“Harry and Meghan are incredibly proud of their children, and when they are a little older and better able to travel, there is no doubt they will be taken on some of the couple’s tours,” Quinn told the Mirror.

“Meghan is acutely aware of what a great look this will be, the charming royal couple with their charming royal children will attract the sort of publicity that Harry and Meghan crave, especially now that they are so determined to be billionaire entrepreneurs,” he added.

While Harry and Meghan can and will decide what their children’s lives are like until they are 18, after that there is little they can do. With that said, a source told the Express that Harry and Meghan have a plan set for their children.

As per an “extremely well-placed” Express source, the Sussexes will allow their children free rein as soon as they turn 18. At that point, Archie and LIlibet will be free to choose whatever future path suits them.

Meanwhile, according to the source, their parents will encourage them to take an active role in the family’s Archewell Foundation and the Invictus Games.

“Harry and Meghan are very keen to allow their children to choose their own paths,” the source told Express. “They’re very keen for them to focus on things they feel most passionate about while also supporting the family’s causes – like the Archewell Foundation and the Invictus Games.”

“There’s a conscious effort to keep the children out of the public eye as much as possible until they reach the age of 18, so they can form their own opinions and personalities.

The source added: “Once they reach the age of maturity, it’s going to be very much about what they want to do, and what they choose to support. I suppose it will be like the cool cousins abroad who can live their lives the way they wish while the Wales children will be more about duty and formality.”

The Express source explained that Harry and Meghan — like Prince William and Kate Middleton — want their children to have “as normal an upbringing as possible.” However, that doesn’t mean the couple will completely disregard possibly bringing Archie and Lilbet with them to public events, so long as said events are non-exploitative.

“There could be the odd time the Sussex children might attend very important key events where their inclusion makes sense,” the source continued. “The Invictus Games in Canada next year is very much about supporting the Invictus family and building a sense of community, with attendees being encouraged to bring their children, so that’s something where their inclusion would make sense.”

“I cherish watching them grow every day”

The Express source concluded: “But it’s not something that either Harry or Meghan want to adopt as a rule.”

Although Harry and Meghan have chosen not to share pictures or bring their children to public events, they have spoken about them several times. In an interview with People Magazine, Harry opened up about his 40th birthday and branded his children as “the best gift” he has ever received.

“The best gift I’ve ever been given is, without a doubt, my kids. I cherish watching them grow every day, and being their dad brings me immense joy,” the Duke said.¨

A Us Weekly source offered some insight into Archie and Lilibet’s lives, saying they are “well-mannered.” Moreover, the source said Archie is “sweet and curious and playful,” while Lilibet is “vibrant and happy.”

As mentioned, the Sussexes want to give their children a normal childhood.

“They take the kids to school, they pick them up, and they are very active and present with them throughout the day,” the insider said.

Harry has traveled more than Meghan in recent years. The Duke has visited the UK a couple of times for reasons other than seeing his family members, and a few days ago was in New York City for The Diana Award, a charity established in his mother’s memory.

The way Prince Harry keeps in touch with his children when away

Harry participated in a panel discussion on mental health, which was joined by Dr. Tessy Ojo, CEO of the Diana Award, and two recipients of the Diana Legacy Award: 18-year-old Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang and 27-year-old Christina Williams.

Before the Duke went on stage at the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit in New York City on September 23, he made sure to call his wife and beloved children, which he did in the cutest way.

Speaking to People, the Diana Legacy Award recipients revealed that Harry Facetimed with his children backstage, giving them a ‘virtual tour’ of the space.

“He is just so kind-hearted. Not only was he helping us get comfortable with speaking on stage, but he comforted us after as well,” Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang told People Magazine. “And backstage, he was actually calling Meghan. I thought that was just so sweet, and it helped humanize him. He made sure we had no nerves at all.”

Christina Williams continued: “Here is someone who is in a high-level role, who really cares about young people, cares about our voices and our actions. They say you never want to meet your heroes, but I met someone who I admire and I am leaving the experience still maintaining that admiration, or even more admiration, to know that he really cares about the causes that he represents.”
