Representatives
of
Meghan
Markle
and
Prince
Harry
have
confirmed
that
the
royal
couple
is
expecting
their
second
child.
People
reported
that
a
statement
was
revealed
on
behalf
of
the
couple
on
Sunday
(February
14).
The
representative
did
not
reveal
an
expected
due
date
and
said,
"We
can
confirm
that
Archie
is
going
to
be
a
big
brother.
The
Duke
and
Duchess
of
Sussex
are
overjoyed
to
be
expecting
their
second
child."
The
statement
was
shared
by
the
spokesperson
via
email
to
Insider
along
with
an
unseen
black-and-white
photo
of
Harry
and
Markle.
The
picture
shows
Markle
with
her
hand
on
her
baby
bump.
In
July
2020,
Meghan
through
an
essay
for
The
New
York
Times
titled
'The
Losses
We
Share'
had
revealed
that
she
suffered
a
miscarriage.
She
had
said,
"After
changing
[son
Archie's]
diaper,
I
felt
a
sharp
cramp.
I
dropped
to
the
floor
with
him
in
my
arms,
humming
a
lullaby
to
keep
us
both
calm,
the
cheerful
tune
a
stark
contrast
to
my
sense
that
something
was
not
right.
I
knew,
as
I
clutched
my
firstborn
child,
that
I
was
losing
my
second."
"Hours
later,
I
lay
in
a
hospital
bed,
holding
my
husband's
hand.
I
felt
the
clamminess
of
his
palm
and
kissed
his
knuckles,
wet
from
both
our
tears.
Staring
at
the
cold
white
walls,
my
eyes
glazed
over.
I
tried
to
imagine
how
we'd
heal," Variety
had
quoted
Markle
as
stating
in
the
essay.
"Losing
a
child
means
carrying
an
almost
unbearable
grief,
experienced
by
many
but
talked
about
by
few," she
added.
The
news
came
just
months
after
Markle,
39,
and
Harry,
36,
ended
their
official
duties
as
senior
royals
in
April
2020.
The
couple
welcomed
their
first
child,
Archie
Harrison
Mountbatten-Windsor,
on
May
6,
2019.
