However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are waiting for the right moment to introduce their children to the world, claims a royal expert.

Recently, the couple travelled to Nigeria for what was dubbed an “unofficial royal tour”, and royal fans have been left hopeful they could include Archie and Lilibet on future tours.

Royal author Tom Quinn told the Mirror: “Harry and Meghan are incredibly proud of their children, and when they are a little older and better able to travel, there is no doubt they will be taken on some of the couple’s tours.

“Meghan is acutely aware of what a great look this will be, the charming royal couple with their charming royal children will attract the sort of publicity that Harry and Meghan crave, especially now that they are so determined to be billionaire entrepreneurs.”

Tom added that Meghan recognises the positive impact Archie and Lilibet could have on their public image and “Sussex brand.”

However, during the three-day Nigerian visit, the children remained in California.

This comes as Meghan is said to be facing some “challenges” when it comes to the success of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

Brand strategist Lucie Green believes Meghan will have to decide whether to make her products expensive or accessible, and she’ll have to be careful about any royal references.

Speaking to Fabulous, Lucie shared: “Positioning will be a tightrope, whether to go very high-end and exclusive or make the brand more accessible.

“How much she (even obliquely) makes royal references will always draw criticism but dialling that up will likely be appealing to many US audiences, just as Aerin Lauder and Martha Stewart make upper-class references in their brands but have wide audiences.”

Prince Harry & Meghan’s Nigeria royal tour is just another way to push Brand Sussex, expert says
Prince Harry hinted at future trips similar to their Nigeria visit during the overseas tour, saying to PEOPLE: “It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support and positive change.

“There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to travelling more because the work matters.

“Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”

Harry is said to be keen to keep the children away from cameras, while Meghan is more relaxed about the world seeing them.

The children’s appearances are rare and they have been seen only in official photographs and in fleeting moments on the previous Harry & Meghan Netflix show.

The Duke and Duchess — who stepped back from working royal life in 2020 — are understood to have ended their public attacks after the tell-all Oprah Winfrey interview and the fly-on-the-wall series sparked criticism.

Meanwhile, royal fans have seen Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, at a number of royal events over the past few years, including the Jubilee and Coronation celebrations.

What is Meghan Markle’s new business?

Meghan Markle has launched a new Instagram brand called American Riviera Orchard.

Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.

A source told the Mail: “It’s a lifestyle and cooking brand called American Riviera Orchard.

“The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix.

“Meghan will be making, and selling, products such as jams. And at some point there will be a book and blog etc.”
