Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have adopted a new strategy for their children Archie and Lilibet for visiting Britain.

According to royal expert Richard Kay the success of Harry's quiet trip to Britain with his family shows that anonymity is in fact the best form of security, not round-the-clock police protection.

The Daily Mail quoted the royal expert as saying, “Harry and Meghan can come in and depart the United Kingdom whenever they like.

“We don't see photographs of them - unless they want to be photographed. They make such a drama about all of this, and yet the public don't need to know.”

He continued, “By and large, they can slip in and out. All this talk that Harry's in danger and he needs this wraparound security - well, anonymity is the best form of security of all. No one can cause them harm.”

"I know that sounds slightly glib, but I think it's an important part of this whole package.”

"Where did they come from? We don't know... it's absolutely proof positive that they are able to drop in and drop out of the UK as they please," the expert said about their recent trip.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children visited King Charles last Friday.

The palace released a brief statement and confirmed the meeting, however, no photo was released.
