Photoshoot for the Sussex Children?

[MrsFinkelstein]

I actually hope this isn't true. It's one thing I've always admired of the Sussexes, that they have (generally) protected their children's privacy very effectively.

I hope its not related to the new commercial venture.

so your happy for the Wales to use their children, but anyone else is wrong.

I know Harry and Meghan have spoken out about the dangers of social media - but have they ever actually addressed the elephant in the room?

The Sussex Squad seem to be some of the most toxic people online - they have played a huge role in bullying Kate

have W&K spoken out about the bullying that Meghan has received on line?

Did William not issue a statement in the early days in support of Meghan ?

I'm not saying that Harry and Meghan are wrong but the two families are not comparable at all. Just because there is an expectation that William's children are seen and photographed doesn't mean Harry has to do the same.

that was years ago, you know the point im making. both women are bullied on sm, so shouldn't they both speak out now.

What really got my goat was saying Diana’s money was reserved for his children.

So many golden peep-from-behind-a-cushion moments to pick from but that one's right up there 😁

Although as ever there are discrepancies. Harold claimed (in Spare?) that it was his inheritance from Diana that enabled him to buy his Montecito vanity pad.

Makes you wonder which it is.

The one thing I agreed with M and H about was privacy for their DC but when they touted them on Netflix …..

Do also feel bad about all the pictures of Kate and Wills’ kids that have been released? There are many, many, many pics of George et al floating around that there are of Megan & Harry’s children.

It's not comparable though is it. Unfortunately it comes as part of the deal for being the child of an heir and a future heir. Whilst not something I would want for my children the fact William's children are photographed and photos of them are released is irrelevant to Harry and Meghan's children who aren't in a situation where they get photographed. They also don't need their parents to release photos and videos of them as part of an agreement. The fact their parents have chosen to do so previously for financial gain is more comparable to celebrities who use their children in that way.

There is an expectation that we see the royal children, the Sussex's now have a choice as they left that life

maybe we should question that expectation. I do hope it stops when they become awkward teens.

It would be nice if all the children could grow up with complete privacy but , given the massive over reaction to not seeing Kate, I think for the royal children it's extremely unlikely

I'm sure they will try to handle it as best they can but given how much of an over the top reaction some people have had to not seeing their mother for a few months I'm not sure it will be better for them to not be photographed at all can you imagine the conspiracy theories.

Either way it's irrelevant in the situation of whether Harry and Meghan's children are photographed or used when it's financially beneficial.

I think the expectation to see the children should be questioned too samcro

However, looking at what has happened to their mother in the last few weeks, I wonder what scurrilous things would be said about them if they dropped from view?

H&M are fortunate in that they are no longer part of the Royal Family in that way. They are fortunate in that they are not expected to take their children to their functions/ occasions. They did right by keeping them out of the public eye.

It would be a shame to undo that.

There is no denying that any picture would be able to command a pot of gold. Whether it be for a tv programme or magazine. It would also get a load of clicks if they were to use their children regarding their merchandise. It would also create a media frenzy if they released any images on the day that Kate is out for her first function for example.

I would hope they are smart enough not to do that. They’ve got it spot on with regards to their children up to now.

Sorry zipzap. I think I’ve cross posted with you a bit.

No need to apologise it's a good point worth making more than once.

That’s what I get for putting out a washing mid-post!

Where does that expectation come from? You guys right? All the royal fans? That anyone thinks that expectation should be met, is strange to me. Clearly they do not agree with these expectations on them, otherwise Kate and William wouldn't have faked a photo of their family and pretended he took it.

This thread seems to be based on a tabloid article, which after the heavy criticisms on the board for all the media articles on Kate, I find really hypocritical. Nobody knows if this story is true, if it's for private photos or ones they'll make public and I would question why any of you care about a family that is no longer answerable to you. If people here are berating posters for discussing the existing royal family, it seems really odd to then engage in a thread about these children and a hypothetical situation. I don't remember Harry ever saying he was taking his children away and they would never be seen again. They have in fact released photos of them before.

There’s no royal fans.

Of course there is! Supporters, fans, whatever word you like, otherwise who lines the streets to gawp at them? Fans. Like any celebrity, they have fans.

@areyoutheregod Huge assumptions there " you guys" who does that refer to? "Royal fans" once again can you point to who exactly are the royal fans? The expectation on the royal family has been highlighted over the last few months with the demand to see Kate and the subsequent conspiracy theories when that didn't happen

I haven't conducted a poll, so not sure if those demanding information, photos, medical records etc are royal fans or not, have you?

gosh, why so triggered at the suggestion they have fans? If you're not one and you don't expect photos of their children, don't follow them, their clothes etc, then it isn't about you. The royal board is mostly supporters and fans of the royal family from what I've seen.

You haven't read a lot of threads then have you as there are a number criticising the royal family. Hardly triggered, she is responding to your comment

Gosh. No one is triggered. But gosh. People are reading what they like instead of the words posted. AGAIN.

No one has said that H was going to hide away his children. But he has not posted lots of pictures of them on social media and has kept them away from prying eyes - only a good thing.

‘You guys’ is such a sweeping statement. It is unnecessary.

The spare's dc are irrelevant in terms of royal life. The older the Wales kids get the more irrelevant in terms of RF Harry and his offspring become. In an ideal world, William and Harry's family should have got on well and been close but that's never going to happen. Harry and Meghan cannot and will never be trusted again. H&M have made themselves vulnerable to influence from powerful individuals with their own hostile agenda because they need money and live beyond their means.

If Meghan manages to build a successful business that can only be a good thing in the greater scheme of things, it makes them more independent. It's up them too whether they want to flaunt their kids but interest isn't going to be great, unless they keep positioning Lili as some sort of Diana, which would be horribly tacky and utterly hypocritical, as surely no-one in their right mind would want that sort of attention on a little girl. It will also be interesting to see how Archie and lili turn out and what relationship they will seek and form with the royal rellies, later on.
