Prince Harry has reportedly given up one major thing for Meghan Markle

Prince Harry has made an important decision for the couple ahead of starting a family together which they revealed they plan to do ‘in the near future’.

Meghan Markle has had to make quite a few sacrifices to be with Prince Harry, but now it has emerged that Harry has also given up something major ahead of his marriage to Meghan too.

In order for Meghan Markle to join the Royal Family, she has sacrificed her acting career, given up her home in Toronto to move to the UK, and even made the incredibly difficult decision to leave one of her beloved pets behind in Canada, as he was too old to make the trip overseas.

However, Prince Harry too has had to make some changes in order to accommodate for his wife-to-be, and one of the most important of those is said to be his decision to give up smoking for good.

Prince Harry has been pictured throughout the years enjoying a cigarette every now and again, but his fiancée Meghan is a strict non-smoker and fitness lover, so it has been reported that the prince has pledged to kick his habit for her.

The Mail on Sunday wrote that Prince Harry had 'promised' Meghan he will quit smoking, a important step for the couple ahead of starting a family together - which they revealed last month they plan to do 'in the near future'. 'Harry has promised no smoking at all at home. It's not nice for Meghan as a non-smoker,' a source told the paper. 'So there's no more hanging out of the window for a quick puff. Harry has quit for Meghan.'

Prince Harry's pledge to quite smoking for Meghan will surely be a welcome promise for the his family too, with the Queen having never been a smoker and his neighbours – brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate never having smoked themselves either.

Prince Harry currently has plenty to keep him busy, what with his hectic schedule of official engagements, and planning his wedding to Meghan, which the Palace has confirmed will take place in May 2018.
