The way King Charles has treated his two Sussex grandchildren is deplorable. It makes me mad whenever I think about it, honestly. People can argue about the despicable way Charles has treated Prince Harry and Meghan, but everyone is an adult in that situation. But Charles has treated two innocent children – his two youngest grandchildren, his two redheaded grandbabies – with such disrespect and lack of affection. It’s shocking that he isn’t called out on it more often. Charles doesn’t want to see Archie and Lili, he doesn’t want to be in their lives, he doesn’t want them to visit the UK, and he has refused invitations to visit them in America. Well, Charles’s dogsh-t behavior is the basis for an idiotic Daily Mail exclusive about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. After falsely claiming that Prince Harry is “upset” that Meghan posted photos of their kids, now sources claim that Harry wants Meghan to post photos of Archie and Lili… so Charles can see what he’s missing.
Meghan Markle’s glossy return to Instagram, complete with sun-drenched bike rides, home videos and intimate snaps of Archie and Lilibet may look like just a slick rebrand. But behind the soft-focus family footage there may lie a deeper motive.
The Daily Mail’s Spotlight has spoken to an insider who claims that the real reason Prince Harry is suddenly happy to see his children’s faces shared online is a ‘desperate’ one.
‘Harry is completely heartbroken,’ an insider close to the family said. ‘His dad refuses to see him or the kids – not even on Zoom… It’s a last resort. He’s desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he’s missing.’
The insider added that Harry has made repeated attempts to reach out to his father over the years. ‘He’s tried everything – calls, letters… But nothing’s worked,’ they said. ‘This is his way of saying, ‘Look at what you’re missing.’
I think Meghan posts family photos because she’s incredibly proud of her husband and children. I think Harry is fine with Meghan posting family photos because he’s so proud of her and the kids. That’s 99% of it – parental pride, pride in their beautiful family. Are there other aspects? For sure. For Meghan, I think she’s emphasizing that she’s living a beautiful life in California, away from all of those dreadful people, and no, she’s not dying to go back to the UK. For Harry, I think it’s possible that he hopes his father and brother see photos of his kids too, although I have no idea what emotion he hopes to inspire. Harry can be so earnest about the left-behinds, he probably genuinely thinks “well, I hope they’re happy for me and my family.” Spoiler for Harry: Charles and William are not, in fact, happy for him or his beautiful family.

I find this very interesting. These are also the same sources that say Chuckie is sad that he doesn’t see his grandkids because mumble mumble he’s a controlling racist mumble mumble but he’d be a great grandfather to those biracial (but aggressively ginger) kids if only Harry would come to heel and crawl back on his belly!
So these two narratives (both false) that Harry wants to show his dreadful father what he’s missing in his life and Chuckie misses those kids oh so much running concurrently is interesting to me.
Very confusing to say the least. Personally, I think both Meg and Haz just want their children to be raised normally and for the kids to have as normal a childhood as possible and have pleasant memories of their childhood. There is no other agenda for any of the Sussexes. And the Fail’s sources are nothing but their butt.
Tiny, Tiny percentage could be directed at them over there (I hope like us supporters, Harry & Meghan realize that the UK Royals do not care about them in any positive way whatsoever)
I would say that Meghan (& Harry) is engaging with people and more importantly her supporters and fans.
I also think it is their way of living out loud and free.
I personally don’t believe that Harry gives any f*cks to what Charles thinks or feels. H&M have a large group of people that actually care about them. Those are the opinions that might matter. We’ve all seen it at some point. People who’ve had bad bios for parents. Doesn’t matter if you’re royality. Millions of people move along from their sh*t parent/s.
The Sussexes are simply living their own authentic life.imo
“Prince Harry is suddenly happy to see his children’s faces shared online is a ‘desperate’ one.”
Ummm… This isn’t happening. At all. Those ppl over there are fing crazy.
He has not released photos of faces of the children as they look today
Exactly this story is rubbish, just printed for clicks and as for the, yet again unnamed source, they are no friend of H and M, If they exist. The DM is famous for its untruths.
They publish easily proven lies all the time. It truly must be exhausting for Harry at times.
I think harry knows his father is cold and indifferent to those children. Charles could have picked up the phone and arranged a visit and has years to do this. I doubt he sees much of the Wales children. Just those formal appearances.
I’m sure Harry knows chuck has no interest in any of his grandchildren, except george- kind of.
And i don’t in any way think the Sussex’s post pics of their kids “for charles to see”, that is just Mail fan fiction.
But i will 100% buy that it makes Harry sad that his dad not only is “mad” at him, but does not really care about him, and doesn’t care at all about his grandkids.
That is a painful thing no matter who your family is. And how much you know and understand it is the way it is, i still think it is painful to see your children rejected by the only living grandparent you can give them.
I agree that Charles doesn’t see the Wales’ kids very often either but I think that’s on William as much as Charles. William’s rocky relationship with his father makes for a rocky relationship with the grandkids.
Tessa: wasn’t that clearly on the balcony: Charles never talked, looked or touched the Wales children. Even when Louis turned round to get guidance from him. Seeing this Harry’s kids are missing nothing.
They tried to lie and say that the only reason Charles was avoiding talking to Harry was because of his court case regarding security, but that is now over and they’ve confirmed through this article that he still hasn’t attempted to contact his son or his biracial grandchildren. The truth is that it never mattered whether or not the children’s faces are seen publicly or not because loving and compassionate grandparents don’t need to see their grandchildren’s faces to care and love them. His refusal to see, talk or have a relationship with them is never going to change because Charles has always lacked the ability to love and have compassion for anyone other than himself. That is especially the case for anyone who reminds him of Diana, who I believe was the first person who caused him to realize that he is a trash human being and him coming out of his mother first didn’t make him any better than anyone else. Harry, Meghan and their children are perfect reminders of Diana in so many ways. The children (and Harry) of course because of their appearances with Spencer red hair. Harry and Meghan for their work ethic, compassion and the support they receive from the public is a reminder of how much they and Diana are at being royal than he is.
“Harry is completely heartbroken”
Ummm no, he isn’t. I wish I was as heartbroken as Harry.
Anyway, this sounds like projection from the Fail. They ARE missing out. All that money they made while they made Meghan’s life hell in the UK…all gone.
Look at the Sussexes thriving in sunny California! And what do they have instead? Rude Lazy MIA at Ascot.
The DM and the Rota are still in the bathing I g phase oh their grief. The vacillate between bargaining and anger but never seem to reach acceptance. You tortured a family and endangered them with the help of their evil yet boring as hell family members. You lost the cool ones and you and your evil lazy left behinds are stuck together forever.
I don’t think that is the specific goal in mind. As other infuencers, it is mostly about wanting to sell their products, and creating an authentic and relatable image.
Why does it have to be anything? Why can’t she just want to share moments as millions of other people do on their instagram account? And when did she state she was an influencer?
Meghan has said her personal Instagram is personal – marketing is on the As Ever Instagram.
I agree with EM and Eurydice that Meghan’s Instagram is just a continuation of her Instagram prior to royal life. She isn’t an influencer and isn’t trying to be one. She’s just returned to sharing parts of her life she is happy and proud of. There isn’t an agenda, just like there is no agenda for anyone else who shares the same things that she does. She has two different accounts because one is about business, as any business would have and the other is her own personal account. She’s happy and wants to share it with us, that’s who she’s always been.
Did the father’s day video make the DM finally realise that Harry’s ok with Meghan posting pictures of Archie and Lili? Furthermore we barely see pictures of the children’s faces only when they were babies. At least this pieced confirmed that the story about Charles got a video of Archie and Lili singing happy birthday to him was a lie.
Frankly that argument never made any sense, its not as if Harry didn’t realize that she was sharing pictures and videos. He’s on the other side of the camera most of the time, because you can hear his voice.
All the face shots that they share are either of them as newborns or infants / toddlers and in Archie’s case where we already knew what he looked like. No one who’s seen those shots would be able to piece together a little kid walking past them that was Archie or Lilibet.
I think the British media has created a fantasy in addition to the fact that they are upset that they no longer have any scoops, where videos like the one released on Father’s Day would have gone to them. Instead they get curated shots from one photo shoot that’s used for three or four subsequent releases.
The BM/BRF like to pretend that H&M don’t make decisions together when they’ve(H&M) have CLEARLY stated they’re a team. It must break the black hearts of the BM/BRF that H&M walk step in step.
I speak from personal experience.
When I became a parent, I saw my parents actions with new eyes. It was a bit of a slow unveiling, but gained momentum rapidly. And I couldn’t unsee what I saw. But most importantly – my parents were clearly people I needed to protect my children / family from. I put boundaries to protect myself and my kids in place – but they would be so casually cruel and hurtful, even just over zoom.
They have seen one of my children once, when he was 18 months old. The other one three times. They are both tweens now. I haven’t spoken to my parents in a long long time.
I have absolutely no regrets. I used to wish that my parents were better kinder people – but honestly the peace I got from leaving them behind was beyond worth trying to make something work with them. Even if they were kinder.
I can’t imagine Harry doesn’t feel the same.
Parenthood really forces you to face yourself. I don’t think they post photos of their kids to score points with people. I had a very point-scoring stepfamily and it was like….. nah. Not inflicting this on another generation. My child is not going through this. The dysfunction that you roll your eyes at, that you sigh at, really becomes unacceptable when it’s directed at your kids. What is actually important? What actually makes you happy? How can you be true to yourself? Can you stand your ground? Do you know your rights? You are now the advocate for at least one vulnerable person as they navigate the world. And it becomes impossible to *fake* it. I doubt the Sussexes care what the royals make of their insta. I remember vividly when my stepbrother emailed me in all caps, about the arrival of his and his wife’s second child, “JANE IS PREGNANT!!!” Jane is not her name. Now, Jane had been a wee bit problematic. And I think one of the reasons Meghan’s mythical persona got so much traction is that some sisters in law can be problematic. She was never very approachable or friendly and she had nasty remarks to make on semi-regular occasions. We all gave her a wide berth. So being *expected* to be giddy for her was just…. Nah. Sorry. Couldn’t even fake it. I spoke to him on the phone and just heard myself sighing, “That’s great,” with a palpable downbeat vibe. Like, greaaaaaat. If you don’t share someone’s joy, you just …don’t. But that’s the end of the road. Do I follow them on FB? Actually I blocked them. Cause I really don’t need the updates. And I don’t want them following me. This family was pretty dysfunctional before Meghan came on the scene. My family was pretty dysfunctional before Jane dropped in. It’s just… when you want to start the whole cycle again, you either have it out with your sh*tty relatives, or you cut ties. And start again.
PC pays no attention to these children, because that’s how it’s done in the monarchy: if someone is deemed “not worthy”, people are excluded, banished, in the hope of shaming them. This is just one of many examples by which the world currently recognizes how extremely outdated a monarchy (and its world view) is. As was discussed many times before, there is no way for H&M to win in the eyes of Salty Island – which is why they live an unapologetically happy life without burden themselves with the opinions of others. So why an article like this? Well, ostracizing and shaming someone who doesn’t care makes you look even dumber than you already do….
@Tara: done in the British monarchy. It couldn’t be another European monarchy. For example, Johann Friso who so tragically died later, was never excluded from the family when he married Mabel and I can’t imagine that queen Beatrix has any understanding for Charles as father and grandfather.
The same for Sweden.
@Blubb: thank you for the differentiation, that is interesting to know. I never followed other royal families as much.
Again, Salty Island fails to see anything except in relation to themselves. I also believe that Meghan is sharing their love, pride and joy in their family. It keeps Charles up to date along with the rest of the world. Nothing special for Charles, the disgraceful husband, father, and grand-father. Camilla has spoken about how Charles played with her grandchildren when they were small. If Charles did the same with the Wales kids, I should think we’d know about it. I get the impression that Charles was a decent father when Diana was alive- I remember her saying that she thought Harry was closer to Charles than William. Harry has always loved his undeserving father, it seems.
I’m sure that Harry is a more loving person generally
I only hope Charles sees these photos and realizes, somewhere in his cold, dark excuse for a heart, that the Sussexes are leading lives of joy … while he and the rest of the left-behinds are miserable.
These are beautiful pictures, a beautiful family and a beautiful relationship between parents and children, where you can see love, joy, care, fun and a beautiful, safe, warm home with loving parents. Of course Charles and William will be furious to see these pictures and videos, because not only can they not compete with Harry in this respect, but they will also see it as an attack… 😉 Unfortunately, neither of them created a home or a family for their children, so they will hate Harry
Well, I am a petty B, so I DO hope Charles and William et al see these pictures and realize what they’re missing.
but alas, Harry and Meghan appear to be better people than I am so I don’t think this is about Charles and the rest at all
News flash Charles is a self-absorbed, emotionally unavailable father and grandfather who is only interested in being King and his marriage to Camilla. He does not give a rat’s ass about his sons by Diana let alone grandchildren.
I will forever be confused how the daily mail can write two stories saying the opposite of each other and people still believe everything. You don’t know what he’s doing where he’s going but you know his thoughts and feelings. Desperate? Because he is posted on his wife’s instagram that she’s only had since January? A slick rebrand?? what even does that mean? She’s posting normal ass things that any mother wife or person on instagram would post. Still keeping the kids faces private, she’s shown baby and toddler photos before showing their faces, this is nothing new or changed from what they showed in netflix.
The tabloid strategy is to box H&M in so that they can be attacked further if they try to defend themselves from any angle.
My theory is that Harry is being very saavy here. He has known who his father is since 2020, maybe earlier. But in always saying to the media and in his book that he loves his father and has compassion and is open to reconciliation, and has reached out — he removed any narrative that charles et al can try that says Harry is being ungrateful, spiteful son to his poor elderly pa. Zero opening for that narrative. Master class.
The Daily Fail aren’t intuitive and they don’t have any access or knowledge of what the Sussexes think, feel or what their motives are. They are just blowing hot air into the wind and hoping the idiots who read their lies believe them. They deceivingly used the word “insider” without any details as to who the insider is or who they have access to, because they know that whoever they are, if there actually is one, they definitely aren’t someone with access to Harry and Meghan. Harry and Meghan have surrounded themselves with people that have protected and supported them and no one, absolutely no one in that circle would ever communicate with the likes of the Fail. Harry hasn’t released any recent photos of their children’s faces and the ones that Meghan released only give a small glimpse of their children’s faces when they were much younger and their appearances wouldn’t look the same as they would today. I think that they both would have happily shared glimpses of their children’s faces with the supporters and fans. They shared glimpses even when they lived in the UK. Meghan was part of Instagram before the royals and she was always happy to share parts of their lives with her supporters and I don’t think that would have changed if it weren’t for the royal family and the medias abuse as well as the threats to theirs and their children’s lives. This idea that Harry is desperate to share photos of his children in order to get Charles to want to have a relationship with his children, is complete BS. Charles is the racists trash father who removed their security, home and has never condemned the racists attacks and threats to the lives of his biracial grandchildren or their parents. Charles is the same bastard who was angry at Harry’s birth that he was a boy and a redhead, so we are to believe that Harry thinks that this racist a-hole would see biracial redheads and suddenly long for a relationship with them? These people are morons. Complete idiots. I am always surprised that the Fail is still standing when I read stupid articles like this.
The Fail and other newspapers of a similar ilk rely on their readers lack of thinking.
My mom (almost 95!) was never interested in my daughter, who is now a mother of 3. And my mom has never met these adorable great grand children. She simply does not care. KC is the same. Luckily I somehow managed to be a good mom and love being a grand parent. Harry is the same, able to be a good human, husband & father because of what’s inside of him. It’s not easy having an uncaring parent but eventually you can accept it & move on knowing it’s really their loss & not yours.
Chuckles should lean hard into what EVERYONE already knows. He has no familial affection or connection to those children because they have “tainted” the left-behinds with their Black blood. Why won’t the rota rodents and their loyal readers just say aloud what they truly feel? The Sussex children wouldn’t be personas non grata if they were fully white. This is an open secret. Family members (and I believe it was several, not just KC3 and KKKhate) fretted about “how dark” unborn Archie would be and how that was going to look in family photos.
At this point, I wouldn’t bat an eyelash if H&M guard Archie and Lili FROM Charles and the left-behinds until they can fend for themselves.
History will be so damned unkind to this group of bigots.
I don’t remember the exact words Meghan used at Oprah’s to describe these concerns about skin color, but it seems that instead of saying directly what was said, she was too general, which left room for interpretation and simplifying the topic, and that was a mistake. In a situation where the media and haters watch every statement by Meghan under a microscope, there should be no understatements. Wondering about the skin color of a child in the case of a mixed couple is something obvious, normal, and I would be interested in it too. To sum up, there is nothing wrong with it. Only I remember exactly what words were said. To deal another blow to Meghan, the media reported almost with satisfaction that a royal person – here the name was mentioned and it was neither Kate nor Charles – was terrified, because quote: “..what will happen if he is born black, and what, he will be a prince?” After critical comments, the article disappeared, but I remind you that the patent, which was introduced a few years earlier, before the birth of WK’s younger children, on the title of prince from birth was quickly abolished. As we know, HM’s children have almost milky skin, and yet for 7 months after the Queen’s death, RF did not update the titles of Harry’s children on the website, who finally did it himself on the day of Libet’s christening on March 8, 2023, announcing Princess Lilbet Diana. Well, they are white, but for them black, which they do not want.
Korar I think that you are the one generalizing what both Meghan and Harry said in the Oprah interview by giving more credit to what the UK media said instead of the very clear and specific words that Meghan and Harry used during the interview. They both specifically said that in multiple conversations there were “CONCERNS about what the children’s potential skin tone would be” and “HOW THAT WOULD MAKE THE ROYAL FAMILY LOOK”. Neither of those statements are general or can be misconstrued as normal conversations that you would have about a mixed race child. The word CONCERN itself refers to fear, uneasiness or distress. No one, absolutely no one, fears or is uneasy or distressed about the potential eye or hair color of a child because fear, uneasiness or distress implies that there is something to wrong. So even though they were careful not to name the person or persons who had these CONCERNS and HOW THEIR CHILDREN’S SKIN TONE MIGHT MAKE THE ROYAL FAMILY LOOK, the language and phrasing used in the conversations makes it very clear that the conversations weren’t normal conversations a person has about a mixed race child or any other child. So no it wasn’t a mistake made by Meghan (or Harry) to stress the language and choice of wording used in those extremely racist conversations they had with Harry. The only mistake anyone could make is thinking that a racist tabloid would report on the racist royal family fairly and accurately. The final skin tone of the children is besides the point of the racist family, because to racists it’s the knowing of their black lineage that matters. That is why there are people in jail for making racist threats against their milky skinned children who are a quarter black in comparison to their half black mother.
To me, these billionaires seem like a vampire clan of the old kind. Everything they and their palace staff do doesn’t seem traditional and conservative, but cold, calculating, uninspired, loveless, bloodless and lifeless. And in places – I have to say it – primitive and uneducated. I only have to think of the embarrassing reactions to the throat singing of the two Inuit women. And every living person who approaches this family becomes as lifeless, blood-sucked and uninspired as they are, must leave or die. There are so many terrible historical examples. Children have no place in such a system and must be kept as far away from it as possible
I can’t speak for Harry , but I hope he knows that some people, blood or not don’t deserve space in the lives of your children because your children did not ask to be related to horrible people like chuck .Harry kids have an amazing grandmother in Doria and I bet she more than makes up for the lack of good grandfathers like dog shit Thomas and Charles .
