This news is coming just days after Princess Eugenie’s wedding, where Markle was the subject of unfair speculation after she wore a coat many thought was covering up a baby bump. It should go without saying that even though Markle is pregnant, making assumptions based on a woman’s appearance is never OK.
It’s been quite the year for Markle and Prince Harry, who married in May and have made a steady stream of appearances since then. The couple’s first royal tour officially begins tomorrow, October 16, with a stop in Sydney, Australia.
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!
