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 🤷‍♀️

They’re not working royals, their kids are never going to be working royals, nobody has a right to see photos of them.
It’s different with William’s kids because their Dad is going to be King and George will be King one day so they are in the public eye whether they like it or not. I still don’t think that gives the press the right to follow kids around taking unofficial photos though

No child should be shown online.

Genuinely thought H&M were very limited on pics of the kids. Not that I actually care but definitely respect anyone in the public eye for keeping their kids out of it.

I have just followed since I heard they were coming back 😅

Saw the photo of the 4 of them, with the kids obscured

Dunno, they arent influencers trying to get on Strictly, just pop a photo of the four of you and call it day imo, as much as i love them

Wtf? I’m not a supporter of royalty but even if I was , why bring the kids into it?

Unfortunately Meghan’s photos do tend to get all over the news cycle.

And very easiy to move on from the stories always plenty of other news

but the are printed because people do click on them often so they can get all stupidly angry about how much they hate them 🙄

pimplebum · 27/08/2026 21:03

They have had racially motivated death threats and no decent security

i am curious and would like to see the kids faces but not at the risk they would be harmed

This is what the press always do with the royal kids. The oldest is always portrayed as sensible and serious. The younger siblings are always naughty/cheeky/wild. If there’s more than one then they give one of them the solid/reliable/down to earth personality. It doesn’t matter what they’re actually like in reality.

Personally don't care much about any of the Royal Family and care even less to see the kids. I feel incredibly sad for them to grow up in a life with zero privacy, with people constantly trying to take their photo and make comments about what them. I don't understand what anyone gets out of seeing the babies/children of famous people, but then, the only pictures of children I really enjoy seeing are pictures of my own. I

its been made massively clear that they are not coming back to royal life.

Never say never.

Poor Louis, bored out of his head by those hideous , boring sporting events or celebrationsn with ancient rock stars.

Camp? I don't think so.
George looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.

I loved seeing Louis making clear how bored he was 😄 - made them so much more human to me

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.

The Waleses do a great job balancing their public-private roles. We are paying towards their lives so snapshots of the kids are expected, but they are mostly taken by the Princess of Wales, who is extremely good at giving just enough. HaM are going to have to work hard to find a comfortable balance.

It’s usually a picture realised on their birthday, hardly hard work.

Agree with this - i am not asking for tabloids hacking their mobiles or anything, just seeing the kids a little, In the same controlled way we do with wills kids

Ive really warmed to Katherine through the kids, and it could be the same for Harry and meghan

Well Louis seems funny and slightly camp - Charlotte seems the typical sister keeping Louis in line - and she looks so much like will!

The oldest seems very serious bless him, makes sense

No-one cares about seeing the kids. No one needs Meg to be putting them on Instagram. In fact I very much wish she would stop doing it.

No-one cares about seeing the kids.

Does that mean no one cares about seeing George, Charlotte and Louis either then?

They just want something to whinge at.

They?

where I’m from camp means overblown gay behaviour. And a wee boy shouldn’t be spoken about in that way.

either way, your interest in someone else’s children is weird.

they’re private citizens. Their mother and father have made the decision not to put their faces in the news media or social media and the public have no right to see them.

Total bewildered as to why you'd be interested in their kids. They're just random kids - genuinely baffled
