“We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother,” a spokesperson for the couple has confirmed. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”

The news comes after Markle shared in November that she had a miscarriage last summer.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the entire family are “delighted and wish them well.”
