If they're not going to show the children's faces, why post photos at all?

Because they are desperate for publicity. This gets the clicks.

There is absolutely no reason to post any photos of their children. Pair of attention seeking hypocrites

Puzzledandpissedoff · 21/06/2026 21:37

I haven’t ever seen ‘the tig’ but I wonder what that was like -was she as clueless about PR and what people want to see then??

Yes she was, . There was an especially painful piece where she announced that she was going to show the viewer some of her favourite spots in Toronto and then had herself on screen for practically all of it

It even included FIVE shots of photographers trying to get photos of her, so be warned if you want to watch it ...

Edited to add I don't know why the link's repeated - sorry about that

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Honestly, put them in a line up with the rear of 10 kids and their kids could be picked out in a nano second. This is noting to do with privacy and all to do with a marketing teaser campaign, and we all know how crap she is at product marketing, so it will be another disaster when the big reveal happens.

I bet she is planning a royal walkabout with the kids in July

I reckon she’s planning on a ‘pap shot’ which shows their faces to strengthen her claims it’s not safe for them here, so she has a rock solid excuse for them never coming back. Plus they’ll use it as a “see we needed proper security”.

It will all be absolute bullshit of course. And won’t work the way they expect.

But with none of the training.
It's on MN all the time
"My kid wanders off"
"My kid needs a screen in restaurants"
"My kid couldn't sit still in church "
It's all training. My children and lots of their friends would be fine. Some wouldn't. Have the Markle children been brought up to withstand solemn, boring events?

Not another "near catastrophic car chase"? Surely that one can be used again.

Of course they haven't.... it's the Harry and Meghan way - they want the privilege and status of a royal life, but without the effort.

Of course. It's such a toxic system, it gave them both severe mental health problems and forced them to run away, but that's definitely what they want for the kids.

If she does that it will be utterly terrifying for those children who appear to lead an incredibly insular life, not even allowed to look at a camera or mix with any of their family, imagine shoving them in front of the public and all the camera clicks, it would be utterly traumatising for them, Archie hid behind a pillar at Disney World for example. I really hope for the children’s sakes they don’t do this.

Absolutely. The whole point of the freedom flight was evidently to saddle the children with titles (and Lilibet her name, poor thing) from this awful, toxic, racist institution, and keep insisting that Harry is still a working royal 🤪

I've been thinking about this actually- the whole coming to the UK and meeting grandpa in a palace seems to be sold as a great thing, but is it? Two small children who seem to live a pretty quiet life with little travel, being flown to a different country to meet relatives they have never met, who live in weird, draughty buildings and have funny accents? I think a lot of small children would find it totally overwhelming and not fun at all.

Tbh, I would, and I'm 50!

The photo looks weird, Harry’s smile seems different, forced, maybe he has forgotten how to smile or else that was a hard kick in the goolies from Archie’s knee. The kids are hanging off him, yet he is looking straight at the camera, in what looks like an uncomfortable hunch.

Anyway, at this point, those kids must have the most photographed backsides and bare feet of any celebrity kid.

Edited

There is something weird about Archie's right heel - strangely elongated.

Bad photoshop?

Probably

Like she did the dramatic shushing in BP to get papped with the Tindall and Phillips kids

... and rolled down the car window to get papped

... and the pap got her on the staircase in BP at the Queens funeral

The paps clearly know where and when she is going to pull these stunts to she's obviously not too worried about security....

This is what Meghan expected of her parents though. She thought her father who was living a very reclusive life in poor health, would be absolutely fine to fly over here just before the wedding to partake in a massive ceremony watched by millions , and in front of the RF whom he had never met . No worries at all. I mean, she didn't even think it important that he meet his future son in law before flying over! Her mother arrived a few days beforehand. Virtually no one her mother knew at the wedding , and her father would only have known his ex wife. So maybe it isn't surprising that she expects her children to fit right in without any issues at all. She's completely deluded.

That’s a big photoshop fail, unless the poor kid does have a limb impairment.

He’s not even the one and only British Spare Grin

He’s not even the one and only man to have married Meg.

He’s not even the one and only royal man who’s useless at everything and touches people inappropriately.

Too funny

Who was she shushing?!
