The British royal family will be growing again after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced on Sunday they're expecting their second child together.
After the couple announced the news on Valentine's Day, Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the family revealed they are "delighted."
"Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are ‘delighted’ and wish them well," Buckingham Palace told Fox News on Monday.
The comment specifically referred to the Queen, Prince Philip, and Prince Charles, Harry's grandparents and father, respectively.

A spokesperson for Markle and Harry told Fox News on Sunday: "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."
In May of 2019, the couple welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Soon after, they announced that they were stepping back from their duties as senior royals. They currently live in California together.

Markle said she was sharing her story to help break the silence around an all-too-common tragedy.

Although the couple no longer uses their "royal highness" titles, the prince remains in the British line of succession to the throne, where Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, currently sits. Harry is sixth in line to the throne, putting Archie at seventh and their second child would theoretically be eighth.
