Prince Harry and Meghan are using the environment as an ‘excuse’ to have just two children, the UK’s biggest family have said.
The Duke and Duchess revealed this week they would only be having ‘two [children], maximum’ due to the dwindling resources of the planet.
But Sue and Noel Radford, whose 21 children range from 30 years old to just eight months, claim the Royals are not as environmentally conscious as they seem.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, dad Noel said: ‘Not everyone wants a big family like us, but I think if he’s using the excuse of the planet.
‘He’s flying around in private jets, he’s got his big entourage following him everywhere and his big luxury home that he’s heated.’
Sue and Noel welcomed their first child, Chris, in 1989, while they were both 13 and 18 respectively.
Since then they have gone on to expand their brood, welcoming Sophie, 25; Chloe, 23; Jack, 22; Daniel, 20; Luke, 18; Millie, 17; Katie, 16; James, 15; Ellie, 14; Aimee, 13; Josh, 12; Max, 11; Tillie, nine; Oscar, seven; Casper, six; Hallie, four; Phoebe, three; Archie, 18 months and Bonnie, their youngest, eight months.

Alfie, the couple’s 17th child, was still born on July 6th 2014.
The family live in a 10-bedroom house, formerly a care home, in Morecambe, Lancashire, and say they get through a whopping 16 pints of milk a day.
Feeding their children requires 23 loaves of bread a week, while they also put on two daily spins in their 18kg washing machine, which is almost three times the size of an average appliance.
Noel also added that he thought Harry and Meghan would be ‘missing out’ by choosing to have a small family.
He continued: ‘They’re missing out on all the fun, the laughter, the playing all the time. Just things like that.’

Harry told environmental activist Dr Jane Goodall that he and Meghan were planning on having two children during an interview in Vogue published this month.
The couple are already parents to Archie Harrison, born on May 6 earlier this year.
During their conversation, Dr Goodall asked the Duke of Sussex if having a baby had changed his view of the world.
The scientist is well-known for arguing that population control is essential in the fight against climate change.
Harry responded: ‘It does make it different. I think, weirdly, because of the people that I’ve met and the places that I’ve been fortunate enough to go to, I’ve always had a connection and a love for nature. I view it differently now, without question.’
The prince went on to discuss having children, to which Dr Goodall laughed and responded ‘not too many!’
Harry echoed her statements, continuing: ‘Two, maximum! But I’ve always thought: this place is borrowed.
‘Surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation.’
