The saga of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continues to captivate the public, with the latest focus on their children, Archie, aged four, and Lilibet, aged two.
Despite their claims of privacy, their children are frequently in the media spotlight, leading to various conspiracy theories. Some skeptics argue that Archie and Lilibet are not real, suggesting that the children seen in photos are actually hired models. One particularly outlandish claim is that Meghan was seen carrying a doll during a stroll in Canada. Additionally, there are persistent rumors about surrogacy and "moon bumps," making their story seem like a daytime TV drama.
Recently, an article attempted to chronicle the lives of the Sussex children, but it was filled with inaccuracies, including incorrect birth dates. The article aimed to highlight key milestones, from Archie's birth and early days in England to Lilibet's debut in California. However, most of this information has already been extensively covered in various media snippets and documentaries.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are adept at managing their public image, occasionally sharing controlled glimpses of their children's lives through carefully curated photos and videos. Archie has been seen playing with relatives and engaging in various activities, while Lilibet has been shown more sparingly. Despite their vocal demands for privacy, they effectively use their children for public relations, continuously reminding the public of their roles as parents.
The article concluded with a reiteration of Harry's previous comments about their family size, stating that they plan to have no more than two children. This piece serves as another example of Meghan's skillful manipulation of public perception, using recycled information to maintain her pristine image.
This comes on the heels of reports confirming that King Charles has never met Lilibet. Royal commentator Chris Ship sparked a frenzy by revealing that, contrary to previous reports, King Charles has not met his granddaughter. It was long believed that the two-year-old met her grandfather during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee, but Chris dispelled this assumption, questioning whether Harry and Meghan would ever bring their children to meet the royal family.
Another commentator, Simon Vigar, also confirmed that King Charles has not met Lilibet during an episode of the "Scandal Mongers" podcast. According to Sussex PR sources, King Charles desires a stronger relationship with his American grandchildren. Archie reportedly loves the idea of his grandfather living in a castle, but Meghan worries that extravagant gifts from Charles might increase Archie's interest in his royal connections. Tom Quinn, a royal expert, suggested that Meghan has been encouraging Harry to ask his father to send simpler presents to avoid fostering a longing for Britain in their son.
Harry recently visited the UK for the Invictus Games, while Meghan stayed in California with their children. Although Charles does not see his grandchildren regularly, he is said to want to send lavish gifts to Archie and Lilibet as a way of showing he cares. Quinn believes that Charles, having mellowed with age, wants to be an indulgent grandparent and make up for what he sees as neglecting his own sons. Since King Charles last saw Archie in 2021, Archie has expressed a desire to visit the UK with his father. However, Meghan and Harry are reluctant to encourage this interest in his royal heritage.
In summary, the narrative surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children remains a topic of intense speculation and intrigue. Their approach to sharing their children's lives continues to generate both fascination and controversy, highlighting the ongoing complexities of their relationship with the royal family.
