MEGHAN MARKLE PREGNANT: PRINCE HARRY AND DUCHESS ANNOUNCE THEY ARE EXPECTING BABY

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated Valentine's Day by announcing they are expecting a baby - almost 37 years to the day since Princess Diana revealed she was pregnant with the Duke.

The couple shared a gorgeous black and white photo which captures Meghan's growing baby bump.

Buckingham Palace announced that Diana and Prince Charles were expecting their second child on February 13, 1984, which meant it was on the front page of every newspaper on Valentine's Day.

The front page of the Daily Mirror on February 14, 1984, read: "Prince Charles and Princess Diana have another child on the way.
