Respecting Harry and Meghan's Privacy: Why Tabloids Should Change Their Approach to Royal Baby Photos

Over recent years, British tabloids have faced widespread criticism for their relentless pursuit of private moments in the lives of the royal family, particularly focusing on the Royal Baby. This scrutiny culminates with the decision of Harry and Meghan to keep their newborn, Archie, off the public radar.

Why Now?

It's crucial to start respecting Harry and Meghan's choices regarding their baby's privacy now. The extended publicity surrounding the royal baby photo rituals has spanned many years, often crossing the line from legitimate reporting into harmful speculation and invasion of privacy. As Archie is not expected to ascend to the throne, he bears no implicit obligation to be subject to relentless scrutiny. This change in approach is more about recognizing his individual rights and the dignity of the couple in raising their child privately.

Their decision to forgo public exposure for young Archie is a reflection of their desire to shield him from the immediate and harmful effects of public scrutiny. Other royal babies, such as Prince George, who is expected to be a future king, were born into a much anticipated public presence. This difference in treatment should prompt the media to reconsider their standards and respect personal privacy.

Why Start Respecting Them?

The tabloids have exploited every opportunity to publicize the Royal Baby, often resorting to clickbait and outright lies. This behavior has been detrimental to the well-being of the royal family, particularly showing little respect for their personal space and dignity. The manner in which the media has reported on events, such as insisting that Archie looked like a chimpanzee or questioning the authenticity of his birth, highlights a complete lack of integrity and a willingness to tarnish the family's image.

Consider how these allegations have affected not just Harry and Meghan but also the entire royal household, with many questioning the motives behind such unfounded and harmful reports. The answer to how these individuals sleep at night is baffling given the miserable impact of their reports. The media should have never been allowed to spread such falsehoods in the first place.

Private vs. Public Deliveries

A telling point in understanding the need for privacy is the difference in delivery arrangements. While Queen Elizabeth has opted for a private delivery to ensure the safety and privacy of Kate Middleton's third child, the public undoubtedly anticipated the birth of George. Charlotte and Louis' births, though also private, did not incite the kind of speculative frenzy that surrounded the first royal baby of the modern era.

It's clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are prioritizing the quality time with their son. They have chosen to keep things private, likely to provide a normal childhood for Archie, free from the glare of the media. While some might doubt their motivations, it's important to hope that they can indeed take on the role of good, attentive parents, without the burden of intense scrutiny that had previously plagued similar royal parenthood.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, respecting Harry and Meghan's privacy is not only a matter of personal integrity but also a sign of maturity for the media. They have full rights over their children and should be free to raise them in a way that prioritizes their child's happiness and well-being. It is imperative that the tabloids recognize and respect these boundaries, allowing the royals to live in peace and to cherish their precious time as a family.
