“OK OK I’ll be the one to say it. If I never see Prince Harry’s bare feet again it’ll be too soon” added another.
The couple announced the pregnancy on Valentine’s Day.
“We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother,” a spokesman for the couple said.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are delighted and wish them well.”
The pregnancy photo was taken by the couple’s longtime friend and photographer Misan Harriman.
The wonderful news comes just months after Meghan revealed her “unbearable grief” after suffering a miscarriage in July.
The Duchess of Sussex, 39, wrote of the moment she knew she was “losing” her second baby in a deeply personal essay for the New York Times.
