MEGHAN Markle is to become a great-aunt after her cannabis-loving nephew has revealed his wife is pregnant, just days after the duchess’ own baby announcement, The Celeb Report can reveal.
Tyler Dooley, who runs a legal multi-million dollar hemp farm in Medford, Oregon and is the son of Meghan’s half-brother Thomas Jr, announced he’s to become a dad on social media.
On Instagram, Tyler shared photos of his heavily pregnant wife enjoying a baby shower with friends.
She wore a sash saying “mommy to bee”, while the room was filled with cakes, presents and a banner welcoming the “sweet little bee… on the way”.
It is believed the baby is due next month.
It comes just days after Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, announced they were expecting baby number two.
The couple shared a black and white picture of themselves under a tree, with a shoeless Harry resting his hand on Meghan’s head as she cradles her bump.
Their spokesman added: “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 had previously spoken about her “unbearable grief” after suffering a miscarriage in July.
She and Tyler do not have a close relationship – with Tyler admitting they never had a “super tight” family.
Over the past two years, Tyler has kept out of the limelight and concentrated on his weed farm, which is growing CBD for medicinal purposes.
The 28-year-old hit the headlines when he originally revealed his plans for the farm and even named one strain after his famous auntie called “Markle Sparkle”.
Tyler has also previously stuck up for Meghan and called his father and the royal’s other half-sibling Samantha’s behavior “embarrassing”.
“It was never like we had a super tight-knit family before to be honest,” he told The Celeb Report.
“But the fact that now the whole world gets to see how my father or Aunt Samantha behaves, it is like an open wound for everyone to see.
“That’s the hardest part, the fact that there is no privacy. It is hard to deal with. It is embarrassing and sad all at the same time.
“My father and Aunt Samantha have sold my grandfather out, sold my family out, sold Meghan out. It has been hard to deal with.”
Judging by Tyler’s Instagram posts, his claims to be earning a fortune from hemp seem valid, as he’s parading luxury cars and watches worth over $250,000.
In the last few months, he’s uploaded photos of a brand new Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch, worth $6,500.
He’s also showed off a range of brand new top-end motors including a Ford C7 Corvette Z06, worth at least $80,000, blacked out BMW X5M Sport SUV, valued at $100,000, and a Ford super truck F350 Platinum with prices starting at $65,000.
