Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Privacy in the US Questioned as Images of Them Watching a Parade With Archie Emerge

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have left their royal duties behind in search of privacy in the United States, but it seems that they cannot escape the public's curiosity.

According to critic Daniela Elza, the couple is even risking their children, Archie and Lilibet, becoming valuable prey for tabloid sites in the country.

Elza cited an instance on July 4 when images emerged of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their son Archie, 3, watching a parade in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Another parade-goer snapped the pictures and vouched they were of the royal family members.

The netizen even encountered the couple's bodyguard.

The now-deleted shots in and of themselves are not that remarkable, a very cute little boy sucking a lollipop while watching a parade, Meghan casually but cheekily dressed and Harry doing his usual impression of a hirsute thundercloud.

But it's the fact that the shots themselves were even taken that is significant here.

Elza questioned the privacy of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Archie, and Lilibet in the USA, where websites like TMZ and Radar Online will happily pay the public for smartphone images of celebrities out and about doing such scintillating things as standing, walking and stocking up on loo paper.

Elza claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not be enjoying Beyoncé levels of popularity, but there is no end to the fascination with the nation's very own branch of the royal family.

The whole family is, in short, valuable prey for anyone who might come across them out and about.

She especially shared her concern for Archie and Lilibet, who will grow up in a country where there is a ready market for iPhone snaps of them.

She said the family remains unprotected from the glare of lenses, both professional and amateur the moment they step out of their Montecito mansion.

In other news, Duke of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children Archie and Lilibet are their secret weapon to mend ties with Queen Elizabeth and other royal family members.

According to commentator Eric Schiffer, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle know Archie and Lilibet could play a key role in bringing the royal family members back together again.

Talking to Express UK from California, Eric Schiffer strongly believes that the Queen will meet Lilibet and Archie.

He further said, Harry and Meghan know that their children are their secret weapon ultimately make things happen to bring their family back together.

The royal couple, who moved to California after stepping down as senior royals in 2020, have yet to bring their children to the UK.

The Queen is also yet to meet Meghan and Harry's daughter Lilibet in person.

It seems that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's move to the US has not entirely shielded them from the public eye.

While the couple may have quit their royal duties in search of privacy, it appears that they are still very much in the public's eye.

Critics like Daniela Elza have voiced their concerns about the family's safety and privacy.

They fear that the couple's children, Archie and Lilibet, could become targets for tabloid sites in the country.
