Prince Harry Not Happy About Meghan Featuring Kids In Brand Campaign!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s approach to parenting and the public’s view of their children has recently come under scrutiny. While the couple has largely kept their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, out of the spotlight, their different views on sharing their lives with the public have sparked a debate. Sources suggest that Prince Harry is uncomfortable with his wife using their children to promote her brand, As Ever.

Diverging Views on Publicity

According to royal editor Matt Wilkinson, the Duke of Sussex is not fond of exposing his children to public attention. He believes that taking his children outside of their private home in Montecito could attract unwanted paparazzi attention. Wilkinson shared in a podcast that Harry prefers to keep his children’s lives private, especially when it comes to their photos.

In contrast, Meghan Markle, who grew up in California, has a more open attitude towards sharing her children’s lives. Wilkinson claims that Meghan, having envisioned a California-style lifestyle, is more inclined to take her children out and show glimpses of their daily activities. “She doesn’t want to hide them away,” he said.

Meghan’s Brand and Parenting Persona

While Harry seems reluctant to involve their children in the public sphere, Meghan has used social media to promote her new lifestyle brand, As Ever. Meghan has shared a few glimpses of her children, without fully showing their faces, in posts that showcase her as a mother and homemaker. Some critics have suggested that Meghan is using these moments to build a connection with her audience by presenting herself as a relatable, family-focused figure.

A Growing Divide?

Despite their differing approaches, Meghan’s recent social media posts have included moments with her children. In February, she shared a Valentine’s Day video featuring Archie and Lilibet making desserts. Later, a photo showed Harry and Lilibet relaxing on a boat, and another post featured the children’s red hair in a promotional shot for As Ever.

These posts seem to reflect Meghan’s desire to portray her family in a more public light. However, the tension between Harry’s desire for privacy and Meghan’s brand-building efforts suggests an ongoing divide in how they view their children’s involvement in public life.

The Absence of Children in Meghan’s Netflix Series

Despite their visible presence on social media, Archie and Lilibet were noticeably absent from Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which premiered in March. This decision further highlights the couple’s mixed feelings about how much to involve their children in the public eye.

While Meghan Markle appears eager to share aspects of her family life to promote her brand, Prince Harry remains cautious about exposing their children to the public. This divide in their approach could lead to further discussions on the balance between privacy and publicity in their family life. For now, the couple’s differing views seem to reflect the complexity of modern celebrity parenting.
