Criticism of Meghan’s Show Strategy

Commenting on Meghan’s professional ventures, Vickers suggested she has struggled to find the success she hopes for. “All the things that she does seem to me not to be the success that she would have wished for them. And therefore she keeps, you know, coming up with new ideas, reinventing herself, reinventing things,” he said.

He criticized her decision to use her children in promoting the show, calling it “wrong,” and pointed to how British leaders handle family visibility. “You know, most of our Prime Ministers, the only time you see the children is when they’re leaving Downing Street, when they sort of take them by the hand and lead them out, you know.”

Experts Highlight Harry’s Protective Nature

Neuropsychologist Dr. Sanam Hafeez echoed the view that Harry may have been uncomfortable with the photos. Speaking to Nicki Swift, she explained, “When someone spends their childhood in the public eye, they often feel like they never truly had control over their image. As adults, this can make them very protective when it comes to their children, wanting to shield them from similar experiences.”

A friend of Harry’s also told PEOPLE that the Prince is especially cautious about his children’s safety. “He wants them to lead as normal a life as possible without the fear of kidnapping or harm. Harry is determined to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself,” the source said, referencing Princess Diana’s tragic death.

Despite the criticism, Meghan has continued to shield Archie and Lilibet’s identities by covering their faces with emojis or photographing them from behind. While she uses these tactics to maintain a sense of privacy, the debate over whether the children should appear at all in promotional material remains contentious.
