Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced the sex of their baby during their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Meghan Markle, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, are expecting a baby girl.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed the news during their interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in the US overnight.
Following a very raw interview about her journey through the royal family, Meghan was joined by Prince Harry, where they spoke about their growing family.
The couple announced they were expecting a baby girl, who is said to be due early summer.
Speaking of their growing family, Harry said: “Amazing. Just grateful. To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl? What more can you ask for?”.
He added: “We have our family - the four of us and our two dogs.”

The couple announced the pregnancy news on Valentine's Day earlier in the year.
At the time, a spokesperson for the couple said: "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.”
The couple are already parents to Archie, who will turn two-years-old in May.
During the Oprah interview, the couple revealed that Archie's new favourite word is "hydrate", and that when someone leaves the house he will say "drive safe".
