SOLVED!
[Blind Gossip] They are one of the most famous couples in the world.
Your friends at Blind Gossip originally told you their exact baby-making schedule before their wedding even took place.
We were right on the money with their first child.
Now we are going to tell you about a little change of plan for the second child!
She was originally going to take a full year between. The doctors recommended two. However, she does not want to wait that long. She is in very good health, so there is absolutely no cause for concern.
While there was no mention of her husband being on board with this accelerated timeline, we will assume that he agrees that they should try for that second child sooner rather than later.
So while the doctors wanted her to wait two years… and the couple was going to wait one year… that plan is being thrown out the window… and we may see another pregnancy as fast as her body can manage one!
Her body, her choice. At least another pregnancy will help keep her in the headlines!

SOLVED!
Couple: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Your friends at Blind Gossip told you about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s baby-making schedule even before their glamorous wedding.
In an earlier blind item, we told you that the couple was aiming to get pregnant just a few months after marrying. (see Fast Baby).
She has proposed a schedule and he has already agreed to it. Wedding, three to six months settling in, pregnant, first baby, one year break, pregnant, second baby.
So, depending on how long it takes her to get pregnant, two babies in the first three to four years of marriage.
That’s fast!
Sure enough, the couple announced that they were pregnant just five months after their wedding!
Their first child, a healthy baby boy named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was born in May 2019.
After the birth of Archie, many people speculated that – for various reasons – Meghan would not have a second baby.
We knew that wasn’t true.
After Archie was born, we told you that Harry and Meghan not only wanted a second baby… but decided that they didn’t need to wait!
Meghan was nearing 40, in good health, and ready to get pregnant again as soon as her body was able.
Now we have learned that Meghan Markle did indeed get pregnant again in the year after Archie’s birth!
Sadly, she lost the baby in July 2020.
From the BBC:
Meghan: Duchess of Sussex tells of miscarriage ‘pain and grief’
The Duchess of Sussex has revealed she had a miscarriage in July, writing in an article of feeling “an almost unbearable grief”.
“I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Meghan said in a piece for the New York Times.
She went on to describe how she watched “my husband’s heart break as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of mine”.
Meghan wrote that “loss and pain have plagued every one of us in 2020”.
The 39-year-old shared her experience to urge people to “commit to asking others, ‘are you OK?'” over the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
That last comment harkens back to that famous interview in South Africa in September of 2019.
Meghan Markle teared up as she commented on her life in the public eye.
The New York Post had this comment:
Save the tears, Meghan Markle
It’s against the wretched backdrop of this war-torn continent that Markle tells sympathetic British interviewer Tom Bradby that she’s “existing, not living.” She thanks him for asking how she is, because “not many people have asked if I’m OK.”
Few viewers would fail to be moved by Meghan’s struggles as a new mom in the spotlight, but did the Sussexes ever stop and think that their tour might not be the right time or place to whine about their plight?
Something’s off when you’re bemoaning your lot as a VIP while championing worthy causes such as the rights of poverty-stricken women and children.
At the time, there was a lot of eye-rolling and criticism over what were perceived to be selfish comments by Meghan.
A year later, after a personal tragedy, she has taken that question – “Are you okay?”- and made it work to her advantage as a sign of compassion.
Back to the BBC article.
A source close to the duchess confirmed to the BBC that the duchess is currently in good health and the couple wanted to talk about what happened in July, having come to appreciate how common miscarriage is.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “It’s a deeply personal matter we would not comment on.”
Here is a photo of Meghan visiting Buckingham Palace as a teen.
That refusal to comment is completely in keeping with Buckingham Palace protocol.
The duchess and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, moved to California to live away from the media spotlight, after stepping back as senior royals in January.
After “Megxit,” the couple moved to Canada and then California. They stayed at Tyler Perry’s house and did some house hunting before finally investing in some real estate of their own.
Here is their new $15 million home in Montecito. Note the little child’s playground on the left.
Their first child, Archie, was born on 6 May 2019.
The duchess began her article by describing a “sharp cramp” she felt while looking after Archie.
“I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right,” she wrote.
“Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears.
“Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal.”
Losing a baby is heartbreaking.
We extend our sincere condolences to Harry and Meghan and hope that they fully recover from this sad event.

It’s got to be * & *?
* loves attention and this is a guaranteed way of getting as much pr as poss! Gawd, help us though – I’m definitely not ready to see all that coat swinging & belly cupping again so soon and I’m not sure if the UK public want to either (she got quite a lot of stick for it last time) ;).
PGreen says
Um yeah. I so don’t get the Meghan hate. She appears to be a very good influence on Harry. He’s clearly smitten with his wife and son. And she’s what? 37 or so? Time’s a wasting. Lovely couple and I wish them well.
yesyesyall says
Harry and Meghan.
Why the rush? She is getting older. And Lord knows if she *fails* to have another child or God forbid one that does not meet society’s perception of healthy and perfect she will be blamed.
All these comments about ‘belly cupping’ kill me. Show me one media personality who is pregnant who does not pose that way consistently.
So much bitter unfounded hatred of this new mother.
hazura jane says
MeAgain and Prince Harry. Whateverdoodle; I used to be so interested and now I just don’t care. Watching Prince Harry (military-trained) barking at her for not paying attention during God Save the Queen at Trooping the Colour reminded me of those pics of Princess Diana blowing off Prince Charles when he tried to kiss her. The first cracks in the facade.
Starduster says
* is competing now with Kate’s 4th.
crazycatlady says
* & * aka Harry and Meghan
She’ll be 38 in August, so it makes sense. Still, probably best to wait at least 6-9 months. As for ulterior motives, who knows. There are a laundry list to choose from.
Alexis_Rose says
Seems to me * was in a tight spot on the balcony for the Queen’s birthday, being ordered to “turn around” by her sour looking husband. Twice! That was rather fun to see, honestly. She looked like a child being admonished by a parent, and then like she was going to cry. Has she learned nothing about protocol yet? I say another baby is to make sure there’s a good payout when the divorce hits.
BobNYC says
Poor Prince Harry. He’s going to suffer another “Royal Family Princess Diana Plan” and doesn’t realize it. They’ll get rid of Markle too.

OMFG another 9 months of her holding her belly like she’s the first woman to have a child.

This is Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. I mean, she’s almost 38, so I would imagine she wants to have another baby now before she gets older and maybe might have a little more trouble.

Being over thirty-five, she has a greater chance of developing certain risks while pregnant, so she probably feels she’s running out of time.

Sounds very like * Markle. The more babies she pushes out the stronger hand she plays for whether she stays or leaves. And there are all those new designer clothes to buy, another outrageous baby shower, so, so many reasons to be in headline news.

They seem extremely happy and have both waited a long time for their family. As long as she is healthy, why wait at age 37 for the next pregnancy. I totally support the choices the couple make for their family.
As for headlines, H&M don’t need another baby for the headlines. The British press can’t seem to take a day without writing about them. IMO H&M just need to continue their good works, their IG, raise their family, and live their lives.

She cannot bear to be out of the spotlight and Duchess Kate has survived the conflict with MM and the Wills scandal with grace and great poise…she looks more like a future Queen Consort every day.

Why do you think she wants to speed up the plan? To compete with Will & Kate of course! I can see them having another baby and Megan would get preggo just to try take the limelight. Except I think it will backfire on her. You can already tell the RF has had about enough of her, they cold shouldered her like crazy at the TotC….actions speak louder than words…and their actions scream GET OUT!

Markle. Honestly, I’m so tired of hearing about her and Harry. As if no one in the world ever had a baby before. I think she is way too thirsty for the spotlight, since she never achieved fame as an actress in her own right.
Makes sense that she’d want not to wait, given her age. Good health does not always guarantee that you will be able to get pregnant.
zappy2050 says
Everyone is tired. That is why they are shipping them to Africa.

I’d say it’s because she could be ousted any moment, but that doesn’t make much sense because she already has her heir. Maybe she reasons that the more children she has with Harry, the harder it’ll eventually be for him to divorce her/the more money she’ll get for it?

He’s seeming less smitten as time goes on. That clip of him snapping “Turn around” at her during the recent Trooping the Colour ceremony was telling. She DGAF about royal protocol or decorum, and his patience can only go so far. (He may not care either, but he’s respectful and close to his family. She never will be.)
The Big D says
Megain and hapless Harry.
She wants to speed up because of her age and because she wants the attention of another pregnancy so quickly. It also could be part of her exit plan-she will get more out of a divorce with two children than with one.

zappy2050 says
Sorry – but this woman is going nowhere. She will pull out all the stops in the book to stay in the royal family. I also don’t think Harry will “wise up” Everyone told him before and he didn’t believe them . He strikes me as the type of person who once he makes up his mind – that’s it. I know that is not what people want to hear – but touch base with me in 20 years.
