Prince Harry ‘in dangerous territory’ after baby revelation

He shouldn't have said that - by Chadielle Fayad
  • 01 Aug 2019

Prince Harry has put himself in "dangerous territory" after accidentally discussing how many children he and Meghan Markle were "hoping" to have.

The Duke of Sussex opened up about their plans in an interview with Jane Goodall for Meghan's Vogue Magazine edit, and royal experts believe this was a huge mistake.

Just months after the royal couple welcomed baby Archie Harrison, Prince Harry has revealed that he was "hoping" to have "two children, maximum," with his wife, Meghan.

Sky News presenter Jayne Secker says the line put him in "dangerous territory."

"I think it’s dangerous territory stating how many children you are going to have I think for lots of reasons," she said, adding "For one - you hope they can have more children, lots of people can’t, you just don’t know."

The royal expert believes the comment was shortsighted on the Prince's behalf, and that he hadn't factored in the likelihood of changing his mind.

"You just don’t know how you are going to feel until you have had a couple of children. They might decide they want a third, and then where are you?" Secker pointed out.

Prince Harry's passion for environmentalism means that he only wants "two children, maximum," in an effort to limit his family's carbon footprint.

In his interview for Meghan's September Vogue edit, Jane Goodall cautioned Harry to not have "too many babies" out of concern for the worldwide population growth.

The Duke of Sussex replied: "Two, maximum!"

The 34-year-old had much to say about his social consciousness when it came to the environment.

"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," the father of one said.

The Sussex family have been committed to raising awareness for the environment this month.

The Duke and Duchess attended the Lion King Premiere in London, to support Protect The Pride, a global conservation campaign to support efforts protecting the rapidly diminishing lion population across Africa.

The Sussex royal Instagram account shared a post of the royal couple at the event, writing in the caption, "The Duke and Duchess are committed to advancing conservation efforts across Africa and around the world, and working with communities to ensure a sustainable future for the planet."
