FAMILY IS PRIORITY

A source close to the Royals told the news outlet in this week's issue,

"Their family is their number one priority."

The baby number two news first made the rounds after the parents-of-one surprised their neighbors at a community center in Windsor, where families of servicemen gathered for morning coffee.

PRINCE HARRY GOT ENCOURAGED TO HAVE MORE BABIES

The gathering had women, children, and relatives of those in the military forces, and the discussion centered around children, as Prince Harry wanted to know if the family dynamics change when two children are involved.
