Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their announcement on Valentine's Day in honor of Princess Diana. This was in the same fashion that Harry's late mom, Princess Diana, had announced that she was expecting her second child.

At the time, Diana had shared the news on February 13th, making it run through the day until Valentine's Day. One thing to note is that both women chose Cupid's day to announce their second child's births.

Prior to this, Markle, 39, sparked pregnancy rumors due to a few actions that fans have witnessed. First was the postponement of her privacy trial and also her noticeable absence on public occasions.

Baby number two from Harry and Markle would become the fifth grandchild for Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. The soon-to-be-born child is the couple's rainbow child because Harry and his wife initially endured a miscarriage.

The couple experienced child loss last July, and Markle did not shy away from sharing her loss on social media. With a new baby on the way, the couple is bound to work on their healing.

This might also be Harry, and Markle's last child, as the star dad once shared while speaking to Jane Goodall about Climate change, that two kids were the maximum.
