Meghan Markle lost weight after marrying Prince Harry.

In his bio, Prince Harry reveals how a doctor's advice helped Meghan conceive Archie.

Montecito – Today, Prince Harry (38) and Meghan Markle (41) are the happy parents of Archie (3) and Lilibet (1), but the journey there was not easy, as Harry reveals in his biography "Reserve" ("Spare") .

Children have always been her top priority, Prince Harry said.

Therefore, after the wedding on May 19, 2018, he and Meghan saw no reason to wait any longer to plan children.

"Lost a lot of weight": Prince Harry was worried about Meghan's weight loss

"We didn't want to wait.

We both wanted to start a family straight away," Prince Harry said in his memoir, which was published on January 10.

However, Meghan's life and him were quite stressful at that time.

"We worked like crazy, our jobs were demanding, the timing wasn't ideal, but who cares!" Nevertheless, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were worried that the stress could prevent pregnancy – especially as Meghan was getting thinner.

"Meghan took the toll, she had lost a lot of weight over the past year despite all the shepherd's pies," Prince Harry said in his biography Reserve.

Although Meghan claimed that she was eating more than ever, "yet her weight continued to drop."

The royal couple finally got help from an Ayurveda doctor who was recommended to them by friends.

"It confirmed our suspicion that Meg's weight loss could be a barrier to conception,"

Harry recalls.

The doctor's advice?

Gain two kilos and you will get pregnant, the doctor promised.

After Meghan gained weight: Pregnancy test was positive

Meghan Markle took the advice to heart, so that the couple could soon do a pregnancy test.

"We bought two pregnancy tests, one as a backup, and she took both of them to the bathroom at Nott Cott [Nottingham Cottage]," Prince Harry recalled.

While Meghan was doing the test, he fell asleep on the bed, but Meghan woke him up and put the pregnancy tests on the bedside table.

"I only kept a few things there, including the blue box with my mother's hair," Harry said.

Apparently a good omen because when Prince Harry checked, both tests came back positive.

"We hugged, kissed.

I put the tests back on the bedside table.

I thought: Thanks, Mummy," Prince Harry describes the emotional situation.

How important his wife Meghan and his deceased mother Diana (36, † 1997) are for Prince Harry can also be seen from the name that occurs most often in Harry's biography: a specific name is mentioned 435 times in "Reserve".
