KEY POINTS

  • Meghan Markle is rumored to be pregnant with baby number two
  • Meghan Markle is not featured in Archie and Prince Harry's New Year photo because she's hiding her baby bump
  • Meghan Markle is rumored to give birth in spring

Meghan Markle is reportedly pregnant with baby number two, and the Duchess of Sussex dropped another major clue over the holidays.

According to entertainment blogger Perez Hilton, there are rumors suggesting that Prince Harry’s wife is in hiding that’s why she’s not featured in the photo that the Sussexes released on New Year’s Eve.

The snap, which was uploaded on Instagram, shows Prince Harry cradling 7-month-old Archie in his arms. The father and son are both wearing their winter gear complete with matching bonnets.

Hilton revealed that there are ongoing speculations that Markle has been hiding from the public because she’s also trying to hide her growing baby bump.

Meanwhile, there’s another ongoing rumor suggesting that the Duchess of Sussex could give birth in the spring. The season will start this coming March and will end in May.

This means that if Markle is really pregnant with her second child, she and Prince Harry’s baby could share the same birthday with Archie. And if the rumors about a spring baby are true, this means that the Duchess of Sussex is already five to six months pregnant.

In related news, the Duchess of Sussex’s rumored pregnancy received a slew of different reactions from netizens.

“The royal family reproduces like laboratory animals,” Twitter user @WilliCaroline said.

“They’re in Canada because the Queen told them to go there and be quiet,” Twitter user @tray_529 said.

“Look at her age… She might want to have her children before she hits 40,” Twitter user @FoxytailRedhead said.

“I’ve assumed she’s pregnant for a while now. Seems obvious,” Twitter user @hstevie said.

Earlier this month, rumors also swirled that Markle may be hiring a surrogate for her second child. The unfounded claims made by royal fans went as far as accusing Prince Harry’s wife of lying about her first pregnancy and using a surrogate with Archie.
