“It’s all just PR,” one user commented, while another questioned their focus, writing, “Your 6-year-old is in the ocean — and you’re not even watching?”
Behind the scenes, insiders say Harry and Meghan may not fully agree on how much of their children’s lives should be public. Royal editor Matt Wilkinson claimed Harry prefers privacy, while Meghan is more open — especially as she builds her brand around motherhood and lifestyle.
Meghan’s Netflix series and her new brand As Ever have seen major success, but some critics accuse her of using her children to promote her image. Meghan, however, told, “I need to work, and I love to work. This is how I connect my home life and my work.”
As Archie and Lilibet grow up in California, far from royal life, fans continue debating whether the Sussexes are raising their kids freely — or keeping them in the spotlight.
