Matt Wilkinson, the Sun’s royal editor, appeared on Hello! On Friday, the magazine’s Right Royal podcast said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle don’t agree on whether or not to put their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, in the spotlight.

He said that Harry used to prefer that his children not be seen, but this has changed.

He added that he doesn’t want them to be photographed by others. He thinks that if he takes them outside of their home in Montecito, many people will try to take pictures of his kids. But that’s not true!”

Wilkinson also said that Markle (43) “grew up in California and has even said that she would like to have a more California-style lifestyle, with things like going to the beach. She doesn’t want to hide them away.”

“We’ve seen this increasingly with the use of Lilibet and Archie. We don’t see their faces,” Wilkinson noted.

In recent months, Markle has only shared photos of her kids from the back. In February, she shared a picture of Lilibet when she launched the website for her new lifestyle brand, As Ever. On International Women’s Day in March, she posted photos of her daughter with Harry and “Auntie” Serena Williams at home.

Archie and Lilibet were in the Sussexes’ 2024 Christmas card in December. The card showed the brothers and sisters running to their parents.

“Some might say that Meghan isn’t taking advantage of the kids, but I’d argue she’s using them to flaunt her brand,” said Wilkinson. “But, you could also say she’s using them to promote herself. She’s a mother. She is a homemaker and loves cooking at home.

“In one episode of Meghan’s Netflix series, ‘With Love, Meghan,’ she gets ready for a kids’ party but doesn’t show any children,” said Wilkinson, adding that she thinks the Duchess of Sussex is using the children to promote her brand.

“I don’t mind her putting pictures of the children up,” Wilkinson said, adding, “I think Harry probably is not very happy.”

The Post has asked Harry and Markle’s representatives for comment.

Markle has recently shared photos of her children and has made rare comments about them while promoting her Netflix show and lifestyle brand.

Last month, she said on the “Drew Barrymore Show” that Archie and Lilibet have picked up on Harry’s British accent despite living in Montecito, CA.

She said that her children still use some British words when they speak. One example she gave was “zebra”. They have moments when they say words with a British accent, and because they speak in an American way, they use words that sound like his”.

“I think it’s adorable,” Markle said.
