Amid a firestorm of revelations and confessions, one moment of positivity in Harry and Meghan’s TV tell-all was the news they would be welcoming a baby girl in the US summertime.

While the name of their son, Archie – who turns 2 in May – has no royal affiliation, New Idea is told the pair could pick a royal name for their daughter, just in case they ever need to extend an “olive branch” to the royal family following the fallout from their polarising sit-down.

The frontrunners are said to be Diana and Victoria.

“Harry will push to include his beloved mother,” tells an insider. “Meanwhile, Meghan has long been obsessed with Queen Victoria, and especially her involvement in 18th-century politics.”

Harry could barely contain his excitement as he revealed the gender to Oprah.

“What more can you ask for?” he gushed. “We’ve got our family. We’ve got … the four of us and our two dogs, and it’s great.”

Meghan added that this pregnancy would likely be their last, saying: “Two it is.”

After tragically suffering a miscarriage last July, the Sussexes announced their pregnancy news on Valentine’s Day with a stunning black-and-white portrait.

Following the tell-all, they released another family photo – this time with Meghan cradling Archie as he perched on top of her growing bump.

Harry and Meghan’s baby news was announced to the world via their representatives back in February after the couple released a black and white photo of the pair in their back yard, smiling as Meghan lies in Harry’s lap with her baby bump visible beneath a flowing Carolina Herrera dress.

“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,” a spokesperson told PEOPLE, adding that the couple are “overjoyed” to be parents again.
