In a poetic twist of fate, the Valentine’s Day announcement was 37 years to the day since Princess Diana announced she was pregnant with her second son, Harry.

Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, a 39-year-old former actress, became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after their wedding in 2018.

Last year, the couple left their roles as senior working royals and moved to California.
