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 🤷‍♀️

H & M are not working royals they are private citizens. As such we should respect their and their children’s privacy.

Showing the children’s faces is a potential security risk. Privacy is the best way to protect them.

Exactly.

I’m not interested in seeing them at all, but I’m not a fan of the RF . I’d like a Republic

I’d love a Republic. Especially if we get Miggledy.

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 mean you normally post a lot of gifs.

Meghan posts loads of photos of the kids regularly on her Instagram, have a look there.

By the way, they are not working Royals and so far are not being funded by the taxpayer as far as we know (despite Harry’s repeated efforts to get the British public to finance him and his family).

The only thing missing from this batshit thread is a slew of inappropriate gifs but I guess it's weird and unsettling enough already.

There’s an irony in your post given your rather, er, non-gentle username 😂

I would advise that you don’t go into the Royal Family section if you think this benign thread is batshit.

Weird. Super super weird. I presume this is a wind up.

Yabu. Those poor kids need protection from what the backlash from what their parents with mental health issues have done to their family and friends. Honestly the only decent thing h and m have done is protect their children.

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

Show quote history

ITV and ITN - Chris Ship, Tom Bradby, GMTV, and chief exec, Carolyn McCall - are all massive Sussex fans. You are clearly making things up, aren’t you.

Can i ask you why? Genuinely?

I know she was quite sad

I can accept that having been born in 91, i know less about Margaret than most people here, i'm fine with it

Show quote history

I perceived her as vain, selfish and irresponsible.

SunsetDrifter · 27/08/2026 21:38

Can we see your kids? Why don't you share some holiday snaps and some videos here so we can get to know their personalities? Isn't a weird request at all asking for someone to share photos of their kids publicly is it?

You have absolutely no idea what any royal kids personality or any other detail about them for that matter apart from their ages and the school they attend (as there's such a song and dance about it!). They are paraded around dressed up in suits and made to sit through various long dull events. How exactly do you believe you know anything about them and more to the point why do you need to? They are just children born into an overprivileged family, "famous" for being born into an overprivileged family. I don't need to see photos of their parents, nevermind their kids!

I really don't think any of their kids should be paraded around, the whole concept is weird.

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

Edited

Whether it is or not, do you think that letting the assorted loons of the country know exactly what their children look like is going to enhance their safety or make it far, far riskier for them?

They’re not going to be working royals and their children aren’t for our entertainment.
All the media speculation gets on my nerves. How would anyone like to deal with difficult family issues with everyone having an opinion on it and posting all over Social media?
We don’t really know what goes on and I wish everyone would just let the king and William do their job without making a soap opera of their family life.
I hope that Harry and Meghan are happy but that they stay out of the limelight and that family relationships eventually mend.
Some sectors of the media love to whip up the drama. I hope Harry learns from the past and doesn’t engage with it again.

Wasn't she an alcoholic? She also seemed to have extremely bad taste in men.

George and to a lesser extent Charlotte and Louis are of constitutional importance being the heir and the spares. We see limited photos of them at certain planned times or occasions. It's been the way for a while with the direct line of succession
H is not a member of the WRF and he and his children are in real terms of no constitunional importance. No need for any official photos. If M wants to put these up with backs of heads / blanked faces - that's her choice. There is no need.

I think the difference is quite clear.
& despite your explanation , I personally find your description of Louis as camp a little uncomfortable. But hey - you've got a conversation going.
