Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are, allegedly, expecting their third child.
In its Dec. 27 issue, New Idea claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thought long and hard if now is the right time for them to expand their family. At first, the couple thought that they only wanted to have two kids, but it didn’t take them very long to realize that having three children is what’s best for them.
A source claimed that Prince Harry and Markle eventually agreed to have another baby. And they couldn’t be more thrilled to share the news with their kids, Archie and Lilibet.
“Harry and Meghan have done a lot of soul-searching about this. 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,” the source said.
The insider also claimed to know intimate details about Prince Harry and Markle’s baby-making plans, which won’t be done the natural way. They said that Markle will go through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) after Lilibet turns 1 in June.
“Of course, it’ll be slightly awkward, but they’ve learned over the past couple of years that they can pretty much say whatever they want and get away with it because the news cycle moves so fast. All they have to do is break the news of a third pregnancy, and then have another controversial news story to drop a week later and watch everyone move on,” the source said.
With this, the insider added that Prince Harry and Markle couldn’t be more excited to add another bundle of joy to their family. After all, the couple enjoys being parents to Archie and Lilibet.
In fact, Markle and Prince Harry love watching their two children play with each other. And Archie and Lilibet’s close bond was what convinced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to have a third child.
However, it doesn’t seem likely for a tabloid to be the first one to know about Prince Harry and Markle’s baby plans when the couple has not opened up about it yet.
Prince Harry also said that he and his wife will stop at two children, and there’s no indication that their plans changed in recent months.
And if Markle and Prince Harry want to get pregnant, it’s more likely for them to try and conceive naturally before they resort to IVF.
