The Duke of Sussex may have only recently become a father for the first time, following the arrival of baby Archie, but while he is enjoying every second of parenthood, he has already made up his mind about how many children he wants. 

In an interview with conservationist Dr Jane Goodall, which is set to be published in Meghan Markle's much-anticipated guest-edited September issue of British Vogue, Prince Harry revealed he only wants two children.

During the interview, the royal and world-famous primatologist discussed the environment, climate change and preserving the plant for the generations to come.

Which, ultimately lead the conversation to fatherhood with the 34-year-old royal admitting becoming a father to his three-month-old son has made him "see the world differently" and he now only wants a "maximum" of two kids in order to help protect the environment.

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."

"It is terrifying. Especially as you've just had a baby," Goodall told Harry.

"I view it differently now, without question," Harry said. "But I've always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children …"

"Not too many!" Goodall cut in with a laugh.

"Two, maximum!" Harry continued.

"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."

"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?"
