On Sunday Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced that they are expecting their second child in 2021. During the Royally Obsessed podcast, royal commentator Rachel Bowie stated that the age-gap between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie and their second child is a tribute to Prince Harry’s love for Prince William.

Ms Bowie said: “I do like that there is a similar age gap between [Archie and the second child].

“I think that points to Harry loving having William as an older brother and growing up together.

“They were pretty close in age and Archie will hopefully experience the same things.

“So I think that is exciting.”
