Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Will Take Archie And Lilibet On Future Tours To Attract Publicity They 'Crave,' Royal Expert Claims
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will likely bring their children with them on their future trips abroad to help their band, according to a royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have kept their children -- Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 2 -- from the public spotlight. However, this might change in the future because the former actress was reportedly "acutely aware" that the "charming" kids could boost their brand.
"Harry and Meghan are incredibly proud of their children, and when they are a little older and better able to travel, there is no doubt they will be taken on some of the couple's tours," Tom Quinn, royal biographer and commentator, told the Mirror.
"Meghan is acutely aware of what a great look this will be -- the charming royal couple with their charming royal children will attract the sort of publicity that Harry and Meghan crave, especially now that they are so determined to be billionaire entrepreneurs."
Prince Harry and Markle previously brought their son Archie to their 2019 royal tour of South Africa. However, they have kept their daughter out of the spotlight since then.
Earlier this month, the Sussexes paid a three-day visit to Nigeria without their children. Although Lilibet and Archie were not around, the "Suits" actress alum mentioned missing them as she was away from them during Mother's Day.
"I am very, very grateful, I am very humbled, and today is Mother's Day," Markle said with a smile in a video shared by Arochukwu Network on TikTok.
"So it feels appropriate, but though of course we are missing our children, I'm missing my babies, but it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family. So thank you so much for the kindness and for these beautiful names. I'm very grateful and we can't wait to come back."
Prince Harry and Markle are reportedly planning to visit another African nation for their next trip -- Ghana. However, Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator and expert, said they needed a concrete reason for the visit.
"They would surely need an excuse, their security in Nigeria was provided by the Government and the visit was linked to the Invictus Games, which Nigeria participates in and reportedly is keen to host, but Ghana does not. Nor has Meghan Ghanaian ancestry," Fitzwilliams told the Mirror.
