The photographer – who also took the original pic that the parents used to announce their pregnancy news – shared the pic on Instagram tonight.
He wrote: “What wonderful news to celebrate on International Women’s Day!
“Congratulations my friends, and welcome to the #girldad club H.”
The caption was accompanied by a red heart – with the snap again taken remotely due to Covid.
Last night, Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, told Oprah they were expecting a girl.
And they said that although they waited to find out Archie’s gender, this time they chose to find out whether they are having a boy or a girl – and admitted they would stop at two kids.
Speaking on Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special, Meghan and Harry made the revelation.
Oprah asked Harry how he felt learning he would have a daughter, and Harry gushed: “Amazing. Just grateful.
“To have any child, any one or any two, would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl, what more can you ask for. We’ve got our family—the four of us and our two dogs.”
Oprah added: “Done?” and Meghan responded, “Done. Two is it.”
When asked when their baby girl is due, Meghan confirmed “summertime”, which means she could arrive after Archie’s second birthday in May.
The couple announced on Valentine’s Day that they were expecting their second child.
The wonderful news comes just months after Meghan revealed her “unbearable grief” after suffering a miscarriage in July.
Their spokesman added last month: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”
The Queen and the rest of the royal family were said to be “delighted” at the news – with the baby due later this year.
Meghan and Harry, 36, along with one-year-old son Archie now live in Santa Barbara in a £11m mansion and are neighbours of Oprah.
The explosive interview aired on CBS in the US, and will be shown in the UK on ITV on Monday at 9pm.
