Prince Harry Says He and Meghan Markle Are Having “Two Children, Maximum”
In British Vogue’s September 2019 issue, Prince Harry reveals that he and Meghan Markle want “two kids, maximum.”
I refuse to believe this because (1) I am selfish and (2) I want more Sussex babies.
Have you read the snippets from the recent issue of British Vogue yet? Well, you probably should because there are TONS (yes, tons!) of interesting nuggets in there. The issue, guest-edited by Meghan Markle—aka the people’s duchess—features a variety of wonderful topics, from Meghan asking Michelle Obama what her favorite sound is to Prince Harry talking about racism and how many kids he plans on having with Meghan. You know, the important questions.
In the issue, Harry wrote an introduction where he openly discussed how racism can cause people to develop an unconscious bias—a fitting topic considering Meghan is a woman of color and the media consistently demonizes her every move. Harry also talked with primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall about the environment and how that makes him nervous for his child! (Awww.)

“Despite the fact that if you go up to someone and say ‘What you’ve just said, or the way you’ve behaved, is racist’—they’ll turn around and say, ‘I’m not a racist,’” Harry said of racially biased people. “‘I’m not saying you’re a racist, I’m just saying that your unconscious bias is proving that because of the way that you’ve been brought up, the environment you’ve been brought up in, suggests that you have this point of view—unconscious point of view—where naturally you will look at someone in a different way.’ And that is the point at which people start to have to understand.”
Later on in his feature, Harry spoke with Dr. Goodall about climate change, and the topic you’ve all been waiting for comes up—babies!!! “What we need to remind everybody is: These are things that are happening now. We are already living in it,” Harry said. “We are the frog in the water and it’s already been brought to the boil. Which is terrifying.”
Dr. Goodall replied, “Happening and happened. It is terrifying. Especially as you’ve just had a baby.”
“I know,” Harry replied with a laugh. “It does make it different. I think, weirdly because of the people that I’ve met and the places I’ve been fortunate enough to go, 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…”
“Not too many!” Dr. Goodall cut in.
“Two, maximum!” Harry said. “But I’ve always thought: This place is borrowed. And surely, 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.”
There you have it! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are only going to have one more kid, maximum—allegedly. In the meantime, I will be anxiously awaiting the arrival for Baby Sussex #2 and taking Harry’s declaration with a heavy grain of salt. Ciao for now!
