The Duke of Sussex cautions parents about posting their children’s
pictures online, sparking talk of tension at home.
Prince Harry has sparked new debate after issuing a strong warning to parents
about sharing images of their children on social media. His comments, made
during an interview on Hasan Minhaj’s Doesn’t Know podcast, came just days
after Meghan Markle uploaded and later deleted a video showing Archie and
Lilibet’s faces for the first time in years.
The Duke, who doesn’t use social media and has never posted photos of his
children online, urged parents to think twice before doing so. “You should be
really, really worried, concerned, and cautious about putting photographs of
your kids online,” he said, pointing to risks linked with unregulated AI and
data misuse.
The timing of Harry’s remarks has raised eyebrows. Meghan recently shared a
family clip promoting her new projects, featuring brief moments of the
children playing in the background. The footage broke an earlier understanding
that their children’s faces would not be shown publicly.
Reports suggest the couple disagrees on how much to involve their children in
public life. While Meghan reportedly sees family moments as part of her brand
storytelling, Harry remains wary of exposing their children to online
attention. His recent comments appear to be a clear message—urging caution not
just to the public, but perhaps to his own household.
