At a royal party earlier this summer, Prince Harry was asked if he and his bride had plans to start his family any time soon.

According to The Sun, one female guest told the prince, “My husband also has red hair and he gave me five children – when are you and Meghan going to get going?” 

“Five children?” Harry replied. “Too many.”
