The Sussex are going to need a bigger boat.
A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed the cheerful news today. “We can confirm that Archie will be an older brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very happy to be expecting their second child. “
Longer term
Archie is the couple’s first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
The Valentine’s Day ad reflects one exactly 37 years ago. That was when Princess Diana revealed that she was expecting Prince Harry.
The news comes when the couple approaches the one-year review of their status as independent operators of the royal family. Queen Elizabeth promises to review her status after allowing the couple’s Megxit to fail to fulfill its official obligations. They have since moved to California and signed a lucrative production deal with Netflix.
Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, revealed in November in an article that she suffered a miscarriage in July, explaining in a personal New York Times article that losing a child means “carrying an almost unbearable pain”.
