It was to be expected. Once the video featuring Meghan Markle<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prince Harry<\/a>\u2019s kids was shared online, the speculation about the kids would quadruple. And though the video wasn\u2019t up for that long, and didn\u2019t really show their faces as clearly, just in passing in the background, there is indeed way more interest today about them and their future\u2014inside or outside the royal family.<\/p>\n According to RadarOnline.com<\/a><\/em> the post even has media analysts questioning whether Markle is planning for her children\u2019s future. Markle posted a video of her family enjoying an early Halloween trip to Lane Farms in Santa Barbara before returning home to carve pumpkins. In the video of Prince Harry carving a pumpkin, the kids can be seen playing.<\/p>\n More from StyleCaster<\/strong><\/p>\n Related:\u00a0<\/strong>Here\u2019s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth<\/a><\/p>\n Now the outlet reports from a source, \u201cMeghan understands the level of fascination with her family online. Showing Archie and Lili more openly isn\u2019t just about sharing sweet moments \u2013 it\u2019s a deliberate move to guide how the public sees them. There\u2019s a clear strategy behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n This is the first time the public has gotten a clear glimpse of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet<\/a> in years, which is why some people don\u2019t believe it was a mistake.<\/p>\n A Los Angeles-based entertainment executive said, \u201cThe Sussexes have built a global brand around family, wellness, and authenticity. Meghan understands that social media is the future of that brand \u2013 and if she\u2019s 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.\u201d And the kids have the potential to be \u201cmoney-spinning influencers\u201d indeed.<\/p>\n Both Meghan Markle and Prince Harry<\/a> have been open about what they see as the dangers of social media in young people, with Harry saying that the digital world has \u201cfundamentally changed how we experience reality,\u201d and Markle explaining, \u201cWe\u2019ve been really conscious about protecting our kids as best we can and understanding the role they play in this really historical family.\u201d<\/p>\n Another source defended the decision to show the kids online. \u201cMeghan\u2019s not using her kids for attention \u2013 she\u2019s taking charge of how they\u2019re seen. If the media is going to pursue her family regardless, she\u2019d prefer to control the narrative herself.\u201d<\/p>\n Not that long ago, after Markle posted a photo<\/a>\u00a0of her kids on the set of her Netflix show,\u00a0With Love, Meghan<\/em>, royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun<\/em><\/a> that the glimpse of\u00a0their children<\/a> might not sit well with Harry. \u201cHe [Prince Harry] ought to be extremely annoyed. Obviously, I don\u2019t know what he thinks, but I think he does what he\u2019s told probably,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know, what worries me much more, to be quite honest, is what the children themselves are going to think when they get a little bit older and they realise how they\u2019ve been exploited.\u201d<\/p>\n Right now, the kids are too young to decide for themselves what they want to do in the future, and a quick and blurry video with their faces in the background isn\u2019t nearly enough to make any judgments on Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n Best of StyleCaster<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Stylecaster’s Newsletter<\/a>.
