A source close to Prince Harry's wife said to HollywoodLife:
She's been spending most of her time at home in recent months because of the pandemic, but also to avoid the news of her pregnancy breaking/
The source added:
And when she went out, she always wore overcoats to hide her bump.
This insider continued:
She has a very small circle of friends and people who trust her team, but apart from a few of them, nobody knew about it.
It's obvious that in the midst of a health crisis, where social distancing is key, it's easier to hide a pregnancy. Moreover, living in Los Angeles helped the couple keep this secret for as long as possible. The source finally concluded:
With such a huge property and the magic of videoconferencing, she hardly saw anyone, so it was easy to hide her second pregnancy.
