Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will start a family 'as quickly as possible' claims former royal staff member
Former royal butler Paul Burrell predicts the couple will start a family as soon as they are married
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be wasting no time after their wedding in waiting to start a family according to a former member of the royal staff.
Paul Burrell, former royal butler and confidant to Princess Diana, has said in a recent interview that Prince Harry is keen to have a large family and doesn't want to wait around.
With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding just a few months away, the former royal insider believes that the happy couple are already planning their next big milestone too - having a baby.
Harry is set to become an uncle for the third time in April as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge prepare to give Prince George and Princess Charlotte another sibling.
But according to Paul Burrell, Kate and William's new baby, and Harry and William's cousin Zara Tindall's second child which is due later this year, won't be the only two royal babies making headlines this year. Speaking to Now To Love Paul said: 'I believe that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will start a family as soon as possible! Harry also wants a large family and wants children as quickly as possible.'
