I'm no Meghan hater, but, if youre coming back to the uk and royal life, I do think the kids need to be shown.

Just like i like seeing Louis and the others, theyve got little personalities we want to see 🤷‍♀️

Princess Anne made the choice to not give her children titles and to try to keep them away from the public eye when they were children to allow them to have a more normal upbringing.

Now that was pre social media so it wasn’t as hard to do in a sense but it’s not new for those not directly in line for the thrown to be allowed a bit more privacy thankfully

I forget, do the kids have titles? I think they do?

Thats true about Anne - I also dont really have much interest in her though tbh 😄.

Liked her in The Crown! And loved princess Margaret in the crown.

I like Harry and Megan too and wish them well the anger towards them js insane

I hope they keep their children private that we have no idea if we passed them on the street of who they are is a credit to them

it won’t be so easy now but I really hope they do not become the paraded around like objects of fascination like Willan and Harry were and sadly William’s children have become

The anger towards them is ridiculous, cant enjoy ITV for 5 mins without someone popping up to slag her off

No thanks. No one has the right to see other people's children, especially if it's against the parents wishes.

As members of the royal family (whether Official or not, they are still close relations of the king) those children are high profile targets for kidnapping and other terrorism. For that reason alone, I’m delighted that their privacy is being protected.

I dunno, all kids of high profile people are targets

Were meghan an actress and Harry had renounced completely their royal titles and worked for HSBC, I would not be saying this btw.

Honestly, no one cares what they look like, it’ll be fine. And Meg should keep them off Instagram.

@hotmumshit Can you post some pics of your kids, I want to see them?

No? Funny that 🤔. Is it because you want to protect their privacy as private individuals?

They have every right not to.

However, I suspect you're right about needing to publicise the kids if they want public affection. So it depends on their priorities.

I think i am too

Yes there are creeps in the world, just liks there will be towards wills kids - thats what tax funded security is for

I dunno, theyre part of the royal family

I certainly have warmed to will and Kate since the kids have come along

Ew, no

I’d be happier never seeing George, Charlotte and Louis until they’re 18+ also

George could become our Head of State tomorrow. He cannot be hidden away until he’s 18.

Knickerstoya · 27/08/2026 20:27

hotmumshit · 27/08/2026 20:26

This is fair and probably their thinking

But imo, were they to become working royals, they cant be hidden!

They’re not working royals.

I have zero interest in what their kids look like. Didn't they release a picture of their dd on her first birthday?

Meg put them on Instagram a fair bit, then slags of Meta.

I dont blame them the pure vitriol showm towards them by some weirdos
If they show the children
You can gurantee some people wont be able to help themselves being hateful about the children either .

Of course we don’t need to see the kids. That’s weird and inappropriate. I wish H&M would stop posting photos of them. If they don’t want their children in the public eye they should stop using them as props for publicity. Having their heads turned away just makes it all seem hypocritical.

I agree with this. Just keep the children out of any photos. I find it extremely annoying when they post twee photos with heads buried in parents’ shoulders and deliberately turned away as though they’re informal shots rather than carefully curated ‘look, here are our kids, but on principle, we’re not going to show you our kids’ pictures!

Nobody wants to see them, don’t worry.

NolanChanceJustLikeTheWeatherNSoul · 27/08/2026 20:25

Don't think H&M will be here long once H has secured money from KC they'll be off.

Their children are not part of it we the public have no right to see them in any capacity.

Be as stunning and graceful as Meghan, and I might want to 👀

Now I know you're taking the piss!
😂😂🤣

paomara · 27/08/2026 20:24

I heard that there is to be a tunnel from their house to the school, and a heli pad to take them from the grounds of their house to the airport for California or Portugal. I didn't hear anything about going to the doc/dentist, getting their jabs or whatever though, that could be dangerous, we might see them.

Which i took as code for tax funded 😄

No. They’re organising their own security. If they are deemed to be at high enough level of risk they will be given security in the same way as anyone else through RAVEC.
