They are about to become parents for the first time, but it seems baby number two is already on Prince Harry's mind.
The Duke of Sussex was overheard joking about having a second child as he and Meghan chatted to guests at a reception in honour of his father at Buckingham Palace today.
Falklands veteran Simon Weston, 57, who suffered severe burns and has since become known for his charity work, spoke at length to the couple about their baby plans.
He said: 'We also joked about Wales defeating England in the Six Nations rugby. I also warned him and the duchess it serves him right as they will be getting plenty of sleepless nights when the baby is born.
'He said if they have any more than two it will serve him right,' Simon added.

Speaking at Buckingham Palace today, Mr. Weston, President of charity DEBRA, said he and the duke talked about wound healing and a new laser treatment to deal with scar tissue.
He added, 'It was wonderful to be invited to these celebrations to mark 50 years since the Prince of Wales' investiture.
'I was seven years old at the time so I've got a lot to thank him for - such as the day off school and the jelly and ice-cream at the street party. I watched it at my grandmother's house in our village called Nelson.'

Pick pastels like the Duchess of Cambridge in Alexander McQueen
Attending an event at Buckingham Palace today, the Duchess of Cambridge exuded elegance in a pastel midi dress by Alexander McQueen.
We love the floaty chiffon fabric that looked incredibly sophisticated, plus the pretty lace high-neck. The elongated cuffs are a design detail we've spotted on several other of Kate's McQueen outfits, along with the covered fabric buttons. Fans of Kate's style may have noted it looks very similar to the Beulah midi she wore a few years back!
The stylish royal accessorized with nude pumps and a clutch that was also by Alexander McQueen for the perfect finishing touches.
As Kate's dress is a bespoke piece, it's not available to buy. However, if you're as enthralled with the fresh mint shade of her dress as we are, we're sure you'll want to check out the line-up of doppelganger designs we've picked out for you below.
Self-Portrait, Burberry, GAP and H&M all have some similar styles that are perfect for giving a nod to Kate's look.

These include The Prince’s Trust Cymru, Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and the BBC National Orchestra & Chorus of Wales.
