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'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.

H and M aren't Royal they left and at best are Royal adjacent they are unpleasant individuals and their DC should be left well out of it.

Meghan and Harry - both of them

I dont disagree that the press coverage of will and Harry was way too intense

But the photo and the trooping the colour isn't too much?

Show quote history

Why on earth would they want to put their children in the public view? What makes you think you are entitled to gawp at other people’s children?

Maybe because people here care about the wellbeing of children?

Redredrumdedrum · 27/08/2026 20:06

Ew, no

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

The obsession with the whole family is scary. No wonder they want protection

Duckiewasthefirstniceguy · 27/08/2026 20:05

What a profoundly weird take. No child needs to be in the public eye. No child that grew up in the public eye has ever, as an adult, gone ‘I’m so glad that happened to me, it was great’. My favourite thing about them is the fact that they keep those kids shielded and private.

You’re being entitled and creepy.

Funny you single out Meghan to show their children and not Harry. Not sure what makes you think anyone needs to show their children though, it isn’t a zoo.

There’s a RF board you know

No, these people you've never met and have no connection to whatsoever do not "need" to let you see their children. It's really odd that you feel entitled to, or care about, the opportunity to gawp at their kids.

Knickerstoya · 27/08/2026 20:04

No they don’t. They’re not working royals and even if they were it’s up to them as parents.

TofuTuesday · 27/08/2026 20:04

Why though? They are just random kids who are no better than yours or mine. You don’t know them, you’ll never know them. It’s such a weird interest. I’m surprised at how furious I am about the whole privileged lot of them.

doodleygirl · 27/08/2026 20:04

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

You have no right to see any bodies children.

If they have made the choice to keep the children out of the public eye then fair play to them.

William and Katherine didn’t really have a choice in the matter but Harry and Megan do.

NoelEdmondsHairGel · 27/08/2026 20:03

How weird. Poor little sods don’t deserve to have people like you monitoring them and prying into their lives. Leave them be.

Dearg · 27/08/2026 20:02

i really dislike H& M but leave the kids out of it. We have absolutely no right to see them, or indeed know anything about them

Merrymoonage · 27/08/2026 20:02

No.
