The pair’s newborn daughter Lilibet arrived in May and their son Archie was born in 2019. UK charity Population Matters, which campaigns to have a sustainable population, says the couple is being recognised as “a role model for other families” for their decision to have just two children.
“In choosing and publicly declaring their intention to limit their family to two, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are helping to ensure a better future for their children and providing a role model for other families,” a spokesperson says.
“Having a smaller family reduces our impact on the Earth, and provides a better chance for all our children, their children and future generations to flourish on a healthy planet. We commend the Duke and Duchess for taking this enlightened decision, and for affirming that a smaller family is also a happy family.”
