Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly "hands-on parents" who will tell Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Diana about their royal identity in due course.

"They'll have those conversations in due time," a family friend told an outlet.

The source added how Meghan and Harry, "take the kids to school, they pick them up, and they are very active and present with them throughout the day."

The insider continued, "I think every parent wants to share their kid with the world, but they just can't. William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children. They know the world wants to see [them, but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted if it ever does."

The source also revealed that the elusive Sussex children are "so well-mannered. Archie is sweet and curious and playful, and Lili is vibrant and happy."

This follows reports suggesting that the Sussex kids could be heading back to Britain in a few years time.

"The Invictus Games in 2027 could indeed be a strategic opportunity for Prince Harry to bring his children to the U.K." PR executive Renae Smith told an outlet. "Given that they haven't visited since 2022, their presence could symbolize a gesture of goodwill and a desire to reconnect with his roots."

Prince Archie was born in London in May 2019 but was swiftly carried away to California by his parents during early 2020's "Megxit" drama. Princess Lilibet arrived in the world in Santa Barbara, and both briefly visited Britain in June 2022 for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. One royal insider said at the time that the 1-year-old princess would likely have no memory of the trip as she grows up.

"This move could generate positive publicity, highlighting the importance of family unity and the continuation of his charitable efforts in the U.K.," Smith observed. "It is crucial to handle this situation delicately. There is a risk that some might perceive this as 'using' the children to mend his [Prince Harry's] relationship with the royal family, which could attract negative attention."

She then critically pointed out: "It’s important for the couple [Harry and Meghan] to avoid exaggerating or portraying themselves as martyrs for attending or bringing their children. They should be matter-of-fact about their attendance and aim to avoid any conflict (Let's see if this is possible for them!)."

As the Invictus Games circle back to their originating nation in a few years, it is difficult to predict where relations between the Sussex family and the monarchy stand. Numerous royal analysts are not optimistic about the prospects.
