Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have devoted their lives to raising their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The couple welcomed their firstborn child while still members of the Royal Family, but when Lilibet arrived, they had been out of the Firm for a little more than a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Archie and Lilibet probably don\u2019t know much about their parents\u2019 rift with the royals and will most likely not have a clue about it for years. Unfortunately, this could negatively affect them in the future as their relationship with their royal cousins and other family members is non-existent.<\/p>\n

Prince William and Kate Middleton have three children, and Harry and Meghan possibly would as well if it wasn\u2019t for a tragic miscarriage. Archie and Lilibet are growing up fast, but is it possible that the Sussexes will have a third child? Let\u2019s find out what Harry and Meghan have said about it.<\/p>\n

Prince\u00a0Harry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Meghan Markle<\/a>\u00a0left the royal family to live a more private life in the US, pursuing a different life than the one behind the palace walls. For one thing, the couple wanted a different future for their son\u00a0Archie<\/a>\u00a0and, later, daughter\u00a0Lilibet<\/a>, who was born in the US.<\/p>\n

Already when Archie was born, there were signs that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn\u2019t want to do things like the rest of the Royal Family was used to. Before Archie\u2019s birth, the couple had moved to Frogmore Cottage at Windsor, and Meghan\u2019s mother had flown in from the US to stay with them.<\/p>\n

On May 6, 2019, Harry and Meghan\u2019s son Archie was born at The Portland Hospital in London. As with the birth of any royal child, it was a monumental occasion \u2013 but Harry and Meghan decided to approach things differently.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle\u2019s children, Archie & Lilibet<\/h2>\n

In her book\u00a0The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth\u2019s Legacy and the Future of the Crown<\/em>, Nicholl described Harry as \u201calmost morbidly obsessed\u201d with keeping Archie\u2019s birth as secret as possible.<\/p>\n

However, as millions of royal fans and most of the public sought information about the little boy, the longing for secrecy was ignored as it was part of the \u201cunwritten contract between the royals and the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBehind the scenes, matters were so fraught that more than one official \u2014 as I know from personal experience \u2014 was reduced to tears of frustration and despair,\u201d Rebecca English, royal editor of the Daily Mail, added.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan didn\u2019t want any of the fuss that, for example,\u00a0Prince William<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kate Middleton<\/a>\u00a0went through when they welcomed a child. It\u2019s custom for senior members of the Royal Family to pose for a picture for the press outside of the hospital with the newborn child, but that was something the Sussexes had a plan to avoid.<\/p>\n

Prince William, Harry, and William\u2019s children were all born at St Mary\u2019s Hospital; thus, the traditional first baby photos were taken there. However, Meghan\u2019s doctor worked at Portland Hospital, so it made sense to give birth there. Also, the Sussexes were told the place would make photos impossible due to safety considerations around the entrance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarry had always enjoyed outfoxing the media,\u201d royal author Katie Nicholl wrote in\u00a0The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth\u2019s Legacy and the Future of the Crown<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe and Meghan were thrilled to be safely delivered of their son in London\u2019s private Portland hospital even before the palace press office had confirmed the duchess was in labor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Harry ate chicken while Meghan was in labor<\/h2>\n

Although Harry and Meghan wanted to keep as many things as possible private about Archie\u2019s birth, the Duke decided to share some details into the day their first son was born. In\u00a0Spare<\/em>, Harry described the extraordinary scene at the Portland Hospital where he decided to get high on laughing gas to calm himself down.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I saw two ways of enhancing my calm. One: Nando\u2019s chicken (brought by our bodyguards). Two: A canister of laughing gas beside Meg\u2019s bed. I took several slow, penetrating hits,\u201d Harry wrote in his tell-all book.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeg was so calm. I was calm too,\u201d he added: \u201cMeg, bouncing on a giant purple ball, a proven way of giving nature a push, laughed and rolled her eyes. I took several more hits, and now I was bouncing too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry then explained that a nurse tried giving his wife the gas for the pain, but he had already consumed it all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see the thought slowly dawning. Gracious, the husband\u2019s had it all. \u2018Sorry,\u201d I said meekly.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Eventually, doctors decided to give Meghan an epidural to ease the pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe anesthetist hurried in. Off went the music, on went the lights. Whoa. Vibe change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though there was an initial worry that Archie had been tangled up in his umbilical cord, he emerged unharmed \u2013 reducing both Harry and Meghan to tears.<\/p>\n

Princess Lilibet\u2019s name sparked controversy<\/h2>\n

Prince Archie was less than a year old when his parents decided to leave the Royal Family for good and left for North America. After settling in Montecito, California, their family grew.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, June 6, 2021, Harry and Meghan announced their daughter had arrived. Although her birth overjoyed many, it also led to some controversy.<\/p>\n

She was named Lilibet after the nickname bestowed upon her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The late monarch had called herself Lilibet as a toddler since she had trouble pronouncing her name.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven naming this child sparked a diplomatic scuffle. Hating even to think about the admittedly labyrinthine rules of protocol that surrounded the British royal family, Meghan, and Harry called her Lilibet, apparently in the belief that it would be a wonderful surprise for her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth,\u201d royal expert Tom Quinn wrote in his book\u00a0Gilded Youth An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Meghan suffered from a miscarriage before Lilibet pregnancy<\/h2>\n

\u201cThat Harry did not have the sense to predict that this would cause trouble is beyond belief. He surely would have known that appropriating the monarch\u2019s beloved childhood nickname would be perceived by many as disrespectful and intrusive in a way that naming their daughter Elizabeth would have not been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have, like any parent worldwide, been overjoyed about the arrival of their children. However, the time up to Lilibet\u2019s birth had beside happiness also been filled with grief.<\/p>\n

Around a year before Lilibet\u2019s birth, Harry and Meghan had gone through a traumatic experience. In 2020, Meghan fell pregnant again, though tragically lost the baby.<\/p>\n

Four months later, in a personal article, Meghan revealed how she had felt a sharp pain and was admitted to the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cHours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband\u2019s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we\u2019d heal. Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief,\u201d Meghan wrote.<\/p>\n

Now, years on, the scars remain. A source told\u00a0OK! Magazine<\/a>\u00a0that Meghan is naturally feeling sadness during that time of the year when the anniversary of her miscarriage approaches.<\/p>\n

However, love conquers all, and her family brings her immense joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe feels so blessed to have Archie and Lili and the family she and Harry have created. But naturally, as the anniversary of her miscarriage approaches, she does have sadness. The date is very poignant for her,\u201d the source told OK!.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle is \u201csad\u201d that her children are growing up<\/h2>\n

In recent months, The Duchess has had more time to focus on her work, not least her lifestyle brand,\u00a0American Riviera Orchard.<\/em>\u00a0The source tells OK! Magazine that Meghan considers it crucial to show her children that \u201cmummies work as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut her family life will always come first, she will fit work in around the children\u2019s schedules so she is there for them when they need her and she just wants to make the most of and cherish every moment with them as they grow up,\u201d the source explained.<\/p>\n

After their royal exit, Harry and Meghan have embarked on several business ventures. Not all of them have succeeded, but earlier this year, they took on a \u201croyal\u201d mission.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria on a three-day tour in May to promote the Invictus Games. While they enjoyed their trip, two people were missing. Archie and Lilibet stayed in the US, though reports suggest that the children could join their parents on future journeys abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan doesn\u2019t like being away from her children as she doesn\u2019t want to miss a thing with them growing up so fast,\u201d a source told\u00a0OK!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Lili turning three, it\u2019s really got Meghan and Harry thinking about their future and how quickly the children are growing up. Meghan especially feels that her babies are no longer babies, and like most mums, it makes her slightly sad and wistful that the baby years have come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will Prince Harry & Meghan Markle have a third child?<\/h2>\n

So, Meghan Markle is sad that her children are growing up, but perhaps the couple has thought about getting a third child? It\u2019s been three years since Lilibet was born, and some have wondered whether Harry and Meghan will follow Prince William and Kate Middleton in having three children. Will it happen? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have a rather firm opinion about it.<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, when Archie was just one year old, Prince Harry was interviewed in Vogue Magazine about using one technique to help the environment, which some might find controversial. Harry stated he simply feels that there should be a limit on the number of children one can have.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, weirdly, because of the people that I\u2019ve met and the places that I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to go to, I\u2019ve always had a connection and a love for nature. I view it differently now, without question. But I\u2019ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children..,\u201d Harry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat more can you ask for?\u201d<\/h2>\n

The interviewer, Dr Jane Goodall, replied, \u201cNot too many!\u201d and laughed. Harry continued, \u201cTwo, maximum! But I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle spoke about how many children she would like in the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, which was the first time the Sussexes spoke out about their negative experiences while still members of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I\u2019m] just grateful to have any child. Any, one or two, would have been amazing but to have a boy and then a girl what more can you ask for? Now we\u2019ve got our family, we got the four of us and our two dogs,\u201d Meghan told Oprah.<\/p>\n

Harry added that they were \u201cdone\u201d with two children, to which Meghan replied, \u201cTwo is it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear very firm about their decision to stop having children. But who knows, a new prince or princess will be born in Montecito in the future.<\/p>\n
