Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are rumored to be expecting their second child together. But since no announcement has been made, royal fans are convinced that Markle isn’t actually pregnant yet.

Rather, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still on the process of making their second child, and their baby may have been conceived in South Africa. If this is the case, royal fans could expect an official announcement from the palace in January.

It is typical for royals to wait until after their first trimester to announce their pregnancies. This is regarded to be the safest time to ensure that the unborn child is safe in the mother’s womb.

Last year, royal fans and experts speculated on the possibility of Markle and Prince Harry’s son, Archie, being conceived in Dublin. After all, Markle’s first pregnancy was announced while she and Prince Harry were in Australia on October 2018.

At that time, Markle was already three months pregnant. This means that her baby was conceived sometime in July. And during this month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on their first trip to Ireland together. Weeks later, they also attended Prince Harry’s friend’s wedding in Dublin.

While the royal couple was in Dublin, a royal fan asked Markle if she and Prince Harry were already trying for a baby. The royal fan said that her husband is a ginger, and they have been blessed with five children.

Markle asked the woman if she really has five kids and said that she doesn’t think she will ever have as many. Prince Harry also said weeks ago that he and his wife will only have a maximum of two kids.

However, it is important to note that the only pregnancy confirmation that royal fans should watch out for is the one from the palace.
