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 dont blame them the pure vitriol showm towards them by some weirdos
If they show the children
You can gurantee some people wont be able to help themselves being hateful about the children either .

This is fair and probably their thinking

But imo, were they to become working royals, they cant be hidden!

I have zero interest in what their kids look like. Didn't they release a picture of their dd on her first birthday?

Meg put them on Instagram a fair bit, then slags of Meta.

As members of the royal family (whether Official or not, they are still close relations of the king) those children are high profile targets for kidnapping and other terrorism. For that reason alone, I’m delighted that their privacy is being protected.

They’re not working royals.

Ew, no

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

George could become our Head of State tomorrow. He cannot be hidden away until he’s 18.

They have every right not to.

However, I suspect you're right about needing to publicise the kids if they want public affection. So it depends on their priorities.

Any1ForTennis · Yesterday 20:28

@hotmumshit Can you post some pics of your kids, I want to see them?

No? Funny that 🤔. Is it because you want to protect their privacy as private individuals?

NewGirlInTown · Yesterday 20:29

Are you on glue?

HRTQueen · Yesterday 20:30

I like Harry and Megan too and wish them well the anger towards them js insane

I hope they keep their children private that we have no idea if we passed them on the street of who they are is a credit to them

it won’t be so easy now but I really hope they do not become the paraded around like objects of fascination like Willan and Harry were and sadly William’s children have become

I think i am too

Yes there are creeps in the world, just liks there will be towards wills kids - thats what tax funded security is for

I dunno, theyre part of the royal family

I certainly have warmed to will and Kate since the kids have come along

Honestly, no one cares what they look like, it’ll be fine. And Meg should keep them off Instagram.

I dunno, all kids of high profile people are targets

Were meghan an actress and Harry had renounced completely their royal titles and worked for HSBC, I would not be saying this btw.

Princess Anne made the choice to not give her children titles and to try to keep them away from the public eye when they were children to allow them to have a more normal upbringing.

Now that was pre social media so it wasn’t as hard to do in a sense but it’s not new for those not directly in line for the thrown to be allowed a bit more privacy thankfully

Anywherebuthere · Yesterday 20:33

No thanks. No one has the right to see other people's children, especially if it's against the parents wishes.

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

I forget, do the kids have titles? I think they do?

Thats true about Anne - I also dont really have much interest in her though tbh 😄.

Liked her in The Crown! And loved princess Margaret in the crown.

Do we want to see their personalities? I find that a rather strange thing to say. I find it rather creepy that someone would actually say they really want to see someone else's kids 😳

Nobody wants to see them, don’t worry.

Well going by the amount of threads about them in the royal family topic and whatvibsee online i disagree i think some people would love to see them so they have a pop at the kids too.

pizzaHeart · Yesterday 20:37

They don’t get taxpayers money. Their parents don’t get taxpayers money.
I don’t want you to see my DC and know my life details why should you? I suspect Harry and Megan feel the same - you have no right to know about their life.

Jk987 · Yesterday 20:37

Wind up post.

Comeonbabylightmyaga · Yesterday 20:38

I don’t have an opinion on Harry and Megan, but it’s weird that you feel that you have a right to see what their children look like. They don’t owe you anything.

Of course they do

how many threads have been started about H&M in this last week, articles in the media reported on the news

so many would have an opinion and many wouldn’t think twice about being critical of how they looked, acted etc

Only this OP says he or she wants to see them, and as MNHQ often says, you don’t know who anyone is on the internet.
