Judging by the size of Meghan's baby bump in her beautiful black and white photo with husband Harry, it looks like her baby could be due around May or June time. This would give an age difference of about two years between the newborn and his or her big brother Archie, who was born in May 2019.

If we're accurate about Duchess Meghan's due date, her children will have a similar age gap to that of George and Charlotte. Has Harry taken inspiration from his brother, Prince William's family?
