The Sussexes Are Expecting!

[REAL COUNTESS]

I wish them the best of luck this time. Hope she will carry it the full 9 months. Archie will be a big brother to a little sister , or brother.

[Lumutqueen]

I will briefly break my TRF hiatus to wish them the best, having gone through what they have last year I can only hope for a safe pregnancy for both mother and child.

What absolutely smashing news! And that photo is just so, so stunning. A lovely way to announce.

I thought she was pregnant in early December based on the trial delay and how she looked in some of the videos. It makes sense that they would announce a bit later in pregnancy since the pandemic means they are not in public as much.

I would say this baby is due no later than late June but probably around late May? I think she is around 5-6 months now.

Hope she continues to have a healthy pregnancy <3 Really just so thrilled for them

Fantastic news that there's going to be another baby in the Sussex family. I'm hoping for a easy and safe pregnancy and delivery. All babies coming into this world, even in a pandemic, tells us that there will be a future we need to keep and preserve for them.

It's not unusual to show earlier with second or third child. The rubber band theory at work. Once the rubber band has been stretched out, it never goes back to being completely as taut as it used to be and stretches easier.

The best to the Sussex family. I'm sure this little one will be well loved.

Happy news, I hope the pregancy will go well.

Twitter is saying Diana announced her pregnancy of Harry 37 years ago today, assuming this is one of the reasons the news was announced today.

Discussions about whether the Sussexes want privacy, and comparisons to Princess Eugenie and the Cambridges have all been deleted. This thread is for news about Meghan’s pregnancy. It is not to be used to discuss the Sussex lawsuits, the media, other royals, or to rehash things from the General News thread (which is locked for a reason). Further off-topic comments will be deleted.

Yep we have know since before Christmas - baby is due April - May if carried to full term. A number of people in LA have confirmed it and the photo shot this week, basically told the press that they were to announce it soon, also they want to announce their Archewell lineup which is all baby.
To be honest I expected one of the tabloids to run with it already- but I presume now they are concerned about published a pic and been sued.

I am confused that M& H people put it on the wire as international news - well okay.

Lovely that it's been confirmed on Valentine's Day!!!

The news only confirms what I suspected when we hadn't seen much of Meghan for awhile. And then her face looked much fuller in the recent screen capture of the zoom M&H did with the young poetry group. That gave it away for me, along with that pap photo of them leaving a building in December, with Meghan wearing a loose top and a jacket. They must have waited a couple of months, and then began trying again with professional guidance to ensure they were in the best health and the conception would be successful. And then she must have rested and taken it easy these past few months.

I actually thought they might wait a bit longer before sharing the good news....And everything must be going well with this pregnancy. It's nice that they've been able to have all of this close family time due to the pandemic. It's precious the time that they've been able to share in their new home watching Archie grow.

Wishing the Sussexes good luck, continued happiness together, and maybe twins, who knows!

So a Spring baby. How nice, new beginnings.

Congratulations to Harry and Meghan; this is really wonderful news!

From Victoria Arbiter:

Buckingham Palace says the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the rest of the royal family are ‘delighted’ to hear Harry and Meghan’s happy news. The family was told shortly before the announcement was made public.

Well, there is global interest in the Sussexes for sure. They have a global profile. The work they are doing with Archewell is global. The news of Meghan's miscarriage went global with her heartbreaking and healing opinion piece last November in The New York Times, which touched so many people. This is all factual.

[Moonmaiden23]

After the news of the miscarriage, I knew it was only a matter of a few months before there would be an announcement.

Wonderful news for them!

[HereditaryPrincess]

Congratulations!
I'm thrilled for them; especially after Meghan's miscarriage. Eugenie's baby will have a little playmate in the future.

You have to remember there are hundreds of people in line of succession to the throne. Many foreign royals like Haakon who is 81st in line for the throne at the moment, were most certainly not born in the UK.

You're right; there is no requirement for people in the British Line of Succession to be born in the UK. Frederick Windsor's daughter Maud was born in Los Angeles, USA.

And yes, there are so many European Royals eg. Norway & Sweden who are also in the British Line of Succession, albeit way down the line.

[Curryong]

Only just woken up in Australia to this great and wonderful news. I am so happy for them. I knew they would try again for a 2021 baby. Maybe a May baby again?

[evolvingdoors]

Congratulations to the couple.
I knew she was pregnant during that CNN video, it was very obvious.

I agree it's been obvious she is pregnant for awhile now (I even pointed it out during the BH pap walk! she looks fairly advanced about 5 verging on 6 months, so I think late May early June is more likely (Please don't let it fall on my b-day...).

I think they were able to hide because Meghan was mainly at home.

I am happy with this news. It's a good new.
