Real ‘reason’ Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet won’t be seen on UK trip | Royal | News

While Harry and Meghan have not commented on the matter, it is believed that their children will not be able to attend public meetings with them to protect their privacy.

This is important for the couple, who keep seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet away from the public spotlight, even avoiding showing their faces on social media.

A source close to the couple I once told PEOPLE: “Harry has been reluctant to show his children in public, not to hide them, but to protect their privacy and safety from possible threats. He wants them to live as normal a life as possible without fear of being kidnapped or harmed.”

This will be the first time the entire family has arrived together in Harry’s hometown since 2022.

Harry has traveled to England alone on several occasions since then, citing security concerns as the reason his family did not accompany him from their home in Montecito.

However, last year he said that he wanted his children to know his own country and that this could happen soon.
