Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ‘disagree on Archie and Lilibet’s involvement in Netflix show’

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly disagreed over their children’s involvement in her new Netflix show.

The Duchess of Sussex surprised fans in March when she announced the launch of her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The 42-year-old revealed the business venture would sell a variety of homewares, including crockery, table linen and glasses, as well as a line of nut butters, jams and conserves, and oils. Meghan is already expanding her empire as she’s now working on a cookery show with Netflix which is expected to showcase products from her lifestyle brand.

However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly at odds over whether they should include their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in the new show. Meghan is reportedly “inspired” by sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who regularly includes her and Prince William ’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, in public events she attends. But Harry is reportedly against the idea of including his two young children in the Netflix show and wants to keep them away from the spotlight.

A source told OK! magazine that the Duke has had a bad experience with press intrusion into his life – and also that of his late mother Princess Diana – so is now reportedly at odds with wife Meghan over her decision to involve their children. “She would love for Archie and Lilibet to make guest appearances on her new show as being a mum is a huge part of her life and wants to show off that part of her world, just like Kate does occasionally when she takes her children to work events,” the insider shared.

“She totally gets where Harry is coming from because he has been so traumatised by things that went on during his childhood and she admires him for wanting to protect the kids and she will always support him,” they explained, adding that Meghan us trying to “convince him that being in the spotlight isn’t all bad and feels he shouldn’t judge everything by his past and what he went through.”

While she recognises that Archie and Lilibet are “in a completely different situation” because of who they’re parents are, the source claims Meghan wants to show Harry that they can involve their children in their projects because they are “never going to be anonymous.” They added: “Meghan is hoping Harry will get on board with her plans soon.”

There are no more details surrounding the upcoming new show, other than reports that it will “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship,” according to Deadline. The couple are also working on another show for Netflix that is focusing on the history of polo, a sport which Prince Harry has been a lifelong fan of.
