When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020, one of their stated goals was to raise their children—Archie and Lilibet—away from the intense media spotlight. For years, they were notably private about their family life, rarely sharing photos of their children with the public.
But now, things appear to be changing. Meghan recently posted a heartfelt video for Father’s Day showing Prince Harry with their kids, and some royal commentators aren’t too pleased.
A Shift in Strategy?
For much of their post-royal life, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spoken out about the importance of protecting their children’s privacy, particularly online. Their Netflix documentary was one of the first times fans saw Archie and Lilibet’s faces clearly, and even then, their screen time was limited.
That’s why Meghan’s recent posts—featuring both children’s faces—have raised eyebrows.
In a candid moment on her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, Meghan spoke about online safety and the challenges of parenting in the digital age. “All you want to do as parents is protect [your kids],” she said, expressing concern over how easily children can be exposed to harmful content online.
Prince Harry echoed her worries, pointing out that children today can get lost in the online world—even when they’re just in the next room. He warned about the dark paths young minds might stumble upon in the digital space, describing the risks as far more serious than what past generations faced.
