Markle, 39, and Harry, 36, welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019. He'll be 2 years old this coming May.
Markle previously shared in an essay for The New York Times titled "The Losses We Share" and published in July 2020 that she suffered a miscarriage.
"Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few," she wrote in the essay.
