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 🤷‍♀️

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.

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.

I'm not sure what I said that was deleted 🤔. Still, we wont all agree. Just expressing my thoughts 🤷‍♀️

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

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

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

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

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).

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 & 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.

IsawwhatIsaw · 27/08/2026 22:27

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.

Why do we need to see any of the kids? 🤷‍♀️

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

But they’re not working royals OP, so they’re not going to be at trooping the colour 🤦🏻‍♀️

They can still attend the Trooping the Colour if Charles wants them to. There’s no law against it.

Sartre · 28/08/2026 08:17

If I’m recalling correctly due to Diana’s death even William and Kate made a deal with the press from the start. Kate would take all photos of the children and release official ones a few times a year in return for them backing off and leaving them all alone.

Creepy obsession with children 🤔
