Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of hiding their son, Archie, from the public. But a royal expert recently said that the couple shouldn’t be frightened from showing their son’s photos to the world.

While speaking with The Sun, royal author Duncan Larcombe said that Markle’s decision to bring her 2-month-old son to Prince Harry’s polo match was actually interesting and unexpected. After all, royal fans were wondering if Archie will be hidden from the public for as long as possible.

“They shouldn’t be frightened of Archie being photographed. He is seventh in line to the throne,” he said.

The royal expert also said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still figuring out how much exposure they want their son to have after making Archie’s christening private. Prince Harry and Markle didn’t also reveal the names of their son’s godparents.

“Harry and Meghan are trying to find their balance. They don’t want to parade him in front of the cameras, they want to protect him from that as much as they can… But the alternative to lock him up in a private house until he is 18 is obviously not going to happen either, which is good,” he said.

Meanwhile, Larcombe also talked about Prince Harry’s desire to give his son the best of both worlds just like what his cousin, Zara Tindall, experienced. Since Princess Anne opted to not give her children royal titles, Tindall and her brother are able to lead very private lives.

However, the royal expert said that Prince Harry and Markle can’t achieve the same thing for their son because they are not as low-profile as Princess Anne. In fact, the royal couple has such a huge following.

At the end of the day, Prince Harry and Markle simply need to find the balance on how to give Archie a private upbringing while not keeping him away from the spotlight at all times.
