Meghan and Harry at odds over Archie and Lilibet’s public lives: Royal rift over raising royals?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be united in marriage, but when it comes to raising their royal children, the couple is reportedly clashing behind the scenes.

According to The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not on the same page about how much exposure their kids – Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3 – should have in the public eye.

Speaking on Hello! magazine’s Right Royal podcast, Wilkinson claimed that Harry is strongly opposed to putting his children in the spotlight, while Meghan is more open to a California-style, public-facing family life.

“My understanding of this is that, up to a certain stage, Harry would much rather his children were not seen,” Wilkinson said. “He’s got this idea that if he takes them outside of Montecito, there’s a horde of us out there trying to take pictures of his kids. They’re not, by the way!”

Meghan does things her way

Meghan, however, appears to have a different perspective. “She grew up in California,” Wilkinson continued. “She once said she’d like a more California-style lifestyle – take them down the beach, go out, do stuff. She doesn’t want to hide them away.”

That tension has seemingly played out in real-time through carefully curated public appearances. While Meghan has shared glimpses of the children, their faces are rarely shown – a likely compromise between Harry’s desire for privacy and Meghan’s growing lifestyle brand.

In recent months, Markle has shared back-facing photos of Lilibet on social media – including a snap from the launch of her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, and a family boating moment on International Women’s Day.

Another image showed Lilibet spending time at home with family friend Serena Williams. And the family’s 2024 Christmas card featured Archie and Lilibet running to their parents – but again, no clear shots of their faces.

Is Markle using her children?

Wilkinson raised the question of whether Meghan is using her children to craft a specific brand image. “You could argue that Meghan isn’t exploiting the children – well, maybe she is – but she’s using them to display her brand. She’s a mother. A homemaker. Cooking at home.”

In her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the duchess is seen preparing for a children’s party – but none of the kids, including her own, make an appearance on screen.

The couple has yet to officially comment on the claims – but it seems that even in the royal-adjacent world of Montecito, parenting comes with its fair share of disagreements.

Liverpool scenarios: How Reds can win the Premier League title vs. Tottenham on Sunday

Getty Images Liverpool's commanding lead atop the Premier League table means that the Reds are inching closer and closer to their first title since the 2019-20 season, and that the day they officially win that trophy is right around the corner.As things stand, Liverpool have a 12-point lead on second-place Arsenal with five games to go, which makes it very unlikely that they will not end this season as England's champions. They could officially clinch the title as soon as this weekend, a signal title race is still very much in Liverpool's hands, and they will be able to win it outright when they return to play on Sunday.The Reds' impressive lead comes five years after their last Premier League title, which was the only time they won the accolade, coming during Jurgen Klopp's storied eight-year spell as the manager.

WATCH: USMNT star Christian Pulisic scores his 16th goal of season for AC Milan in win vs. Venezia

Getty Images Christian Pulisic scored the opening goal for AC Milan in Sunday's match against Venezia just a few days after winning 3-0 in the Derby della Madonnina in the Coppa Italia semifinal second leg against Inter. Pulisic, who joined AC Milan in the summer of 2023, has now scored his 16th goal with AC Milan during the 2024-25 season with the Rossoneri, marking what's already his best season of his career in terms of goals scored. The U.S. international scored 15 goals in all competitions in his first year at the club, but was able to surpass that in his second season at the club despite the disappointing season of the team, now coached by Portuguese manager Sergio Conceicao. Here's the goal from the 2-0 win: Up to now, Pulisic scored 10 Serie A goals, including the one against Venezia, […]

Shedeur Sanders, Will Howard headline the top five steals of the 2025 NFL Draft

Getty Images In more ways than one, Shedeur Sanders' draft experience largely told the tale of the 2025 NFL Draft. While 32 deserving players were selected on Day 1, Sanders and a bevy of other talented prospects had to wait one or even two extra days before hearing their names called. Every year, several players who were considered first-round talents were still on the board after the 32nd pick in the draft was made. But it seemed like this was especially the case this year, as this draft was praised more for its depth and less for its top-end talent. More than any other position, quarterbacks took a major hit in this year's draft. Before the draft, the expectation was that most of the top-10 QB prospects would be off the board midway through the third round. That didn't end up being […]
