Will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a third child?

Since stepping back from royal duties and settling in California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have focused on building their own path—Archewell Productions, philanthropic work, and raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet. But as their family finds its rhythm in Montecito, rumors swirl about whether the couple will add a third child to their brood. Fans speculate often, especially after Harry’s 2023 memoir Spare hinted at his desire for a big family, saying he always imagined having “two kids, maximum three.”

Meghan, now in her early 40s, hasn’t publicly ruled out more children. In a 2022 interview, she playfully dodged the question, saying, “Two is a lot… but who knows?” However, sources close to the couple suggest they’re content with their current dynamic. Between parenting, business ventures, and ongoing tensions with the royal family, a third child could complicate their already busy lives.

Health considerations may also play a role. Meghan revealed in her New York Times essay that she suffered a miscarriage in 2020, an experience that deeply affected both her and Harry. While fertility isn’t necessarily a barrier, the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy later in life could factor into their decision.

Then there’s the question of royal ties. Though Harry and Meghan are independent, another child would mean another potential heir—or at least another distant branch—in the Windsor family tree. Would the King acknowledge a third grandchild as readily as the first two? The optics alone could reignite tensions with Buckingham Palace.
