A royal insider added that the Duke and Duchess "both can’t wait to start a family," but it wouldn't be a surprise if they wait it out to have kids, since their lives are a little crazy post-royal wedding.
"Harry and Meghan won’t rush into anything. They have a lot on their plate right now," the insider told the weekly. "But they both think that when the moment feels right, that will be the time to go for it. They’ll make fantastic parents."

The Duchess of Sussex dropped a hint about having kids with her husband during a royal engagement in March. Gesturing to a table of baby products, she said, "I’m sure at some point we’ll need the whole thing," while Harry smiled beside her.
The couple was already hinting at having children in their post-engagement interview in November. "Of course," Harry said when asked if they wanted kids. "You know, one step at a time. Hopefully we'll start a family in the near future." Markle nodded in agreement.
