Prince Harry issues stern warning to Meghan Markle

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex is said to be concerned about how much public exposure his and Meghan Markle's children should have.

As the Duchess of Sussex shared a Valentine's Day post showing Harry holding their daughter Princess Lilibet, it marked a shift from Sussexes' commitment to protecting the privacy of their children.

Insiders told Closer Magazine, "The frenzy of interest in the kids is in another stratosphere. It’s more than Meghan and Harry could ever generate."

Adding, "Meghan would never suggest throwing them into Hollywood and letting other people take control, but she does see the benefit of giving them a platform."

As per sources the former Suits alum is always "very intentional" with her posts which involve their kids. "There were hours of discussions about the Valentine’s Day post. Harry had to be consulted and sign off on everything, which he did after a lot of convincing from Meghan," the source noted.

The insider said, "It’s not the first time they’ve been split over something like this. It’s no secret he isn’t at all keen on her using the kids for her social media. He begrudgingly agreed to this shot, though he can't bear to think what the future holds for them - he knows what a struggle it is to live a life in the spotlight."

They went on to add that for Harry it would feel like a "betrayal" if they "inadvertently open the floodgates of publicity onto Archie and Lilibet."

While it was just a casual photo snapped at a special moment, it reportedly took a lot of work for Meghan to get Harry to agree. Prince Harry is adamant that he doesn't want their kids "turned into stars."
