Royal Fans Question Meghan and Harry’s Decision to Keep Archie and Lily Hidden
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left fans puzzled as to why they keep their children, Archie and Lily, out of the public eye.
The royal couple welcomed their first child, son Archie, in 2019, followed by the birth of their daughter, Lilybet, two years later.
However, since their births, the children have rarely been seen, sparking curiosity among royal enthusiasts, particularly in the US.
During a recent episode of Royally Us, host Christina Garibaldi addressed the issue, pointing out that Harry and Meghan are very protective of their children.
While this is understandable, many fans are eager to catch glimpses of the little ones.
PR expert leader Citrion weighed in on the matter, emphasizing the fine line between authenticity and transparency.
Citrion noted that while being authentic means being genuine, it doesn't necessarily require divulging every detail of one's life, including their children.
For Archie's first birthday in May 2020, Meghan and Harry released a heartwarming video as part of the Save the Children initiative, Save With Stories.
In the video, Archie sat on Meghan's lap, engrossed as she read him the children's book “Duck.
Rabbit.”
Their daughter, Lilibet, affectionately known as Lily, was born in June 2021.
As she approaches her first birthday, Australian journalist Daniela Elzer speculated that the couple's decision to keep their children hidden could be a gesture of support for the Queen, even if they opt out of public appearances.
Despite their absence from the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside the Queen in June, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to visit the UK with Archie and Lilibet for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.
The palace announced that only working members of the royal family would be present on the balcony with the monarch, excluding the Sussexes.
Royal expert Daniela Elzer remarked on the situation, describing it as Harry and Meghan acquiescing to a downgrade in full view of the public.
Elzer expressed surprise at the couple's willingness to participate as supporting guests, highlighting the scrutiny they face.
In contrast, royal expert Omid Scobie previously shared that Harry and Meghan had not been keen on appearing on the balcony.
While they were interested in participating in Jubilee events, including the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, the formal balcony moment held less appeal for them.
The decision by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to keep Archie and Lily hidden has sparked debate among royal fans and experts alike.
While the couple's desire for privacy and protection of their children is understandable, their selective approach to sharing glimpses of their family life continues to intrigue audiences worldwide.
As they navigate their roles within the royal family and public scrutiny, Harry and Meghan's choices regarding their children remain a topic of fascination and speculation.
