Confused Meghan Markle fans have been going wild after one of her close friend’s shared a piece of artwork appearing to predict the birth of baby Archie.

Meghan Markle’s BFF and make-up artist Daniel Martin shared the snap of an artwork by Andy Warhol, confusing royal fans who mistook the piece to be a ‘prophecy’ about the Duchess
The Andy Warhol artwork, which is titled ‘A Boy For Meg’, was created some 57 years before Meghan gave birth to baby Archie
One commented: ‘Omg that’s insane, this was known in 1962!’
While another wrote: ‘The genius of Andy Warhol; when artistry meets prophecy.’
New York based Daniel appeared to share the snap while visiting the Californian city on Tuesday.
The Andy Warhol piece was one of a number of paintings created in 1962 that reproduced the front pages of newspapers.
The newspaper style art actually refers to the Queen’s sister Princess Margaret giving birth to son David in 1962
The New York Post cover bore a portrait of Princess Margaret alongside the dramatic headline: ‘A Boy For Meg.’
The headline announced the birth of David Linley of the Queen’s younger sister, Princess Margaret, who was oft called ‘Princess Meg’ by the papers at the time.
And though Daniel hashtagged his post with #princessmargaret, royal fans appeared to have missed the connection, with many deeming Andy Warhol the artwork ‘a prophecy’.
Many were amazed that the visionary artist had seemingly predicted that Meghan would give birth to a boy some 57 years before she and Prince Harry welcomed their firstborn Archie in May 2019.

‘It was literally like a friend asking me to do a wedding,’ he said. ‘I was like, “I’m happy you’re happy, of course I’ll do your make-up.’
