Meghan Markle’s Pregnancy Confirmed in New Netflix Documentary
A new Netflix documentary about Prince Harry has revealed a never-before-seen image of Meghan Markle pregnant with what is believed to be their daughter, Lilibet.
The documentary was filmed over several months, and the image shows Meghan walking over to a table where her husband is sitting.
Harry seems unable to hide his emotions, and he leans his head into his hands as Meghan puts her laptop down.
A voiceover in the documentary says, “It's about hatred.
It's about race.”
It is unclear when filming for the documentary ended, but Lilibet was born in June 2021, meaning that it was likely ongoing for several months at least.

Meghan and Harry's first child, Archie, was born in May 2019, when they were still working members of the royal family.
They signed their deal with streaming giant Netflix in September 2020, so it's likely that Markle is pregnant with one-year-old Lilibet in the clip.
However, some eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Meghan wore a moon bump in the picture.
One person wrote, “If she is pregnant, the strap you see could be a belly brace, which goes around the lower abdomen and velcros in front and makes a sling.
Really common in us older mums who have less elasticity for a bounce back.
Is she pregnant here?
Just don't know, you can't trust her.”
Another said, “Probably a moon bump.
I'm also wondering if your screen brightness is all the way up.
The indentations, creases, pressure points from undergarments are in the same spots as they would be with a moon bump.
Just to be sure I wasn't confusing belly straps and maternity undergarments with something different.
I did a little look-see through other photos of pregnant women, including my own, but was much fatter than Meghan.”
Despite the excitement surrounding Meghan and Harry's growing family, they are facing criticism from commentators who are calling for them to lose their royal titles.
Niall Gardner, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher, accused the Sussexes of actively campaigning to undermine the royal family.
He called for the couple to be stripped of their royal titles as soon as possible, saying, “Meghan and Harry have abused their royal status for their own self-promotion and financial gain, and have actively campaigned to undermine the British monarchy.”
Respected biographer Tom Bauer also urged King Charles to show leadership by stripping the couple of their royal titles.
He warned of the damage caused by the Netflix series and Harry's forthcoming book and said, “It needs leadership from King Charles, because at some stage they're going to have to draw a line and say the Sussexes have really gone too far in their bid for fame and fortune at the expense of the royal family.
I think the first step, which I think would be very popular, would be to take away the Sussexes' titles.
Of course Harry is born a prince and will remain a prince.
I think the next thing is for Charles to announce that the royal family has no relationship whatsoever with the Sussexes, and they're no longer members of the royal family as far as he's concerned.”
Royal commentator Michael Cole also suggested that Charles could go ahead with the move.
He said, “Now this may seem also quite trivial, but that is big medicine in royal circles where things like this matter very deeply, and it would be a sign of disapproval.
My goodness, one can't say that the royal family hasn't been provoked.”
