Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are thought to have very different views when it comes to sharing photographs of their children with the public.

This is the view of Matt Wilkinson, the royal editor of the Sun, who discussed the topic while appearing on Hello! magazine’s Right Royal podcast.

Also appearing on the episode were the podcast hosts Emmy Griffiths and Andrea Caamano, as well as HELLO!’s royal editor, Emily Nash.

Meghan’s use of the children on social media was among the topics discussed on this week’s episode – which also touched on Prince Harry having a ‘difficult month’ after leaving the charity Sentebale.

However, his wife, 43, has reportedly been having a much better time recently, after launching her business As Ever, and seeing the products sell out within minutes, despite the less than stellar reviews of her recent Netflix show With Love, Meghan.

In the run-up to the programme and brand launching, Meghan has been sharing a lot more content on social media – notably via Instagram.  

Among the pictures and videos she has shared online, are some featuring glimpses of the Sussex’s two children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. 

For example, one of her posts, shared several days before the launch of her Netflix show, showed Meghan and her three-year-old daughter joined by ‘Auntie’ Serena Williams, with the trio playing a game of Candy Land.

Another video the Duchess shared featured Archie’s voice, as he helped her to water some plants. 

Speaking during the podcast, Matt Wilkinson gave his opinion on how Harry may feel about the children appearing on social media.

According to the Sun’s royal editor, he does not believe the Duke would be overjoyed.  

‘My understanding of this is that, up to a certain stage, Harry would much rather his children were not seen,’ Matt said.

He added: ‘Whereas Meghan grew up in California, she once said she would like to have a more California style lifestyle, take them down the beach, go out, do stuff. She doesn’t want to hide them away.’

He noted that the Duchess does not share her children’s faces in images and videos she posts – something the panel said Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie also do when it comes to images of their children. 

When appearing on the Drew Barrymore Show last month, Meghan revealed she had enlisted the help of her children to make cookies for the show’s crew and audience – and shared a short video clip (here, she is seen with Archie)

While the panel discussed the possibility of Archie and Lilibet getting snapped when they are older, Matt said: ‘I think Harry’s living in [like things are] the way they were  when he was a child […] the media landscape has shifted.’

Many of the posts Meghan shared on Instagram featuring glimpses of the children were in the run-up to the release of With Love, Meghan. The video Meghan shared featuring Lilibet (alongside Serena Williams) was tagged with the caption: ‘3 days until the party begins. All are invited @Netflix.’

Archie and Lilibet were also featured briefly in a short clip played when Meghan appeared on the Drew Barrymore show at the beginning of March.

During the episode, the Duchess revealed she had enlisted her children to help in the kitchen as she baked hundreds of cookies for guests attending the Drew Barrymore Show.

While appearing on the episode, Meghan revealed that she made treats for the entire cast and crew, as well as all the lucky people who snagged tickets to the show. A clip of her working on the desserts then flashed across the screen, and it showed her and Prince Harry’s two young children lending a hand.
