Back in 2019, the Duke of Sussex told primatologist Jane Goodall that he and the Duchess would stop at two children.
He spoke to the conservationist in a Q&A for Vogue September 2019 edition, guest-edited by his wife.
In the heart-to-heart chat, the 34-year-old new dad said he only wanted two kids in a bid to help save the planet.
He said: “I think, weirdly, because of the people that I’ve met and the places that I’ve been fortunate enough to go to, I’ve always had a connection and a love for nature. I view it differently now, without question.
“I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children…”
It was here that Dr Goodall jumped in – saying she hoped the parents would have “not too many” kids.
And Prince Harry replied: “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 couple announced the pregnancy on Valentine’s Day.
“We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother,” a spokesman for the couple said.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are delighted and wish them well.”
The pregnancy photo was taken by the couple’s longtime friend and photographer Misan Harriman.
The wonderful news comes just months after Meghan revealed her “unbearable grief” after suffering a miscarriage in July.
The Duchess of Sussex, 39, wrote of the moment she knew she was “losing” her second baby in a deeply personal essay for the New York Times.
Harry and Meghan’s new tot will add to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s ever growing family – being the monarch’s tenth great-grandchild.
And he or she will be Prince Charles fifth grandchild, joining Archie and Prince William’s children with George, Charlotte and Louis.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new baby will be eighth in line to the throne.
In other royal news, this is the touching nod to Princess Diana that Meghan and Harry made with their announcement.
And we told you how the new baby won’t have a royal title unless the queen steps in.
