In an exclusive interview with the queen of chat shows herself, Oprah Winfrey, which aired in America on Mar 7, Prince Harry revealed the couple were expecting a girl.
The good news comes after the Duchess suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage in the summer of 2020.
However, after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on Apr 9, it was revealed that the heavily pregnant Duchess of Sussex will not attend his funeral on the advice of her doctors. The news was confirmed by Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed on Saturday, Apr 10, although Prince Harry was reported to be hoping to arrive back in the UK as early as Apr 11.
The Queen told Meghan Markle she could carry on acting after joining the royal family if she wanted to, Princess Diana s biographer has claimed.
Andrew Morton - who famously penned Princess Diana s blockbuster biography in 1992 - said Meghan and Harry were given the opportunity to go wherever they pleased .
The Queen told Meghan she could forge ahead with a Hollywood career - which had seen her most-famously star as paralegal Rachel Zane in drama Suits - if she did not want to embrace royal duties full time , Mr Morton said.
But he feared neither the Duke nor Duchess of Sussex gave the options as much consideration as they should have done.
Samantha Markle suggested the Duke of Sussex may already be questioning his marriage to Meghan and predicted it could get nasty until he starts dissenting or pulling back from her .
