A spokesman said: “In choosing and publicly declaring their intention to limit their family to two, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are helping to ensure a better future for their children and providing a role model for other families. Having a smaller family reduces our impact on the Earth, and provides a better chance for all our children, their children and future generations to flourish on a healthy planet.”
“We commend the Duke and Duchess for taking this enlightened decision, and for affirming that a smaller family is also a happy family.”
Back in 2019 Prince Harry told Dr. Jane Goodall in an interview with Vogue Magazine that he and Meghan were looking to cap the number of children they were going to have to two.
He said at the time, “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. But I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children.”
Dr. Goddall then said, “Not too many,” to which Harry replied with, “Two, maximum.”
So far Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not made any comments about their future family plans.
