Prince Harry has revealed that he plans to have just two children with his wife, Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex opened up this fact while talking to Dr. Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist and environmentalist.
The duke sat down with Goodall for an interview with British Vogue, which his wife has guest-edited for its September issue. He told the scientist that while he wants to expand his family, he's also thinking about how this will impact the planet.
"I think, weirdly, because of the people that I've met and the places that I've been fortunate enough to go to, I've always had a connection and a love for nature. I view it differently now, without question," the duke said. "But I've always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children."
When Goodall told him in jest that she hopes he's not planning on having many children, Prince Harry replied that their maximum is just limited to two kids. He also said that he wants to leave a better place for his children and their generation so he's careful about the carbon footprint they'll leave on the planet.
Royal watchers believe that Prince Harry and Meghan will be trying for baby number two after their official trip to Africa this fall. Royal correspondent Melanie Bromley told the Daily Express that the Sussex couple might make a pregnancy announcement by 2020.
Another royal expert Katie Nicholl previously predicted that Prince Harry wants a big family. However, Nicholl doesn't believe that the second baby will be conceived this year or early next year.
But while these are just speculations about Meghan's second pregnancy, one thing has been confirmed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex don't plan on making Archie Harrison their only child.
Meanwhile, in the same Vogue issue, the Duchess of Sussex that she had a wonderful time working as a guest editor for the magazine while five months pregnant. She wrote in the editor's letter that she loved working with the Vogue team, especially editor Edward Enninful.
Meghan also said that it was her idea to guest edit for the magazine's special September edition. She was supposed to be one of the features. However, she presented herself as the guest editor, and Enninful loved her idea.
The magazine is already at newsstands in the U.K., and some of its contents are also online.
