A royal expert has provided an explanation as to why the public has not seen a clear picture of the faces of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children in recent years. According to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the issue spans back to how Prince Harry dealt with the media when he was a child.

Speaking on A Right Royal podcast, offering an explanation, the expert said: "My understanding of this or up to a certain stage is that Harry would much rather his children were not seen. He doesn't want them to be tapped."

He added: "He's got this idea that if he takes them outside of Montecito that there's a horde of us out there trying to take pictures of his kids – they're not by the way."

The expert also explained Meghan Markle grew up differently in California and therefore would not want to hide the children away. He said: "She doesn't want to hide them away and we've seen this haven't we more and more with the use of of Lilibet and Archie."

Both Archie, five, and Lilibet, five, are being featured more in photos on Instagram since Meghan re-joined the platform at the start of 2025.
