Meghan and Harry say their second child is a girl.

The two made the revelation in their interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired on Sunday night in the US, a rare positive moment in a conversation that dwelt mostly on their struggles within the royal family.

Their first child, son Archie, turns two in May.

Harry said “to have a boy and then a girl, what more can you ask for? But now we’ve got our family. We've got the four of us and our two dogs.”

Harry, wearing a grey suit as he sat next to his wife at a distance from Winfrey, joined the interview after Meghan talked to Winfrey alone.

He denied blindsiding the queen with the news that he and Meghan were stepping down from their royal duties, saying it was preceded by several conversations.

“I've never blindsided my grandmother," Harry said. "I have too much respect for her.”

He did however say that his father, Prince Charles, has stopped taking his calls.
