Royal fans caught on to the fact that the pair acted so naturally around the children at the event.

Harry and Meghan revealed shortly after they got engaged that they planned to start a family in the future. In an interview with BBC at the time, the prince was asked about his plans of having children with Meghan. “Not currently, no,” he said. “No, of course, you know, I think one step at a time, and hopefully we’ll start a family in the near future.”
