Following a very raw interview about her journey through the royal family, Meghan was joined by Prince Harry, where they spoke about their growing family.

The couple announced they were expecting a baby girl, who is said to be due early summer.

Speaking of their growing family, Harry said: “Amazing. Just grateful. To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl? What more can you ask for?”.

He added: “We have our family - the four of us and our two dogs.”

The couple announced the pregnancy news on Valentine's Day earlier in the year.

At the time, a spokesperson for the couple said: "We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”
