Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Won’t Do This With Their Kids in the U.K., Unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly adopting a strict privacy policy for their children, Archie and Lilibet, following their move back to the U.K. Unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Sussexes intend to avoid sharing birthday portraits or school-related photos of their children.
Why it matters
This highlights the ongoing tension between the British royal family's public traditions and the Sussexes' desire for personal privacy.

The Sussexes won't share pictures of their kids—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—on their first day of school, or depict them in birthday portraits.
Last month, William and Kate shared a new photo of their eldest son, Prince George, on his 13th birthday.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are likely looking forward to reconnecting with members of the royal family as they move back to the United Kingdom this month, but they won't be partaking in the same traditions. New reporting suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's parenting will look a little different from Prince William and Kate Middleton's.
