It’s typically genetic ,meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their second child and first daughter, Lillibet ‘Lilli’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor this year on 4 June 2021, two years after the birth of their son, Archie Harrison, on 6 May 2019.
During The Duchess of Sussex’s second pregnancy, photos taken when she visited The National Theatre suggested that she has hypermobile joints. As she cradled her baby bump, Meghan’s thumb seemed to bend back unusually far, and experts say this is exactly the kind of thing you’d see on someone who has hypermobility, while it’s typically a hereditary condition.
As for the likelihood of Meghan passing the condition onto Lillibet and Archie, it’s not a dead cert, but it comes down to the genetic mutation of collagen – the stuff that protects our joints and acts as a cushioning for them to move smoothly without pain. If Lillibet and Archie do end up with the same kind of condition, it’s not a major concern, rather it just means they’ll have a bigger range of movement in their joints, so strengthening the surrounding muscles to keep everything stable is a must.

Anisha adds: “Many people with hypermobility don’t experience pain, and strength training is great to keep symptoms at bay – such as joints popping out or dislocating.”
Meghan hasn’t confirmed whether or not she actually has hypermobile joints elsewhere in her body, but it would also explain why she’s pretty good at yoga. Past photos from her former lifestyle blog The Tig showed that she could master some of the more advanced yoga moves that require a lot of flexibility in the joints, so it would certainly make sense.
