Prince Harry has gushed about his nephew Prince George and niece Princess Charlotte.

The 32-year-old royal is the fifth in line to the throne following the arrival of his brother Prince William's two children, but he is not fazed by that as he has hailed his younger relatives as the "most amazing things ever" and wouldn't not want them in his life.

Speaking about the 35-year-old royal's three-year-old son and two-year-old daughter - who William has with his wife Duchess Catherine - to the Mail on Sunday, he said: "The reason I am now fifth (in line) is because of my nephew and niece and I could never wish them away.

"They are the most amazing things ever."

And Harry, who is currently dating actress Meghan Markle, can't stop talking about starting a family of his own with the 'Suits' actress.

A source close to the couple, previously said: "Having a baby with Meghan is all that Harry talks about at the moment - he can't wait to be a dad."

And although things are going from strength to strength between the pair, Harry is cautious about popping the question and proposing to Meghan too quickly, after watching his own parents go through divorce.

Another insider said: "Coming from divorced parents himself, Harry is adamant that when he marries, he will marry forever - plus, of course, there's his status to consider.

"Harry is very conscious of his position in the royal family, he takes his duties very seriously, and he has no desire to cause any type of scandal, so he's not going to rush into anything - they haven't even been dating for a full year yet!"
