Shortly after Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan welcomed their first child, Archie, in May 2019, the proud new dad publicly pledged that they wouldn’t be having a large family in a bid to save the environment.
“Two, maximum!” he pledged to conservationist Dr Jane Goodall during an interview for British Vogue.
In fact, Harry, 37, was so insistent in his views that some palace insiders took it as a possible dig at his brother and sister-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who had recently welcomed their third child and were said to be discussing a fourth.
But now, sources close to the Sussexes suggest the pair is experiencing a change of heart and are considering a third child after all. The new baby would join big brother Archie, 2, and sister Lilibet, almost 7 months.
“Harry and Meghan have done a lot of soul-searching about this,” says a source. “They feel they can contribute more positively to the world by raising smart, informed children who will go on to be the same into adulthood. They feel the positives of that outweigh the risks to the climate.”
