Prince Harry has revealed he was “shocked” when he found out that Meghan Markle’s pregnancy was announced the same day as Princess Diana’s.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed they were expecting their baby daughter Lilibet on Valentines Day last year – February 14.
They told the world in a statement: “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.”

But it turns out their baby news came on the exact same day it was announced Diana was pregnant with Harry in February 14 1984 – 37 years before.

But the Duke insisted it was simply an incredible “coincidence” that the days were the same and that he only found out when two people pointed it out to him after his Lilibet news.
He opened up about the fifth episode of Harry & Meghan which dropped to Netflix on Thursday (December 15).
Harry said: “Once we announced it, I got two messages from two completely different people who sent me the front page of Valentine’s Day 1984 of my mother announcing that she was pregnant with me.

“I was shocked. We had no idea, it was just a coincidence. Or maybe not a coincidence.”
The Duke and Duchess shared a stunning black and white photo of Meghan cradling her baby bump underneath a tree.
Royal pundits at the time were convinced Harry and Meghan had chosen the day as a tribute to Harry’s late mother.
