As THAT Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview with Oprah Winfrey aired in America over night, the pair dropped a number of bombshells, but some positive news to come out of the tell-all chat was Meghan revealing the gender of the couple's unborn baby.

The loved-up pair, who announced they were expecting their second child earlier this year, have confirmed they are expecting a baby girl in the Summer.

Admitting a baby girl will complete their family, Meghan told Oprah, "Two is it," with Harry adding, "Just grateful. To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing.

"But to have a boy and then a girl, I mean, what more can you ask for? Now we've got our family, we got the four of us and our two dogs."

After announcing the heartbreaking news that she suffered a miscarriage back in 2020, former Suits actress Meghan and her husband Prince Harry announced they were expecting their second child together back in February.

Sharing a stunning black and white photo showcasing Meghan's beautiful bump, a spokesperson for Meghan and Harry 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.”

Prince Harry and Meghan first started a family back in May 2019, welcoming baby Archie into the world a year after their wedding took place at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

To celebrate his first birthday last year, the pair shared a cute video of proud mum Meghan reading a book to her son on the Save The Children Instagram page.

The post read, 'Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex reads "Duck! Rabbit!" for Archie's birthday. "Duck! Rabbit!" with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex (and Harry, The Duke of Sussex behind the camera), read to their son Archie for his 1st birthday. Happy Birthday, Archie!' (sic)
