Meghan Markle's reach extends beyond Royal titles when it comes to controversies and culture. From Suits to Sussex, the Duchess has rewritten what it means to have a global presence, especially while grappling with modern monarchy. Her every move provokes talk, ignites criticisms, and feeds the headlines. Whether it is her elegant lifestyle, her activism, or family life, she is a driving force of a non-stop digital intrigue that extends beyond borders and boundaries, both geographical and personal. With speculations about a third baby in the mix, Markle is once again courting rumors.

Are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex planning to expand their family?

Despite the rumor mills churning, considering Prince Harry's brother is also a father of three, Meghan Markle is not pregnant in 2025, and no credible sources point to any information otherwise. What perhaps has fanned the flames of such speculation could be a throwback video shared by Markle on her Instagram, where she can be seen grooving in maternity wear whilst being pregnant with her second child, Princess Lilibet, four years ago. However, the revived Instagram clip made her labor-inducing method amply clear in the caption. Meanwhile, the couple has previously denounced the idea of begetting a third child, staying content with their family of four and two dogs.

In a 2019 interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, Prince Harry emphasized limiting to two children while discussing climate change. He also told Oprah Winfrey that the couple prefers having no more than two kids. Sharing auspicious moments from Prince Archie's ultrasound pictures in their Netflix docuseries, to Meghan Markle's pregnancy anecdotes in Spare, the couple have been loud and clear in discussing their family plans publicly. With their nuclear family intact, the Sussexes now grapple with rising tensions among their extended Royal family.

When and Why Did Meghan Markle Leave 'Suits'? How Much Did She Make From It?

In spite of the olive branch stories, the fracture in the family looks far from healing, especially with Prince William's alleged distrust of Markle.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's post-Megxit life is marked by passion, independence, and the ups and downs of their Netflix deals. Since they decided to step back from royal duties in 2020 and established a haven in Montecito, California, the friction between the British royal family has come to light. With Prince William's suspicion of Markle reportedly growing following the tell-all ventures, the brothers' alleged beef surges through waves of battles, secrets, and only a few lighter moments.

Controversy, however, never leaves them alone with enduring conspiracy theories, spanning from faked pregnancies to legal warfare that simmers on social media despite being roundly disproven. The couple continues to juggle openness and secrecy, striving to safeguard their family from uncharted public opinion. Amidst a never-ending cycle of speculation, the reality is firmly rooted in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's own words. For now, a third child is definitely not on the way, and neither is a royal reconciliation from the looks of it.
