Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would love to have kids one day and during his recent royal visit to Dublin, the Duke of Sussex hinted at how many kids would be "too many" for the pair. While talking to some of the people who were present in the crowd, Harry stopped to talk to Elaine Adam-Stewart. “My husband also has red hair and he gave me five children — when are you and Meghan going to get going?” she asked Harry, as reported by People. While Harry did not talk about their plans on having children, he did add that five kids might be too many.  “He laughed and said ‘five children? — too many," she recalled.

Earlier in the day, Harry and Meghan shared some adorable candid moments with children who were gathered at Croke Park. Wearing a chic suit, the Duchess of Sussex let her hair down and one excited toddler seemed to be quite taken by her hair. While interacting with the crowd at the park, 3-year-old Walter Kieran could not resist touching Meghan's hair and playfully started pulling them. 

He also started touching Meghan's face and the Duchess of Sussex seemed only too happy to go along with the child's playfulness. The two smiled as Meghan held his hand. However, it looked like the Duke of Sussex was up for some fun of his own as he gave the toddler a mock scolding by wagging his finger at him. This wasn't the only time when Harry and Meghan shared a cute moment with the kids.

During their meeting,  Harry let a 4-year-old, Dylan Mahon tug at his red beard. The young lad reached for the royal’s facial hair and Harry let him have a go at it. Meanwhile, Meghan stood behind and stifled a laugh. Harry then told him, “You might have a beard soon — you never know!” 

The royal couple is sending us so many hints about how good they are with children. The two have often spoken about starting a family one day. "Of course,” Harry said during a BBC interview just after getting engaged. “You know, one step at a time. Hopefully,  we’ll start a family in the near future.” Meghan has also echoed a similar thought when the couple had a visit to Northern Ireland in March.
