It appears that there may be some tension brewing within the Sussex household. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem to have differing opinions regarding whether their children, Archie and Lilibet, should make appearances on Meghan's upcoming Netflix show. There have been significant arguments about the children leading up to their trip to Nigeria.
Meghan has been making waves with her latest venture, American Riviera Orchard, a lifestyle brand that includes various products like home décor and food items. Now, she is collaborating with Netflix for a cookery show. However, it seems that there are troubles in paradise. While Meghan wants to involve their children in the show, Harry is not on board with the idea. Reports suggest that he is adamant about keeping Archie and Lilibet away from the spotlight.
The source claims that Harry's resistance stems from his own negative experiences with press intrusion in his life and that of his late mother, Princess Diana. This has caused a rift between Harry and Meghan regarding their decision to involve their children. Meghan, on the other hand, sees the show as an opportunity to showcase the motherhood aspect of her life, much like Kate occasionally includes her children in work events. The insider explains that Meghan understands Harry's concerns but believes that being in the spotlight isn't entirely negative. She feels that Harry shouldn't judge everything based on his past and what he went through. Although Meghan acknowledges that Archie and Lilibet have a different situation due to their parents' status, she wants to demonstrate to Harry that they can involve their children in their projects, as they will never be able to live completely anonymously.
Meghan hopes that Harry will eventually come around to the idea. The couple is scheduled to visit Nigeria in May for talks on the Invictus Games. However, some royal experts claim that this visit is an attempt to overshadow the royal family. Charlotte Griffiths, a writer for The Mail on Sundays, suggests that the Sussexes' UK relatives are not pleased with their latest announcement. She believes that they are constantly trying to outshine the royal family and that their real motivation is to generate content for Netflix. They want to maintain a quasi-royal image and continue conducting quasi-tours as if they are still members of the royal family. Griffiths finds it ironic that they are visiting a Commonwealth country while previously criticizing the Commonwealth as "Empire 2.0."
Royal author Phil Dampier expresses concerns that Harry and Meghan's actions may strain the Royal Family's ties to the Commonwealth. He highlights the irony that Queen Elizabeth wanted them to be ambassadors for the Commonwealth, spreading goodwill among its nations. However, they declined that role as royals and now seem selective about the invitations they accept from Commonwealth countries. Dampier also suggests that the Sussexes are attempting to establish their own rival court and embark on their own royal roadshow.
It appears that Meghan and Harry are at odds over whether their children should be involved in Meghan's Netflix show. Their differing views have caused disagreements, and their upcoming trip to Nigeria has raised suspicions among royal experts about their intentions. The situation raises questions about the future of their relationship with the royal family and their ties to the Commonwealth.
