THE COUPLE'S TAKE ON PARENTHOOD
Prince Harry and Meghan have always made it known that they loved the idea of raising a family and bringing up children. For Harry, he has had a lot of practice being a godfather. Also, he is the type of father who wouldn't mind joining his son during video games but also knows when to be stern.
Meghan believes it is all about "balance." She once made it known that being a celebrity and a busy person at the same time, she gets to travel around the world and see "amazing things. But it was also nice to have a stable life and be "anchored to something grounded." To her, that includes raising a family.

Once speaking to the press members, the doting mom didn't hide her emotions as she gushed over her little one and let the public know that he had been "the dream!"

The source went ahead to add that Harry is passionate about giving their children a normal life "as much as possible." The insider relayed: They will still live a life of luxury, but that doesn't mean their children will be spoiled. They want their kids raised in a normal home…"
