Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and planning a home birth for their baby girl, due this summer, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
The couple had wanted to deliver their first child, Archie, at home and attended by midwives, but ended up going to the hospital, heeding doctors' advice. Archie will turn 2 in May.
Now living in a $14.5 million estate in Montecito, California, Markle and her royal husband will try again to deliver at home.
"She has a beautiful home in California, it's a beautiful setting to give birth to her baby girl," an unnamed source told the Post.
Markle and Harry revealed they were having a baby girl during a tell-all with Oprah Winfrey earlier this month. The child will presumably be the Queen's 10th great-grandchild.
When he saw on the ultrasound they were having a girl, Harry told Oprah he felt "amazing."
"Just grateful - to have any child, any one or any two would have been amazing," he said. "But to have a boy and then a girl, you know, what more can you ask for? But now, you know, now we - we've got our family. We've got, you know, the four of us and our two dogs, and it's great."
The couple ended their official duties as senior royals in April 2020, and later moved to California with Archie. Their daughter will be the first royal born in the US.
