Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, the first born of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, was welcomed in 2019. After that, the royal couple had to wait two years to welcome their second child, a girl, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. From the time they were born, the two kids have been kept away from the public eye.
As a result, the Sussexes’ US supporters are puzzled by the couple’s decision to hide their kids. Some people believe that the couple are attempting to be overly protective of the children.
Meghan Markle And Prince Harry’s US Supporters Wonder Why They Hide Their Children
In the latest episode of Royally Us, host Christina Garibaldi remarked, “They’re [Harry and Meghan] very protective of their children, which I totally understand, but if you are gonna give us some of that, shouldn’t you give us a little bit of that”.
Reacting to Christiana’s statement, PR expert Lida Citreon said, “That’s where it kind of goes to, you know, you don’t get to open the box just a little bit. That’s a really tricky one, it‘s tricky for business people, it’s tricky for celebrities, because authenticity doesn’t mean the same thing as transparency.”
She went on, “When you give an answer to be authentic means you are being genuine, you’re giving the truth, you’re speaking from the heart, doesn’t mean I have to tell you everything about me, but keeping your children, something we attach to part of your identity, private feels odd. It feels odd in this country [the US] when our kids are all over social media, in the most part.“
Ms. Citreon added, “I fully support them choosing boundaries and setting up guard rails so that there are certain topics, like we don’t need to know about their love life, but we’d love to see their kids. We’d love to see them as a family. I think that could go a lot to endear us, I understand there’s a lot of risk to that, there‘s a lot of risk being very well-known too.”
The Sussexes’ Christmas card picture from 2021 featured their two kids. As seen in the sweet photo, Harry and Meghan are sitting in a chair with the Duchess holding up their daughter, whom they appear to be admiring.
