‘Desperate' reason Prince Harry is OK with Meghan splashing Lilibet and Archie on social media
In the past they've ferociously protected their children's privacy by keeping them out of the public eye, but there's been a sudden and significant change in Prince Harry and Meghan's approach recently and one insider says they know why.
The Duchess of Sussex has ramped up Lilibet, 4, and big brother Archie's, 6, appearances on her Instagram page, freely posting happy family snaps on social media.
And while cynical observers note that it coincides with her pushing her business interests in her As Ever brand in the same forum, an insider has offered another, sadder motive.
'Harry is completely heartbroken,' an insider close to the family has told
Daily Mail
.
'His dad refuses to see him or the kids — not even on Zoom... It's a last resort.
'He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing.
'He's tried everything - calls, letters... But nothing's worked. This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing'.'
Meghan has used a number of recent milestones to share intimate, previously unseen photos and videos of the Montecito-based royals' family life.
To celebrate Lilibet's birthday, Meghan posted several family cherished shots, including a throwback video of herself twerking to the song Baby Momma in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of her cuddling Lili.
In one clip for Father's Day, Harry was seen dancing joyfully in the kitchen with toddler Archie, while another captured him sharing laughs during story time with his son.
And in another particularly tender moment, both children were seen showering their dad with kisses while playing on a backyard swing.
During a recent appearance on Emma Gredge's Aspire podcast, Meghan explained her motivation for sharing more with her followers.
'Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance? That was four years ago... I'm just grateful that now, being back on social... I can share it on my own terms.'
Prince Harry remains publicly estranged from senior members of the royal family including King Charles and Prince William but has expressed a desire to reconcile.
In a May interview he told the BBC, 'There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family… Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.'
'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' he added. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.'

Woman makes ‘stinky' boiled egg dinner on packed flight
A woman has been mercilessly mocked after filming herself assembling a full meal – including boiled eggs – during a long-haul flight from Los Angeles to Paris. Jess Marra, 33, set the internet alight earlier this month after bringing a stash of prepacked containers to make a DIY on-board dinner during a 10-hour flight. 'What started as a fun travel moment turned into the international egg scandal of the year,' Jess said, after her video racked up more than 1.5 million views on Instagram and was flooded with thousands of angry comments. In the now-viral video, Jess can be seen unpacking her carefully prepped ingredients which included ziploc bags of dressing and avocado, before assembling a full-blown salad in her window seat. The LA digital marketing worker filmed herself aggressively shaking her salad and even peeling avocados in the crammed economy space. Naturally, many viewers weren't impressed – especially over her choice of protein. 'New fear unlocked: I get on a plane and the person next to me starts making an egg salad,' one horrified user wrote. 'Just because you can eat an egg on a flight doesn't mean you should,' agreed another. 'Between the egg, the elbow jabbing into your neighbour, the salad shaking and the 'influencing', I am 100 per cent annoyed and I'm not on the plane. Just be a normal person and stop trying to gain attention,' a third person fumed. Jess, however, hit back, saying she took care not to disturb anyone around her. 'Despite what the internet thinks, I was discreet in my window seat and kept everything low-key,' she said. 'When the flight attendant came around for meal service I politely declined, and once everyone around me was settled eating, I got to work. No one on the flight seemed to notice or care.' 'The comments were brutal,' Jess said. 'People were yelling at me for being selfish, inconsiderate, endangering the lives of passengers, and just generally being the worst human ever. I was kind of in shock.' She insists the eggs weren't actually smelly, explaining she deliberately undercooks them to avoid any odour. 'Was it a little weird I assembled a salad at my seat? Sure,' she admitted. 'Is it the end of the world that I ate an egg on a plane? Certainly not!' She was quick to point out the double standards, saying eggs are a common ingredient in plane meals anyway. 'Hard boiled eggs are sold in every airport convenience store and even at Starbucks for people to eat during flights,' she said. 'Plane food has a strong odour and, many times, eggs are included in the meal service as well. It's not like I unwrapped a tuna melt or started microwaving salmon mid-flight!' In the end, Jess says she was just trying to enjoy a decent meal on a tight schedule. 'The internet really ran with it,' she said, 'but in reality, I'm just a hungry girl trying to eat my dinner.'
