During a recent joint interview with BBC [1], Prince Harry opened up about starting a family with his fiancée, Meghan Markle [2], after proposing to the Suits star [3] back in November. When asked by reporter Mishal Husain about whether he and Meghan are planning on having kids anytime soon, Harry replied, "Not yet, no, but I think eventually, one step at a time, and we'll start a family in the near future."

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time Harry has expressed his desire to become a father. Back in April, he told The Telegraph that he "would love to have kids. [4]" Family life has also been on Meghan's mind for quite some time now. In May 2016, Meghan told Best Health magazine that she couldn't "wait to start a family [5]." The 36-year-old reiterated her sentiments just a few months later, telling Lifestyle magazine she dreamed of being a mum. "It's all about balance," she stated [6]. "I have so much happiness in my career and am fortunate to travel the world and see so many amazing things — it will also be nice to be anchored to something grounded and in the same place. Raising a family will be a wonderful part of that."

When we think about all of the times Harry was out-of-control cute with kids [7] and Meghan's humanitarian work with young girls [8], we can't help but believe these two will make wonderful, loving parents whenever "the near future" arrives.
