Prince Harry, Meghan Markle 'at odds' over Lilibet, Archie's future in spotlight

Following the public attention Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's kids received after pulling them off their new school in the UK, the Sussex are caught up in an argument over Lilibet and Archie's future in the spotlight.

As per a report by Radaronline.com, The duke and Duchess of Sussex are "clashing over" how much their children's life should be exposed

And, a source claimed "the heart of the disagreement" between Harry and Meghan is that they "are coming at this from almost opposite life experiences,"

"Harry never had any say over becoming a public figure – cameras, headlines and enormous worldwide interest were part of his existence virtually from birth," the insider suggested.

Where as "Meghan's experience was completely different because she entered the entertainment industry as an adult and actively built a public profile."

Because of their different childhood, Harry and Meghan have "very different perspectives on what visibility means for their children."

As for what Harry wants? The "most important thing" for him "is preserving Archie and Lilibet's ability to make their own decision when they're old enough to understand what that decision involves."

The tattler continued, "He doesn't want choices made during their childhood to create a public identity that follows them for the rest of their lives."

The insider further explained Harry's perspective, "His own experience has taught him that once people become invested in your personal life, drawing a boundary later can be incredibly difficult."

On contaray Meghan "believes Archie and Lilibet will attract attention whatever she and Harry do, because of who their parents are and their connection to the royal family," the source claimed.

And "completely shutting everything down could actually increase fascination and speculation rather than reduce it."

Meghan believes in a middle ground, the bird chirped, "They occasionally share carefully selected moments without surrendering control of the children's private lives."

However, the mom-of-two "strongly rejects the suggestion that this means preparing Archie and Lilibet for careers in entertainment or deliberately turning them into celebrities."

The source claimed that Meghan's suggestion "hasn't completely reassured Harry" because he knows how quickly seemingly harmless interest can escalate when the public feels an attachment to somebody from childhood."

Moreover, Harry "doesn't want Archie or Lilibet discovering years from now that decisions were effectively made for them before they could have a voice," the tattler added.
