Meghan Markle has warmly celebrated the baby news of her long-time friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen, who has announced she is expecting a baby boy next spring. Kelly and Meghan, who have shared a close friendship for many years, had already endured profound hardship together following the tragic loss of Kelly’s son, George. (People)

In her heartfelt Instagram announcement, Kelly posed gently cradling her growing baby bump (the photograph credited to her daughter Lily) and penned:

“Sometimes… just sometimes… when you let light in through the broken pieces of your heart, love grows. Baby boy coming this Spring.”
She went on to reflect:
“The path here wasn’t easy, and yet love kept showing up in the smallest signs, the quietest moments, the light that refused to fade. This little soul is already so loved, a reminder that joy and grief can exist together… and that hope has a way of finding us again.” (Royal Insider)

Meghan, who with her husband Prince Harry has two children, quietly showed her support by “liking” Kelly’s Instagram post. The gesture reinforced her ongoing role as a steadfast friend during Kelly’s grief journey and now in her moments of renewed hope. (The News International)

Their bond has been well-documented: Kelly once shared that Meghan attended her wedding 15 years ago, called her “the most amazing, nurturing, fun, loving human,” and affirmed that Meghan “has been by my side, especially since Georgie died, and I cherish our friendship very much.” (People) Moreover, Meghan and Harry have supported Kelly’s philanthropic work: they attended the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in Los Angeles—held in memory of Kelly’s late son—and helped raise funds for the Alliance for Children’s Rights. Kelly expressed her gratitude, saying: “Meg & H, you continue to amaze me with your commitment to community and your fierce loyalty and love in friendship. … Thank you for holding Georgie in your hearts and helping us carry his light forward.” (Royal Insider)

In a sense, Kelly’s announcement captures a full circle: from profound loss to the hopeful anticipation of new life, and the reminder that grief and joy can exist side by side. And through it all, Meghan’s presence as a friend, supporter and believer in hope stands out.
