Meghan’s move can actually increase photographers interest.

A security source has revealed that King Charles grandchildren Archie and Lilibet face security threats because of their parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Speaking to royal expert Rob Shuter, the security source explains there is an important difference between protecting children’s privacy and protecting their security.

The security source says, “These children face security threats because of who their parents are.

“Showing their faces could make them easier to recognize, but it doesn’t create the danger. Their identity already makes them targets.”

The insider has made these remarks after photographers were spotted near Archie and Lilibet’s British school, and Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson slammed the behavior as “extraordinarily reckless.”

The royal expert said they are absolutely right. Photographers circling a school attended by young children is intrusive, irresponsible and potentially dangerous.

Rob also warned the Duchess that Meghan’s move can actually increase photographers interest.

The expert explained the harder a photograph is to obtain, the more valuable it becomes.

“Keeping faces hidden protects anonymity, but repeatedly teasing images like Meghan has can actually increase photographers’ interest,” a photo-industry source tells Rob for his Naughty But Nice.

The royal couple have every right to keep Archie and Lilibet private, and that nobody is entitled to see them. But the greatest security concern isn’t simply recognition, the expert said.

The protection source said, “Knowing what a child looks like is one thing.

“Knowing which school they attend, where they live and when they’ll arrive is far more dangerous.”
