I truly believe that in the next two years, we’ll have two more royal (ish) babies. I believe the Duchess of Cambridge will get pregnant later this year and have her fourth and final baby in 2020. I believe the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will probably try (and succeed) to get pregnant next year, and give Private Archie a little brother or sister in 2021. That’s my prediction/timeline and I’m sticking to it until further notice. Apparently, Katie Nicholl has heard a rumor that Meghan and Harry aren’t done with baby-making too:
They may have only welcomed baby Archie just over eight weeks ago – but Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may already be thinking ahead to baby number two. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, royal author Katie Nicholl claimed that the couple are “loving parenthood” and may be planning on giving Archie a sibling as soon as next year.
Commenting on how royal watchers are already speculating about whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have another child, Katie said: “I think it’s probably a little premature to be speaking about a second baby. That said, sources close to the couple told me that they really would love to have a big family.”
Describing the couple as “amazing parents”, the expert added: “They absolutely want siblings for Archie, so possibly we will have a pregnancy announcement for Meghan and Harry sometime next year. But for the moment, the focus is obviously on Archie.”
Yeah, I believe that. They’re not thinking about a second kid right now, they’re just focused on Archie. They’re also figuring out their next moves and their future roles in the monarchy and all of that. My prediction: this time next year – meaning mid-summer – they’ll probably start trying to get pregnant. And not to get all up in Meghan’s womb, but she didn’t seem to have any complications with the first pregnancy at all – she got preg really quickly and carried to term and all of that. Still, we can totally expect another round of “geriatric pregnancy!” headlines for Meghan and Meghan alone.

Wow, another scoop from investigative journalist extraordinaire, Katie Nicholl. What next, grey skies predicted for part of the day tomorrow in London?
Right. And it’s so horrible to predict other people’s reproductive choices. I would have been furious if my mom or somebody I knew started talking about when I was going to get pregnant. To see it in print is just gross
Those “geriatric pregnancy” comments are most often concern trolling. They don’t say the same about Kate, who would be equally geriatric in her pregnancy, being only a year younger than Meghan. It’s just another way to have a go at Meghan.
I agree. If Kate will have another baby I want to read the same “geriatric pregnancy” comments.
Meh. I got pregnant with my one and only at 39, delivered at 40. Because it was my first, all my dr’s made a big deal about my age and the fact that it was my first. Referred to high risk and ALL my paperwork said in huge letter the reason for the referral – GERIATRIC PREGNANCY. I think they don’t make as big a deal about Kate’s age because she already had kids. My friends who had kids near the same age as me but it wasn’t their first were treated way differently than I was. I’d like to think they wouldn’t make such a big deal about Meghan’s age with the second (but really, who am I kidding? Of course they will). Anyway, because I went through it, the term geriatric pregnancy is really not insulting to me.
There were quite a few comments about Kate’s last pregnancy being considered a geriatric one. Just search for them . All over the place. Just google
@Bucket0 I only found one article mentioning her being geriatric whereas every headline for Meghan was geriatric this geriatric that. Kate is only 5 months younger than Meghan so I do not understand the difference in coverage. I personally think it is a ridicilous term (it needs to retire) when you hear about women well past 40 having kids with no issues.
I am actually enjoying my geriatric pregnancy. Lots more scans, insurance covers a bit more testing that i previously paid out of pocket for. Would geriatric pregnancy again.
Agree, the criticism is reserved for Meghan, only. At this time, both women are 37, with 6 months between them, but some people think it’s only Meghan who is too old to conceive and bear children.
I kind of would love to be one of these royal experts. You can just state the obvious and people accept it as inside knowledge.
I feel like its obvious they are going to have another kid (barring any complications), and I feel like its going to be relatively fast. Like, I think she will be pregnant by Archie’s first birthday (or around there.) So my prediction is second Sussex baby by February 2021 or earlier (maybe December 2020 as earliest.)
I also think we will get a fourth pregnancy announcement from Kate this fall with a spring baby.
See? I’m a royal expert.
IKR? Follow up story: She’ll probably recycle a few of her maternity looks, depending on the season, and add in a few new outfits as needed.
@Becks1, love your comment! Like its rocket science to predict M&H will have another baby in the next couple of years… Personally I think Meghan will be pregnant again by the end of this year….
Sure, Nicholl is privy to Meghan’s and Harry’s family planning conversations 🙄. It’s not a big stretch to guess that a couple who just had their first baby might want a second one at some point.
Especially if they want their children close in age. But I honestly think Kate and Will are done with children.
Maybe she saw Meghan at the drug store in the pregnancy and fertility aisle. 😉
I love the Private Archie nickname. Archie is so adorable and cute, I will love a baby girl as second child.
I mean they obviously tried to get pregnant immediately after the wedding, I’m sure they’ll try for number 2 quickly. If they try this fall she’ll be 38/39 with number 2 depending how quickly it happens, which is not too bad. After 40, it’s a lot harder on the body so I get why’d they want them closer together.
I still don’t see Kate with 4, but I do see Eugenie announcing this year. I’d love for Zara to as well, if they want three, but they might be content with 2.
I’m waiting for this scene: Eug and Jack announce their expecting this fall, and in the late fall, Meg and Harry announce. Cue the papers SCREAMING H&M are AGAIN trying to “steal Eug’s thunder” with their announcement, and how they’re only getting pregnant *now* to be in competition…. feh!
You just KNOW it’s coming. The ONLY substitution will be Bea and Bug Eyes announcing an engagement, and should H&M be expecting, expect the same results.
Katie Nicholl just states the obvious 😂. She doesn’t know anything just as much as the rest them.
I will be surprised if H & M have a big family, she is almost 40, so it is going to get increasing difficult to have children. I can see 1-2 more. And I was thinking about baby 2 right after having baby 1. They are so little and cute and you are exhausted-dumb and have baby-fever and want more!
And Kate is super skinny right now, that makes me think she isn’t trying to get pregnant.
Here’s my prediction: MM will get pregnant in October and baby will be born July 2020. It will be a girl named Alexandra. Kate and William will not have anymore children, though Kate would love to have a fourth.
Citresse, I agree, I too think M&H will announce another pregnancy before the end of this year and W&K will not have anymore, William really will put his foot down this time.
He can put his foot down, but it all depends on the birth control used.
The saltiness of these reporters since those copyrighted christening pics where published on Sussex Royal is on another level.
Harry and Meghan really hit them in the pockets when they refused to allow them to monetise first their wedding and then their first born child… The most famous pictures from the wedding were snapped by authorized PA photographers and the christening pics taken by a chosen family photographer.
Buckle up Hazza and Meg because you’re in for a bumpy ride from these snakes.
As for opining on another woman’s reproductive choices, there is a specil place for Katie Nicholl.
maybe she will, maybe she won’t – Katie Nicholl knows nothing
Despite my best efforts at trying to be a better person, I feel like *in my mind* I have officially put Kate on bumpwatch. I have confirmed my own theory by looking at pics of her in the Daily Fail. People, I think she may already be pregnant. I think it could be a reaction to ROSE WHO – NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
As for H + M, I think they will get pregnant next year too.
Two weeks after my sister in law gave birth to two boys, she was talking about having another and hoping for a girl. I was all “maybe hold off on this conversation until you can sit down comfortably.”
She was a raised an only child, so I figure it could go either way. I am the daughter of an only child(my father) and an only child myself and have always thought I’d only have one if I every had children. I am 38 though, so it is doubtful I will have one unless I adopt because of my PCOS. Plus, I need to find my beloved first. lol
I would so love Meghan to have another baby soon. Archie is beautiful and these two are such wonderful parents (I believe Harry will be more hands-on than William ever was). Please, please, please let this happen, God.
But how do you know all this? I get you like them (heck, I like them), but some of the projecting here is beyond weird.
Wow genius report here. Most in the royal family have two children, so it seems obvious that H & M will go for two. Zara might be done, and next up for certain is Eugenie, but she has more time to enjoy being married first.
I wonder if Baby Windsor-Mountbatten #2 will be a girl. I think they will have two boys!
I hate bump watch, but I feel like W/K will go for baby 4 and soon, especially with this Jeffery Epstein/Prince Andrew stuff going around. H/M will, as a guess, start trying as soon as Meghan’s body has recovered, and based on the quick conception last time, I predict they will announce before Christmas.
