The news was announced alongside a black and white photo of the couple at their California home, by friend and photographer Misan Harriman.

“Meg, I was there at your wedding to witness this love story begin, and my friend, I am honoured to capture it grow. Congratulations to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on this joyous news,” Harriman wrote.

The announcement comes just a few months after Meghan revealed she suffered from pregnancy loss in July 2020.

Sharing her miscarriage experience in a New York Times essay, The Duchess hoped to bring awareness to the “staggering commonality” of miscarriage.

“The conversation remains taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning,” she wrote.

“Some have bravely shared their stories; they have opened the door, knowing that when one person speaks truth, it gives license for all of us to do the same.”

The new baby will be the fifth grandchild of Prince Charles and Diana, and Queen Elizabeth’s 10th great-grandchild.

Meghan, Harry and young Archie are currently residing in Santa Barbara, California.
