To love Meghan and Harry but think they need to let us see the kids?

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 🤷‍♀️

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

How do you know?

If it was stated by the PM to be a private and family matter I'm prepared to accept that. I doubt it would be in his interests to lie about it.

Is this thread now going to be used as an example of social media demanding to see the children and putting their security at risk??

You have zero right to see those children and you’re coming across as really creepy. It’s distasteful.

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

I have no desire to, but I'm sure at some point they will be out there for a fee.

Not one member of the royal family works so let’s drop that nonsense - waving at crowds and watching sporting finals is no one’s definition of work 🙄.

Some do royal duties some don’t - much more accurate.

They are not coming back to royal life, they will be private citizens, you have no more right to see their children than mine.

The attitude of some of the British public and their rights to access photos of other people’s children is insane.

I dont pay that much attention as I find the coverage a bit much with the subtle dislike of meghan

I like them! But did think theyd be working as royals, as their security arrangements seem to be tax funded

For a royalist, you don’t seem to know much about the workings (or non-workings) of the royal family. But in any case your interest seems a bit unusual.

I'm no royalist

Or maybe I am getting there in my old age

Gone is the antiestablishment feminist of my youth, i know that for sure

You love M&H? That’s quite odd. I had no problem with them moving to the US, but I have a problem with their inconsistencies, lies and trashing of their families. And now moving back to a country that apparently treated them like shit and made Meghan suicidal.

None of it adds up. Why do you love people like that?

I think if they are royals getting money from the taxpayer then the kids probably ought to be photographed once a year on some special occasion, such as a family wedding or royal occasion. Nothing more. The kids are innocent, for now, but I don’t rate their chances of remaining so as adults if they are brought up by such a dishonest and slippery pair.

I bet some unfortunate MNer is going to send their kids back to their school next week and find Archie and Lilibet in the playground. What a nightmare!

See, I think its the kids that keep them in people's affections 🤷‍♀️

As a mum, I relate more to parents and like hearing the tidbits about how theyre up all night etc

Show quote history

I’m a mum to 3 children the same ages as William’s 3 children. I don’t feel I need to relate to them, nor feel like I need to hear about them waking in the night.

Don’t worry I expect you will see them
soon, the turned away social media shots are clearly leading up to a big exciting monetised reveal of the poor kids - if MandH genuinely didn’t want them to be seen/recognised they’d keep them off social media all together.

I'm surprised by the poll. Not intending to ask a silly question, but why?

Part of the royals deal is that we get a photo every year and see them during the Trooping the Colour, which I love.

They’re not working royals so there is no ‘royal deal’ with them.
I think they’re a pair of narcissistic arseholes, but we have no right at all to see their children, who are living as private citizens.

Just weird that you believe there is a right to see the children. Leave them alone and crack on with your life

Yup

They are not royals, so there is no "royals deal". They are private citizens.

Opinion polls show that the British public don't want them to return to royal duties because they are so toxic.

That means they don't have to show us their children and I doubt most people are bothered about seeing them.
