Harry and Meghan 'are not the same' as Royal Family as expert pinpoints 1 key difference

A PR expert has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are "not the same" as the Royal Family in one key way. Since stepping down from royal duties and moving to the US, Harry and Meghan have largely made the decision to keep their children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, out of the spotlight.

Speaking to the Express, PR expert Rhea Freeman says that this decision makes the couple different from their royal relatives - especially the likes of the William and Kate, Prince and Princess of Wales.

Meghan has made the decision earlier this year to share various pictures of her children via her Instagram account. She has, however, made sure protect their privacy, like many parents in the public eye, she chooses to show them from the back or by covering their faces with emojis.

Speaking of the way Meghan chooses to protect Archie and Lilibet's privacy, Ms Freeman said: "It might seem odd given the imagery that’s shared around of children within the Royal Family, but Harry and Meghan are not the same.

"The public can not expect to be so critical of them and yet still expect access to the children that could, potentially, compromise their safety."

She has added that, if Lilibet and Archie weren't featured in the second series of Meghan's show, With Love, Meghan, it would likely be due to their protection and safety.

Discussing the second series, which is set to be released on Netflix tomorrow, she added: "With the criticism the couple have faced, and the regular mentions around security, not showing the children’s faces on TV makes perfect sense as a way to help keep them more protected and safe."

The last time that Meghan posted Archie and Lilibet was in a post dedicated to Harry for Father's Day in June.

The sweet video shows personal moments, likely captioned by Meghan, of Harry with their children.

Although Meghan has made the decision to largely post pictures with their faces covered, in some clips in this video, you can see their son's face.
