Prince Harry has fired off a frightening warning to parents about posting photos of their children online, despite his wife, Meghan Markle, continuing to share pictures of their young kids, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The former royals aren’t on the same page at all. Harry, 40, has been an outspoken critic of social media and its effects on young people, and his comments came just as Markle, 44, posted and then deleted a video showing son Archie and daughter Lilibet’s faces.
‘You Should be Really Worried’
During an appearance on the Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know podcast on Wednesday, October 29, Minaj asked the Duke of Sussex, “Should parents post photos of their children online?”
Harry, who doesn’t have any social media accounts, stated that “Parents can do whatever they want,” but listed several reasons why it can be perilous.
“The reality is, from what I’ve learned, what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard, and experienced, especially through the Parents Network, is you should be really, really worried, concerned, and cautious about putting photographs of your kids online, especially now,” Harry cautioned.
He had a particular reason, adding, “With this surge of unregulated AI, you just don’t know where it’s going to go and how it’s going to be used.”
Brief Reveal of Harry and Markle’s Kids
Harry’s warning came on the heels of Markle posting a video of him carving a pumpkin, with their children seen playing in the background.
While Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, only raced across for a split second in the sped-up clip, their faces were revealed for the first time in years. It broke a family promise not to reveal the youngsters’ faces, who are always seen from behind or at a strategically shot side angle.
While Markle quickly took the post down once she realized the full extent of the content, the children’s slightly blurry faces were already going viral.
Family Pumpkin Patch Fun
Markle shared another video earlier in the day, showing the children playing in a pumpkin patch near the family’s Montecito home while picking out jack-o’-lanterns.
Tight shots of Archie, with his dark red hair and black polo shirt with a tan sweater, showed him running through the patch and later joining family friend Markus Anderson at home to carve pumpkins.
Lilibet’s long red tresses were easily identifiable, as were her pink pajama-like knit top and pants.
“Meghan understands the level of fascination with her family online. Showing Archie and Lilibet more openly isn’t just about sharing sweet moments – it’s a deliberate move to guide how the public sees them. There’s a clear strategy behind it,” a source close to the couple dished.
The spy continued: “The Sussexes have built a global brand around family, wellness, and authenticity. Meghan understands that social media is the future of that brand – and if she’s relaunching herself online, her children will inevitably be part of the story. She is clearly eyeing them as future influencers with the power to earn millions of dollars from brand posts.”
Markle has become a prolific Instagram user since returning to the platform on New Year’s Day following years away from social media.
As she approached the March launch of her Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, the aspiring domestic diva, started using her children more frequently in her content.
They were seen helping her in the kitchen and garden, as well as with other household activities. However, Markle was careful not to show the children’s faces, even as she made them a much more active presence on her Instagram page.
While many believe Harry and Markle hide their children’s faces for security reasons, veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards had a different take, suggesting it might be part of a money-making plot.
“I don’t know why we can’t see the children’s faces,” he pondered. “I think she’s obviously got some sort of scheme there where she might want some money ties on one day, I don’t know.”
He added, “Will we ever see their faces? Maybe one day she’ll produce a calendar or something of her children’s faces, and that’ll be sort of another Meghan special.”
Prince Harry’s Major Career Blow! Exiled Royal Admits His Kids Have No Idea What He Does for a Living… as Business Ventures Continue to Flop
While rudderless Prince Harry has faced criticism for seemingly being a layabout with no job, it turns out his own children have no clue what he does for a living, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The former senior working royal, 40, gave a very curious answer when asked what his two kids think he “does” as a profession, after his production deal with his wife, Meghan Markle, was seriously downgraded.
Harry Left Grasping for Answer Over Profession Question
Harry appeared on the Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know podcast on Wednesday, October 29, when the Tron: Ares star attempted to get his guest into a game of “Royal Rapid Fire.”
Harry admitted he has “no plans at this point” to become an American citizen and that life in the States has become “way more confusing” since moving to California with Markle in 2020. Minhaj then left the prince dumbfounded with his following query.
“What do your kids think you do?” the comedian, 40, asked Harry, regarding Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4.
After a long pause, the prince replied, “That’s a good question,” and repeated it back to Minhaj in an apparent attempt to stall and come up with an answer.
‘We Help Other People’
After Harry was unable to answer the question, Minhaj clarified it by asking, “What do they think dad does?”
The Harry & Meghan star gave a vague, “Um…they know that we help other people.”
Minhaj then specifically asked about what type of “work” Harry does, even giving an example of how his young daughter joined him on the set of his podcast earlier and played with his microphone while getting the hang of his show.
When the Haunted Mansion star realized he wasn’t getting anywhere, he asked Harry what his kids do “When daddy’s on a call.”
“All they’re interested in is saying hi to the people on the call,” the prince replied. “They’re fascinated to see other people. They love seeing familiar faces,” he added, claiming sometimes he has to push them away so as not to jump in to interrupt.
An obviously frustrated Minhaj then moved on from the topic, as it was clear Harry didn’t have an answer to what his children think he does for a job.
Harry’s Former Regal Life
While Archie was born when his dad was a prince of the realm, he was too young to remember that his father once traveled the world on behalf of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, meeting with dignitaries and world leaders.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex even famously had their son make his public debut during a meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu on a 2019 royal visit to South Africa.
But those heady days of royal life came crashing down in January 2020, when Harry and Markle announced they wanted a “half-in, half-out” arrangement, allowing them to live abroad and earn their own money while doing occasional royal duties.
The queen gave a hard no to the proposition, and the couple quit as senior working royals and relocated to a mansion in Montecito, California, where they began a new life. Lilibet was born in 2021 and never got a taste of her parents’ former regal world.
What Does Harry Actually Do?
While Harry has kept active as a patron of the adaptive sporting Invictus Games since leaving royal life, not much else has come his way in the line of work since leaving the royal fold.
He and Markle initially landed big bucks deals with Netflix and Spotify, only to have all non-royal-related content flop with viewers and listeners, and their agreements get dropped.
Harry still gives occasional speeches about his passion projects, including mental health and the impact of social media on children.
But even the prince’s philanthropic work has dwindled.
A scandal over human rights abuses rocked Harry’s African Parks charity, while he resigned as head of his Sentebale charity in March over a clash with the organization’s chairwoman.
King Charles and Prince Harry’s Reconciliation Timeline
Prince Harry and King Charles III’s relationship has been a rollercoaster for years, from the Sussexes’ Oprah Winfrey interview through to recent hopes that father and son will patch things up.
Tensions between the two royals date back to the earliest days of Harry’s relationship with Meghan Markle and their clashes with the media.
Back then, Harry would ask Charles to step in and help rein in the tabloids while his father would reply: “Don’t read it, darling boy,” Harry wrote in his book Spare.
Private disputes only became public, however, from March 2021, when Harry told Oprah Winfrey, “my family literally cut me off financially,” by which he meant his father.
Oprah Winfrey and the Start of the Royal Bombshells
Perhaps the most high-profile allegation in the sitdown chat actually came from Meghan, who told Oprah an unnamed royal had “concerns and conversations about how dark [her unborn child’s] skin might be when he’s born.”
A cloud of suspicion immediately fell publicly over both Charles and Prince William, before the 2023 royal biography Endgame, by Omid Scobie, revealed that, in fact, it had been Charles who asked the question, in the presence of Princess Kate.
According to the book, after the interview was broadcast, Charles had written to Meghan to explain: “In those private letters an identity was revealed and confirmed: Charles. The king, sources say, wanted to respond to make clear to Meghan that there was no ill will or bias.”
Harry subsequently said, in January 2023, that Meghan had never accused the royals of racism, but rather unconscious bias. The prince also accused his father of cutting him off financially, and Meghan said the royals discussed denying their children prince and princess titles and police protection.
Prince Philip’s Funeral
If Oprah fired the starting gun on the public’s knowledge of a rift between father and son, the first major hope for reconciliation came a month later, after the death of Prince Philip, Charles’ father.
The prince flew to Britain for the funeral at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, and was seen talking to first Princess Kate, then Prince William outside.
And in his book Spare, he wrote about meeting Charles and Prince William to try to clear the air, though back then the primary focus was on the damaged relationship between the two brothers.
“I’d vowed not to let this encounter devolve into another argument,” he wrote. “But I quickly discovered that it wasn’t up to me. Pa and Willy had their parts to play, and they’d come ready for a fight.
“Every time I ventured a new explanation, started a new line of thought, one or both of them would cut me off. Willy in particular didn’t want to hear anything. After he’d shut me down several times, he and I began sniping, saying some of the same things we’d said for months—years. It got so heated that Pa raised his hands.
“‘Enough!’ He stood between us, looking up at our flushed faces: ‘Please, boys—don’t make my final years a misery’.”
Prince Harry Brings Meghan to Britain
In April 2022, Harry and Meghan met Charles and Queen Camilla for tea on their way to the Invictus Games, at the Hague, in the Netherlands.
Author Katie Nicholls described the encounter in her 2022 book The New Royals: “The meeting with Charles and Camilla was more awkward than their cordial tea with the queen.
“The Sussexes were late, and Charles had just 15 minutes with his son and daughter-in-law before he had to leave for the Royal Maundy Service at Windsor Castle, where he was standing in for the queen for the very first time. While father and son are said to have greeted each other warmly, there were moments of tension.”
A family friend was quoted as saying, “Harry went in with hugs and the best of intentions and said he wanted to clear the air.
“He actually suggested that they use a mediator to try and sort things out, which had Charles somewhat bemused and Camilla spluttering into her tea. She told Harry it was ridiculous and that they were a family and would sort it out between themselves.”
Harry went on to give an interview to Hoda Kotb for Today at Invictus and swerved a question on whether he missed his father and brother: “At the moment, I’m here focused on these guys [the Invictus Games competitors] and these families and giving everything I can, 120 percent to them to make sure that they have the experience of a lifetime. That’s my focus here.”
Queen Elizabeth II’s Death
Harry returned to Britain in September 2022, and while there, Queen Elizabeth II experienced a sudden decline in her health and passed away on September 8 at Balmoral.
Even before her death, there were tensions as family members attempted to scramble up to the Scottish estate to say their final goodbyes.
Harry described in Spare receiving a call from Charles asking him not to bring Meghan with him: “He said I was welcome at Balmoral, but he didn’t want…her.
“He started to lay out his reason, which was nonsensical, and disrespectful, and I wasn’t having it. ‘Don’t ever speak about my wife that way.’ He stammered, apologetic, saying he simply didn’t want a lot of people around. No other wives were coming, Kate wasn’t coming, he said, therefore Meg shouldn’t. ‘Then that’s all you needed to say.'”
While Harry may well have been offended, Charles will have known in that moment he was preparing for the death of his mother and found himself on the receiving end of a sharp-tongued response from Harry.
Prince Harry’s Book and Eviction From Frogmore
In January 2023, Harry released his book Spare, containing scores of royal family secrets and some swipes, including at Queen Camilla, who Harry said “had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar” in the run-up to her February 2005 engagement to Charles.
In the aftermath of publication, Charles evicted Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage, their U.K. home, a decision revealed by The Sun in February 2023.
Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson at the time said: “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage.”
King Charles III’s Coronation
There was a glimmer of light, however, in the general downward trajectory when Harry made it to Britain for King Charles’ Coronation, though his visit was short-lived.
He arrived, attended the ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, and then went straight to Heathrow Airport to return to America, even as Charles and Camilla were on the Buckingham Palace balcony wearing their crowns in public for the first time.
King Charles’ Cancer Diagnosis
Harry’s approach seemed to hit a turning point in February 2024 after King Charles announced he had been diagnosed with cancer. Harry jumped straight on a plane to Britain to see his father, but was given less than an hour with the king.
The prince returned to Britain again in May but did not get a meeting with his father, which his spokesperson at the time said was because of Charles’ schedule and “other priorities.”
Harry Reveals Rift With Charles Over Security Lawsuit
In May 2025, Harry finally, definitively lost a lawsuit he had filed against the British Government over the removal of his police protection team.
And in a BBC interview, he said the court case had damaged his relationship with the king: “I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.”
Prince Harry Has Tea With King Charles
More recently, though, things have been looking up for the relationship as Harry and Charles met for tea at Clarence House in September.
They spent less than an hour together, but in part because the meeting was squeezed in between diary commitments, and in fact, Harry arrived late to an engagement later that afternoon, perhaps as a result.
Hopes of a more peaceful relationship have been at a high in recent months, facilitated not only by the end of Harry’s police security lawsuit but also the fact he has not launched any major attacks on the reputation of the Monarchy since the release of his book in 2023, despite the odd disagreement.
Meghan Markle Accused of ‘Exploiting Everyday People’ and ‘Using the Royals’ for ‘Marketing’ as Lifestyle Brand Faces Fresh Criticism
A celebrity chef has accused “Diva Duchess” Meghan Markle of trading in her tenuous connection to the royal family to get fans to purchase items from her pricey As Ever brand, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Jameson Stocks, who has his own royal ties as an ambassador for King Charles III‘s King’s Trust charity and has whipped up meals for the monarch, claimed Markle, 41, is “using the royals as a marketing tool” to push her products, including expensive jams, honey, teas, and wine.
“Royal family or not, I don’t think any family would appreciate someone coming in and making money off the back of the family name,” Stocks said in a recent interview.
Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, dramatically quit as senior working royals in 2020 and fled to California to build an independent fortune. The Suits alum has come under fire for continuing to use her Duchess of Sussex title flagrantly in her projects in the years since, despite having no contact with her regal in-laws.
“Admiration comes with class and the way you hold up as a person,” Stocks sneered about Markle, and had a critical view of how late monarch Queen Elizabeth II would feel about Harry’s wife using her status to push her lifestyle brand.
“I think the Queen would feel that she is exploiting the ‘everyday’ people and using the royals as a marketing tool to sell jam,” he scoffed.
Pricey Products
The chef, who has his own line of sauces, thinks Markle’s As Ever brand is a cynical money-making scheme.
“Let’s be honest, she’ll turn anything into a luxury wellness product if she can make a huge mark on it. From overpriced tea to honey — next, she’ll be selling Californian air in a jar,” Stocks huffed.
Markle just launched her first As Ever holiday collection, which features $62 honey, $63 candles, and a $42 fruit spread set.
Stocks claimed that the Netflix star’s “target market” is consumers in “Napa Valley or California” who are willing to pay those prices.
“But if it comes down to buying baby food, paying for heating, and being able to afford to actually go to work, the vast majority would pass on a £30 ‘everyday’ bottle of wine, I am sure — even if it is Meghan Markle branded,” the cookbook author jeered.
Markle’s ‘Ethos’
“The difference between my brand and her brand is I’ve tried to build it up so it’s accessible and affordable to the majority,” Stocks noted about his products.
“She’s built up a brand for the minority who can actually afford it; her ethos is completely different from mine.”
This isn’t the first time Stocks has been critical of Markle. In August, he slammed Season 2 of her With Love, Meghanlifestyle series as “staged and fake.”
“I tried to keep an open mind, hoping it might be an improvement on the first series. But just two minutes in, I was already done with this bulls—,” he said in an interview at the time.
“She’s looking for credibility with the chefs and guests, just because you know a good cook doesn’t mean you are a good cook, I find it all really embarrassing,” Stocks added.
After Markle and Harry were downgraded from an exclusive Netflix deal to a first-look arrangement, a third season of the series seemingly isn’t happening.
At the time, the streamer announced a With Love, Meghan holiday special, but no other projects from the couple beyond that.
