Why the Sussexes Decided to Share Lilibet’s Face Ronald Martinez – Getty Images
Prince Harry has “evolved to align with Meghan” when it comes to sharing pics of their kids.
The Duchess of Sussex just shared a photo of her daughter’s face for the first time in years.
The royal couple have been understandably concerned about their kids’ privacy and safety over the years.
Meghan Markle recently shared the first photo of her daughter Lilibet’s face in years, a pretty major change from her and Prince Harry’s previous attitude towards sharing their kids on social media.
So, what changed? A source tells Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that while Harry was initially adamant that there’d be “no faces, no exposure, no brand strategy around the kids,” he’s softened his stance. Per an insider, “He’s evolved to align with Meghan. He trusts her completely. If she believes this is smart for the family, he backs her 100 percent.”
Another source claims that Kris Jenner—who the Sussexes have befriended—has been giving the couple advice about “brand control and family positioning.”
Back in 2024, a source told Us Weekly that lack of enhanced security protection in England was part of what went into their decision to stay private. “I think every parent wants to share their kid with the world, but they just can’t. William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children. They know the world wants to see [them, but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted, if it ever does.”
