The baby will be the pair's second child after welcoming Archie on the 6 May 2019, and it's not yet clear when the bub is due to arrive.

The baby will also be whats commonly referred to as a 'rainbow baby', the first baby after their tragic miscarriage last year.

The couple shared their heartbreaking news in July 2020 via an article written by the Duchess of Sussex for the New York Times, writing: “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.”

Meghan was praised for the ‘brave’ move she took in penning the essay, with many women who have gone through the same thing claiming it makes them feel ‘less alone’.
