Meghan Markle and Prince Harry want to take ‘time off’ after the birth of their baby.

When their second child, a baby girl, arrives, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be in fresh baby bliss.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have both decided to take a lengthy maternal and paternity break.

A source close to the pair told Vanity Fair, “They will both take some proper time off. It will be the summer and they want to make sure they both take their leave so they have some real quality time together once the baby arrives .”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing to deliver their second child, a daughter, at their home in Montecito, after scrapping arrangements for a home birth for baby Archie.

When Archie was born, Harry’s paternity leave was cut short only days after the birth when he went to the Netherlands for a work engagement, while Meghan was busy editing an issue of British Vogue and planning a capsule line for Smart Works during her pregnancy and after Archie’s birth.

After Prince Charles, Prince William, William’s three children George, Charlotte, and Louis, Prince Harry, and Archie, the new Sussex infant, whom Harry and Meghan have confirmed will be their last, will become eighth in line to the throne. Meghan and Harry’s daughter would now be the first royal born in the United States, which suggests she might one day run for president.
