Prince Harry says he and his wife Meghan will have no more than two children because of concerns for the environment.
In an interview with British Vogue, Harry said becoming a father had changed his perspective.
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. But I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children.”
When asked “Not too many,” Harry said: “two, maximum!”
He added that he always saw the environment as something “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.”
He said destruction of the environment was “terrifying,” adding: “We are already living in it. We are the frog in the water and it’s already been brought to the boil.”
“It’s crazy to think that we can have unlimited economic development on a planet with finite natural resources,” he said.
“There’s a lot of violence and war and suffering around the world today, but we’re part of the natural world, and if we can’t learn to live in harmony with it, then this is going to get worse.”
“I always think to myself, whenever there’s another natural disaster, a huge increase in volcano eruptions or earthquakes or flooding, how many clues does nature have to give us before we actually learn, or wake ourselves up to the damage and the destruction that we’re causing?”
The amount of children you have should be based on how big you want you family to be and being able to provide a comfortable life for them. If you start worrying about other factors will you be truly happy
Definitely not having a go at anyone. We all make our own decisions for our own reasons that have nothing to do with others and don’t change our opinions of them.
I don’t about the situation in UK and some other countries. No doubt he has seen plenty of issues. Some countries, including Australia have water shortages and also a shortfall of food production because of it. They could also have personal reasons for not wanting to have another child.
He’s not having a dig, him wanting 2 kids is not a reflection on his brother. He is his own person. I’ve chosen to have only one child (for many reasons) and that is not a reflection (or dig) at my best friend who wants none or my brother who has 3.
why does everything have to be a dig at the his brother and sister in law? He has his own mind and can make a decision about he and his wife’s future without it being a dig at someone else
