Meghan Markle shared a series of heartwarming photographs on social media on Friday, showing her close bond with her friend Kelly McKee Zajfen's baby boy.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted images of herself holding two-month-old Jack Oliver, including one where she planted a kiss on the redheaded baby's forehead.
"We know I love a redhead," the duchess wrote alongside the picture.
Anticipating potential speculation, she swiftly added a playful clarification: "And let me stop you before they start, no, it's not his baby."
The quip was a clear nod to her husband Prince Harry's distinctive ginger locks.
Mrs McKee Zajfen, 45, welcomed Jack with her husband Julian on March 26, 2026.
The baby's middle name carries profound significance for the family, honouring Mrs McKee Zajfen's late son George, who died at the age of nine from COVID-19 and viral meningitis.
George was the twin brother of Mrs McKee Zajfen's daughter Lily, who turned 13 in November 2025.
That same month, the mother marked her daughter's birthday with an emotional tribute on Instagram, reflecting on the loss of Lily's twin.
Meghan and Prince Harry, who married in 2018, have two children together, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.
Mrs McKee Zajfen reposted both of Meghan's pictures to her own social media, responding to the duchess's Harry joke with an enthusiastic "Hahahahahhahahahahah."
Less than two months after Jack's arrival, the 45-year-old opened up about navigating parenthood following her devastating loss.

"I walk this path so differently now. More aware of time. More patient. More present," she wrote on May 15.
She described holding "joy and grief in the same breath every single day," adding that the two emotions now coexist, "woven into each day, each moment, each milestone."
"But you've reminded me that even after unimaginable loss, life still finds ways to soften you, stretch you, and love you back," she reflected.
