Archie is going to be the big brother

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their second child, their spokesman announces on Sunday.

The couple released a black and white image of them under a tree, all smiles, with Markle, 39, showing signs of pregnancy.

“We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother,” the spokesman said, referring to the couple’s son. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”

Meghan and Harry, 36, who is Queen Elizabeth’s grandson, quit frontline royal duties in March last year and now live in California.

The Couple has launched a non-profit organisation, Archewell, after giving up a “Sussex Royal” brand as part of the terms of their departure from frontline royal duties.

They have started other ventures, including signing a deal with Spotify to produce podcasts that tell “uplifting and entertaining stories”.

Harry and Meghan’s announcement came days after Princess Eugenie, a granddaughter of the queen, gave birth to a baby.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are delighted and wish them well”.
