Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to live a more private life with their children after leaving the Royal Family behind in 2020. As of today, we know that didn’t happen, although the couple was previously quite strict with posting any pictures of their kids, Archie and Lilibet.
However, now Megan has begun posting photos and videos of them online. One expert now brands Meghan a ‘hypocrite’ for doing it.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left royal life behind in 2020. Less than two years after the couple married in a huge royal wedding, they decided that enough was enough and went on what they called the “freedom flight” from the UK, first to Canada and later to settle in Monteico, California.
But while they perhaps wanted life to be more quiet and less in public, that was not what happened. Following their bombshell Oprah interview, Harry’s book, and several other interviews and projects, Harry and Meghan have become somewhat synonymous with newspaper articles and opinions about how they are approaching their fame and family life. One sure thing is that it’s not entirely private.
While Harry and Meghan have been seen engaging in various projects and giving interviews, one thing has remained the same. The couple decided for many years not to show their children in pictures and videos, and Lilibet and Archie were, in fact, only seen in the Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary. But in the last year, something has happened.
The two youngsters, Archie, aged six, and Lilibet, aged four, have appeared in more and more pictures that the couple has released, and their faces are featured. As recently as June 15, for Father’s Day, Meghan Markle posted a video of Harry and their two children on Instagram.
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle want to protect children online
Additionally, through their Archwell Foundation, the Duke and Duchess have shared their vision for protecting children’s online safety and preventing harm to children.
“Our kids are young, they are three and five, they’re amazing, but all you want to do as parents is protect them,” Meghan said. “And so as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there and we’re just happy to be a part of change for good.”
Prince Harry continued by speaking of how, in the “olden days,” parents at least knew what their kids were up to, compared to now.
“At least they were safe, right?” he said. “And now, they could be in the next door room on a tablet or on a phone, and can be going down these rabbit holes. And before you know it, within 24 hours, they could be taking their life.”
While Harry and Meghan want to fight harm among children online, the fact that they are showing their children in pictures through their social media channels with millions of followers has had quite a backlash. Speaking with The Sun, Royal commentator and Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, blasted Meghan and Harry for sending mixed messages about the privacy of family.
