Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are all set to wed on May 19, have been seen on quite a number of joint public engagements over the last few months. But when they stepped out together on International Women's Day, something unique and touching happened.
The couple visited Birmingham, where they attended an event hosted by Stemettes to support women and girls pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Their goal was to interact with and encourage the women who aspire to make their mark in these STEM-related fields.
Queen Elizabeth isn't the only member of the royal family who has binged The Crown on Netflix. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have also seen the show, according to royal expert Katie Nicholl.
In her new book, Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, Nicholl describes Harry and Meghan's very normal date nights in, which include eating homemade dinners and binging Netflix shows. So, you know, if you change "homemade dinners" to "Postmates," Harry and Meghan basically have the same life as the rest of us...right?
Per royal expert Katie Nicholl, Harry is very "keen" to have children: "My sources are saying that Prince Harry, particularly, is very keen to start a family, pretty soon after the royal wedding," she tells ET. "He's made no secret about wanting children."
Harry's biological man clock apparently went into overdrive when Prince William and Kate Middleton started getting pregnant: "I think that moment [for Harry] really kicked in when his brother, Prince William, of course, settled down with Kate Middleton," Nicholl says. "That has definitely gotten Prince Harry pretty broody."
Meghan has already formed a close relationship with George and Charlotte, and apparently their bond was a big moment for Harry. "The reason he wanted Meghan to meet Prince George and Princess Charlotte was so she could see that—this would be hopefully replicated by them, that they would go on to have children," Nicholl explains.
"That you marry into the royal family, but that doesn't mean you can't have a regular family with cute children, and here are George and Charlotte to show that that can happen. That was really important to him."
Ship has reportedly seen four royal wedding invitations with his own two eyes, and of those, two are extended to only one half of a couple. He has detailed these invitations, which are to the ceremony and afternoon reception, but not the smaller evening reception, on Twitter, saying "Unlike most other weddings, Harry and Meghan are inviting only one half of couples. Seen an invite for a husband but not his wife. Sounds a bit tight, but I’m sure they’d claim space in limited in St George’s Chapel... #RoyalWedding "
He also describes an invitation as "for a Mrs. without her Mr." In the small sampling, Ship saw also saw two cards that do invite both members of a couple, one to a Mr. and Mrs. and another to a Lord and Lady.
Prince Harry is set to meet the three British team members taking part in the trek, and make a formal speech in London on 11 April to officially launch the event.
The voyage, called "Walking With The Wounded" was set up by the British Armed Forces charity but the focus on the US marks a shift for the Royal Family ahead of Harry's wedding to American Meghan.
A dedicated team of six veterans from the US and the UK will be trekking a gruelling journey of 1,000 miles from the west to the east coast of America in 14 weeks.
