In a surprisingly candid moment, Prince Harry has revealed that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, have a “maximum” number of kids in mind for their family, and it appears to be related to the impact a large family has on the limited resources and sustainability of the planet.

Overnight, British Vogue has published an interview from their September 2019 issue (an issue which was guest-edited by Meghan Markle) between Prince Harry and world-renowned primatologist Dr Jane Goodall, in which Prince Harry divulged the “maximum” number of kids they’d like to Goodall during their conversation about conservation and the environment.

“We are the one species on the planet that seems to think that this place belongs to us, and only us,” Prince Harry said in the interview to which Goodall responded, “It’s crazy to think we can have unlimited economic development on a planet with finite natural resources… There will be more conflicts, people fighting over the last fertile land, the last fresh water.” 

Prince Harry agreed saying the whole situation is “terrifying” which led Goodall to bring up how especially “terrifying” it must be for Prince Harry given he is now a father to Archie.

Once on the topic of Archie, Prince Harry spoke about his love of nature and with that environmental consideration in mind he said he and Meghan Markle are planning to have a maximum of two children. “Two, maximum! But I’ve always thought: this place is borrowed. And, surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation,” the duke said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex posted about Prince Harry’s interview with Goodall to their official Instagram account, @sussexroyal, but in the caption didn’t reference his comment on hoping to give Archie just one more sibling, at most.

Now that we know the couple are planning to become a family of four at some stage, we’ll be back on bump watch as soon as Markle officially returns from maternity leave, slated to be some time in October this year.
