Prince Harry reveals the gender of second child during Oprah interview

During her tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have revealed the gender of their second baby.

A pregnant Meghan Markle sat down with Oprah Winfrey for their highly-anticipated interview today, and boy did it deliver the goods.

One of Oprah’s very first questions to Meghan was if she knew the sex of her new baby, and to viewers pleasure she said she and Prince Harry would be revealing the gender later on in the interview.

When Harry joined the interview, the topic was brought up again with Harry himself revealing that it was a girl.

Earlier, the Queen spoke out just hours before Meghan’s Oprah interview, praising “dedication to duty” in a Commonwealth Day address alongside other royals on the BBC.

Her Majesty delivered several barbed comments in a special broadcast called A Celebration for Commonwealth Day, which referred to “testing times” and featured Kate and William, Prince Charles and Camilla and Prince Edward’s wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex.

The hour-long program took place to mark Commonwealth Day on Monday – and came ahead of Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which airs on CBS in the United States at 8pm-10pm ET on Sunday (12pm-2pm Monday AEDT). The rival broadcasts by the royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex land amid huge controversy over Megan and Harry’s decision to give a tell-all interview on Palace life.

The Duchess of Sussex is also facing allegations of bullying aides during her time as a working royal, which she strenuously denies, with a spokesperson for the couple saying it is “no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining the Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and the Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience.”

Last month, the Sussexes officially stepped back from royal duties, after announcing they were expecting their second child.
