Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the proud parents of 4-year-old Prince Archie and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet, have left fans wondering if they will expand their family further.
Speculations about a possible third child have been circulating among Sussex fans, especially after Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, moved into their Montecito mansion.
However, these rumors seem to be just that – rumors.
In November 2023, The Daily Mail reported that Meghan and Harry were keen on having a third child.
However, there is skepticism surrounding the authenticity of these claims, thanks to an admission made by Harry in 2019 regarding their family’s size.
During an interview with renowned environmentalist Jane Goodall for British Vogue, Harry expressed his concerns about the planet and mentioned that they planned to have a maximum of two children.
Harry spoke about his belief that the world is borrowed and that, as intelligent and evolved beings, we should leave a better future for the next generation.
He acknowledged that humanity had stolen their future.
This interview took place shortly after the birth of their first child, Archie, in May 2019, and it fueled excitement among fans for the possibility of a second child.
Even before meeting Meghan, Prince Harry had expressed his desire to become a father.
In a 2012 interview with ABC News, shortly after his marriage to the Duchess of Sussex, Harry revealed his longing for children.
He stated that he had wanted kids since he was very young and was waiting for the right person who would be willing to take on the role of a parent.
In 2016, Harry spoke about making his late mother, Princess Diana, proud and how he believed she would love for him to have children.
He expressed his hope that she was looking down on them with tears of pride.
He mentioned that she would be longing for him to have kids so she could be a grandmother once again.
Harry emphasized that everything they do, both privately and officially, should make his mother proud.
While fans may continue to speculate about the possibility of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle expanding their family, it seems that their previous statements about limiting their children’s number for environmental reasons cast doubt on these claims.
Only time will tell if the Sussexes will defy their earlier stance and welcome a third child into their lives.
Until then, fans will eagerly await any official announcements from the couple themselves.
