Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said in their interview with Oprah Winfrey that they're expecting a baby girl in the summer.

After the couple announced their baby's gender, an interview from 2015 that Markle did with the Canadian publication Hello! magazine resurfaced.

Markle, who was then starring in the legal drama "Suits," told Hello! that she bought herself a two-tone Cartier French Tank watch that retailed for $5,800 at the time of writing. She told the magazine that she wanted to pass it down to her daughter one day.

"I've always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch. When I found out 'Suits' had been picked up for our third season - which, at the time, felt like such a milestone - I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version," Markle said.

"I had it engraved on the back, 'To M.M. From M.M.' and I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That's what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them," she said.

Harry and Markle said that they're likely done having kids

During the couple's tell-all interview with Winfrey, Harry said that he and Markle are excited to have a family of four.

"To have any child, any one or any two would've been amazing, but to have a boy and then a girl - what more could you ask for?" Harry said. "Now we've got our family. We've got the four of us, our two dogs."

After getting married in May 2018, Harry and Markle welcomed their first child, Archie, in May 2019.

In an op-ed article that Markle wrote for The New York Times in November 2020, the duchess said that she suffered a miscarriage during her second pregnancy in July 2020.

"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second," the duchess wrote.

On Valentine's Day, Harry and Markle announced that they're expecting, and they shared a black-and-white picture that was taken remotely via iPad by their close friend, photographer Misan Harriman.

The couple shared bombshell revelations about their time in the royal family

In their interview with Winfrey that first aired in the US on March 7, Markle and Harry spoke candidly about their experience in the royal family.

Markle said that she had suicidal thoughts after joining the royal family. She also said that despite expressing her thoughts, she was denied mental-health support.

Markle and Harry also told Winfrey that unnamed members of the royal family expressed "concerns" about how dark Archie's skin would be before he was born. Harry later told Winfrey that neither the Queen nor Prince Philip were the royals who had those conversations.
