Is Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, pregnant with baby number two? Rumors that Prince Harry and Archie Harrison could have a new addition in the Sussex household have been cropping up online after the duchess finished her maternity leave. Excited royal fans are convinced Duchess Meghan is expecting again based on some of these clues that they have been watching out for.
Just like Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess Meghan changed her hairstyle three weeks before the palace officially confirmed she was pregnant. She wore her hair super straight during a public outing when her usual hairstyle is long and wavy or tied neatly in the back.
Meghan Markle also loved wearing buttoned-down coats, and she would keep this buttoned all the way up. During the early term of her pregnancy with Archie, she left a couple of buttons off because her baby bump was obviously growing, per Reader's Digest. In those succeeding weeks, Duchess Meghan was seen wearing oversized coats to hide her pregnancy until it was made official.
In the weeks leading up to her pregnancy, Meghan Markle also liked wearing ruffled dresses and loose pleated skirts. This was yet again another attempt to hide her baby bump while still appearing fashionably fabulous. She also carried around a clutch or a folder that she used to cover her abdominal area conveniently.
It's not just Duchess Meghan who had shown clues she was pregnant. According to body language expert Judi James, even Prince Harry hinted his wife was in a delicate condition. When they were out in public, Prince Harry used to mirror Duchess Meghan's poses by putting his hand over his stomach. He also liked putting his hand on his wife's back as they walked together.
According to Daily Express, betting sites have figured the odds of Meghan Markle pregnant with baby number two are on 8/11. Bettors also think that the palace will be announcing her condition in the next few months.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan expressed, in previous interviews, that they want at least one more sibling for Archie. Unfortunately, the Sussex royals do not have the luxury of time to wait to have another baby since the duchess is 38 years old.
In a speech during the recent WellChild Awards, Prince Harry's voice grew emotional as he talked about his wife's first pregnancy. He said that around this time last year, he squeezed his wife's hand so hard to realize that they would become parents soon.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will make a pregnancy announcement between now and the next year.
