Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘not seeing eye-to-eye on decision over their children’
They are parents to Archie, five, and Lilibet, threePrince Harry would likely want a “world where his children would never be recognised,” a royal commentator has said.
Harry, 40, and wife Meghan Markle have kept their kids away from the public eye as much as possible in recent years. They rarely share photos and, if they do, their son Archie and daughter Lilibet’s faces are often hidden or facing away from the camera.
But recently, the Duchess of Sussex has shared some more glimpses of the younsters – much to fans’ delight. Although their faces have remained hidden, a royal expert has suggested this is something Harry and Meghan aren’t seeing “eye to eye” on.
Prince Harry would ‘want a world where his children would never be recognised’
Royal author Duncan Larcombe has spoken to OK! about Meghan sharing more snippets of their kids on her Instagram account.
Meghan also launched the website of her new brand, As Ever, with a beautiful photo of her and Princess Lilibet.
Duncan said: “Given Harry’s views on publicity, fans were probably shocked to see Lilibet again so soon. If Harry could wave a magic wand, I think he’d want a world where his children would never be recognised or seen as public property in any way, because he hated that himself. He’s wrestled with it his whole life.
“But Meghan is building a brand, and that is somewhat at odds with a life out of the limelight, so this is where alarm bells might start to ring down the line for Harry.
“She’s sharing their children tentatively. But it’s a very big deal because it’s a tap they won’t get to turn off.”
Harry and Meghan ‘don’t see eye to eye’ on decision over their children
Duncan said there’s “probably some truth in the idea that Harry and Meghan perhaps don’t see eye-to-eye on this”.
Royal Insider has contacted reps for Harry for comment.
Despite not being in the spotlight, Archie and Lilibet still have prince and princess titles. This is something they were given when their grandfather King Charles became monarch in 2022.
Although royal fans haven’t been given many glimpses of Archie and Lilibet, Harry and Meghan have still shared some sweet details about their kids over the years.
In August 2024, Meghan spoke at an Afro Women and Power event in Colombia. She revealed that Lilibet had started speaking out at three.
She said: “Part of the modelling that I certainly try to do as a mother is to encourage our daughter, who at three, has found her voice. And we are so proud of her for that.”
Princess Lilibet ‘blessed’ with Meghan’s ‘long thick hair’
Meanwhile, Prince Harry sweetly revealed that Lilibet follows after her mum when it comes to her hair.
Hello! Magazine’s cheif content officer Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon explained what Harry had said during a children’s charity event.
She explained: “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us. He marvelled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.”
Cute!
