The one thing Prince Harry has given up for his pregnant wife

Prince Harry has given up his love of alcohol by not consuming the beverage for the last three months, all to support his wife, the Duchess of Sussex.

The royal, who was known for his wild antics and his partying ways, reportedly stopped drinking alcohol the moment he discovered Meghan was pregnant.

Speaking to The Sun, a royal insider claimed, “Meghan obviously cannot drink during her pregnancy and Harry wants to be there to support here.

“When they are in London, they have been spending more nights in together as he cannot go out drinking with friends like he used to.”

The last time the famous couple were spotted drinking was in July, at an event in Dublin where they shared a glass of champagne together. The Duke and Duchess also caused a few whispers when they chose to skip Princess Eugenie’s wedding reception, an occasion where the alcohol was being served by the dozen.

Taking to social media on Monday, Kensington Palace made the official announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child together, with the baby news causing a frenzy worldwide.

The post, which was shared via Twitter and Instagram, shows a photo of the happy couple and was released a few short hours after the pair landed in Sydney for their two-week tour and to host the Invictus Games.

In his younger days, Prince Harry was infamous for going rogue as he learnt to adjust to life in the spotlight. A tabloid regular, the young royal was often photographed stumbling drunk out of bars and night clubs.

In 2012, images of a naked Prince Harry were released to the public, after he was spotted at a Las Vegas hotel drinking heavily.

But it’s safe to say that his rowdy partying lifestyle is now behind him, as he prioritises his royal duties and his devotion to be a good husband and an even better father above anything else.

Meghan has previously spoken about her love for alcohol and a glass of wine, revealing in a 2015 interview, “It’s delicious and I enjoy it.”

Before adding, “Do the things you enjoy within reason. Know your body and what works for you and you’ll be fine.”

The Duchess also previously touched on her health and diet mantra in an interview with Best Health, where she admitted that she never wanted to feel “deprived” of the things she enjoys, because once you start placing restrictions on yourself, you start to “binge”.

Instead, she believes in balance as she encourages “lifestyle eating”, not dieting.
