Congratulations to the new family of four: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are officially expecting their second child. The already-adored baby will be an older sibling to Archie, who will turn two in May. The couple announced the news with a sweet photo taken by Meghan's friend Misan Harriman, who explained on Instagram that it was captured remotely on an iPad. 

So what does the announcement have to do with the late Princess Diana? As eagle-eyed outlets like People explained, Princess Diana announced she was expecting her second child (Prince Harry) this exact same week 37 years ago. It was announced on February 13, 1984, that she and Prince Charles were adding to their family. Coincidence? Well, the couple is known for paying tribute to his late mother in subtle ways, such as planting her favorite flowers during a charity event, so I wouldn't put it past them. Scroll down to see their cute baby announcement.

Next, four royally-banned trends Meghan Markle can now wear. 

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
