SincePrince Harry andMeghan murder I got married, there was endless speculation if and when the couple will have children. Harry made no secrets to want to be a father and said several times that he "would like to have children".

In 2016, even before he even met Meghan, Harry saidPeople, "There have been moments through life, especially when we're doing a tour abroad, when I think," I'd like to have children now. "
Given Meghan will be 37 next month, the couple plans to start a family - now or in the future - could involve doing something that no other royal has done before: international adoption.

Harry promised to "spend the rest of my life ... try to make a difference" and Meghan repeated several times that she "has always had a really strong sense of responsibility." Their affinity for children wherever they traveled together were a brand of their joint appearances.

By law, the act of settlement indicates that succession to the throne is a blood descendant only. He is highly improbableHarry will never king, as he fell to sixth online, after the birth ofPrince Louis.
"There is no doubt that Harry has no freedom than William, who will become king," said my source. "That it extends to the adoption of a child is an issue that has not yet been launched."
For the clues on which country the couple can choose to adopt, it is not the realm of the possibility of thinking that Meghan and Harry are turning to Africa because of the special meaning she holds for them. They traveled several times on the continent together and Harry designed the commitment of Meghan with a diamond from Botswana.
