Prince Harry Hints That Meghan Markle Might Be Pregnant

A silver Audi listed on a British car site set off a full-blown pregnancy watch for Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry quietly put his personal sports car up for sale in early August 2018, and within days it had royal watchers convinced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were clearing space in the garage — and maybe the nursery. The car in question wasn’t some throwaway runabout. It was the vehicle Harry used to shuttle his then-fiancée to one of the biggest society events of 2017, and its sudden disappearance from his driveway was enough to get gossip outlets buzzing about a baby.

• Harry listed his silver 2017 Audi RS6 Avant — a 552-horsepower station wagon with just 4,464 miles on it — for £71,900 (roughly $94,000) through the dealership Overton Prestige on Auto Trader.
• Harry had driven that same Audi to bring Meghan Markle to Pippa Middleton’s wedding reception in May 2017, making it a car with real sentimental mileage in the couple’s story.
• Separately, reports surfaced that Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was taking baby-care classes in Los Angeles and preparing to spend extended stretches of time in the United Kingdom.

The Car That Started It All

The Audi RS6 Avant is not a car anyone buys by accident. It’s a fast, loud, distinctly bachelor-era machine — the kind of vehicle a prince drives when he’s still answering to no one but himself. So when Harry handed it off to Overton Prestige for resale at £71,900, commentators didn’t read it as a routine trade-in. They read it as a lifestyle pivot, the sort of move a new husband makes when a two-seat mentality no longer fits the plan.

Video coverage from outlets including Nicki Swift ran with the theory almost immediately: trading a 552-horsepower performance wagon for something more practical looks a lot like a couple making room for a car seat. Nobody at Kensington Palace said as much, but the timing — just weeks after the wedding — did plenty of the talking on its own.

A Car With History

What gave the story its legs wasn’t just the sale itself, but the car’s résumé. This was the Audi Harry used to drive Meghan to Pippa Middleton’s wedding reception back in May 2017, long before the world had confirmed their engagement. Letting go of a vehicle tied to one of the more romantic footnotes of their courtship struck plenty of royal-lifestyle watchers as more than housekeeping.

552 horsepower, 4,464 miles, £71,900 — and suddenly a sports car listing became the biggest royal baby rumor of the summer.

The Sussexes have made a habit of doing things their own way since their May 19, 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle, and fans eager to track their next milestone latched onto anything that looked like a signal. A car swap isn’t exactly a Kensington Palace statement, but in the absence of one, it became the closest thing available.

Reading Between the Lines

The Audi sale wasn’t presented in a vacuum. Reports also circulated that Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother, had started taking baby-care classes in Los Angeles and was reportedly making plans to spend extended time in the UK — details that, paired with the car listing, gave the pregnancy chatter more shape than a single Auto Trader posting could on its own. Readers curious about the Ragland family dynamic can dig deeper in this timeline of Meghan Markle’s parents’ relationship.

None of it amounted to confirmation. It amounted to a pattern that gossip outlets were more than happy to connect, especially for a couple whose every wardrobe choice and public appearance had already been treated as a potential clue since the wedding.

No Word From the Palace

As of early August 2018, Kensington Palace had made no official statement about a pregnancy, and nothing beyond the car sale and the secondhand reports about Ragland’s preparations was fueling the story. The Sussexes have generally kept their private life close, which is exactly why a used-car listing carried so much weight with a fanbase starved for real information.

For now, the Audi is just a listing on Auto Trader with an asking price of £71,900, and the pregnancy talk is exactly that — talk, built on a car sale and a set of baby classes in Los Angeles. Until Kensington Palace says otherwise, that’s the whole story.
