Baby Archie Harrison better prepare himself for a brand new playmate, because his mother Meghan Markle’s best pal Misha Nonoo is expecting her first child.

The fashion designer, who has long been close with Meghan, confirmed her exciting news after marrying her husband Michael Hess in September 2019, in a lavish Italian wedding that was attended by Meghan and Prince Harry themselves.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the designer revealed all, and explained it was a “very grateful time of life”.

“It’s pure magic. I’m so excited to meet our little baby when he comes!” she said.

Misha and Meghan have been pals since way back – the 30-something designer attended Meghan’s baby shower in early 2019, which further established the fact that the pair were close.

In September 2019, Meghan’s new line of clothing with women’s charity Smart Works was released, and it included a special shirt made in collaboration with Nonoo.

Later that month, the Duchess and her husband Harry travelled to Rome for the designer’s nuptials to partner Michael.

Inspired by her pregnancy, Misha has now created her own line of maternity clothing.

As referenced by PEOPLE, one of her new garments, a white shirt, is rather reminiscent of one worn by Meghan Markle back when her relationship with Prince Harry first went public.

Meghan’s Misha Nonoo shirt and blue jeans combo back in 2017 was what dreams were made of.

The then-to-be-Duchess wore the shirt when she stepped out at the 2017 Invictus Games, pairing it with blue jeans and thus catapulting the fashion world into a frenzied denim-and-white-shirt shopping spree.

The iconic style, named the “Husband Shirt”, was tweaked so that it could lend itself to a growing bump, as well as featuring a design to make breastfeeding more manageable.

Meghan, who has been spending time in Canada of late, will no doubt be thrilled with her friend’s happy news.

As the royal mum begins to set up a base in the North American country, she’ll also be closer to Nonoo, who is based in the US.

Looks like eight-month-old Archie might have a little playmate to run amok with before long!
