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 🤷‍♀️

Wtf are you on about? Why on earth do you think you're entitled to see the children of total strangers who have absolutely nothing to do with you? Are you mad?

Elsvieta · Today 08:47

Eh? They're not "coming back to royal life". Highly unlikely that they'll be seen at Trooping The Colour or any of those things.

I was making light convo tbh

I know that Margaret and Anne werent actually acting in the show...

But I think that they captured the personalities of them a little, as far as we know, no?

And I think Margaret was fun, wasnt she? I was born in the early 90s so missed it

But I did watch will and Harry grow up - there's a kind of attachment that comes with that

To be honest, much of what Princess Margaret did was kept very quiet. People were scandalised by her affair with Roddy Llewellyn because of the age gap, but it was only obliquely mentioned in the gossip columns. She spent a lot of time on Mustique where she did what she wanted.

It’s not like today where everything is filmed or recorded and was quite tame.

Try the zoo, you pay to get in and you might see some baby animals.

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

Just all the normal social conventions such as not putting your brother who you slated, his wife who you called racist and your stepmother who you've repeatedly attacked in a public facing setting where your gurning, camera seeking wife will also he

Creepy obsession with children 🤔

I dont think so at all, theres zero obsession here

I like them and think that, as someone who's kept Harry in their heart, its a positive thing to see the next generation 🤷‍♀️

Nothing crazy, just the same as wills and Kate have done.

So interesting - from the show, it seemed as though it was in the tabloids!

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.

I agree. After all they 're probably still on their we want no publicity world tour. I see there's not been a mention of them on the news in the last couple of days . It should stay that way.

This adds to the creepiness given you don't know them

A positive thing is very different to "Needing to see them".

This is hillarious you are one of the posters i see frequently on the threads about tthem if they suddenly went away you would hsve to find a new hobby😂

Fern26 · Today 11:32

All children should have privacy they didn’t ask to be born in to the lime light!
There is no need to show Harry & Meghan's kids.
William and Catherine make sure they only release photos and let their kids appear when they need/want to, to try and keep their privacy as much as possible.

The Royal fanily are all gurners. And you don’t know what hapoens behind closed doors so why act like the authority on the subject.

oh I agree do it the Royal Family way!

your team around you feeds the press what is decided they need to know with a bit of extra information to keep editors happy to keep up a good public image

its worked so well for so many years and given how many mugs there are about it still is

But do you feel because you like David Attenborough that he NEEDS to show you his family?

You said - 'you dont know them'

I explained that although I dont know them, i do care for them

Were David Attenborough a Royal, whos whole ethos was being Britain's family, I would be saying the same thing 🤷‍♀️

Let's see how Harry and Meghans return pans out - i suspect they'll become working royals again, in which case, we'll see the kids in the same controlled way we see wills and Kates kids

Prince Harry belongs on the stage doing royal engagements - hes excellent at it, and so is meghan tbh

Did you miss the part where Harry isn't a working royal anymore? And one the reasons for this is because he didn't want his children forced into it... forced into a life of the public thinking they own them.

They didn't ask to be born into the Royal family.

DontBuyAnotherBook · Today 13:20

I don't get showing the kids but not the faces. Just don't put any photos up then. 🤷

It's not really clear though 😂
Because uptrend you've actually said you thought they were coming back as Working Royals. Elsewhere you've said you think they will become working royals again. You believe Haryy BELONGS there... again ignoring the fact it is a forced by birth role.

MonkeyMaze101 · Today 13:25

Yes, I saw that.
Might need the security though if there are people trying to hunt down the kids 😳

I agree they shouldn't get the perks though. But at the end of the day, the innocent children shouldn't need to be paraded around (whether royal or not) IMO.

🙄 the thread has moved on since then, do keep up

We're now all aware that theyre back, not as working royals but somehow living here, their security arrangements arent public knowledge (tax payer) and theyre showing Instagram photos of the back of the kids head - which has led us to - the comment you quoted.

Please respond the comment youre responding to 💐

😂😂😂 We were all aware of all of those things... it was you who was confused. Probably because your weird infatuation for Harry and Meghan has blurred your brain.
