The baby will be eighth in line to the British throne.

In a statement from the Queen, Buckingham Palace, said: "Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and entire family are delighted and wish them well."

Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle married at Windsor Castle in May 2018.

Their son Archie was born a year later.

In early 2020, Meghan and Harry announced they were quitting royal duties and moving to North America, citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media.

They recently bought a house in Santa Barbara, California.

In November, Meghan revealed that she had a miscarriage in July 2020, giving a personal account of the traumatic experience in hope of helping others.
