Parents love to see their children growing up. Right now, it is toddler time for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Their son Archie is two years old, and his sister Lilibet is four months old.

As a result, they try to keep the involvement of the hired help to a minimum. An insider says – the knowledge they acquired while bringing up Archie has come in handy for Lilibet. In the source's words, Harry is a former military pilot and "the most caring dad."
Harry became a father in May 2019 when Meghan brought Archie into this world.
Daughter Lilibet arrived this June, and she was Meghan's gift to Harry, Archie, and the Royal family. When Lilibet arrived, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton sent their congratulations via Instagram.

Privacy is important for Harry and Meghan
According to Daily Beast, lack of privacy was one reason Harry and Meghan left the royal life. However, they continue to attract global attention by virtue of their activities. They deserve full credit for keeping their children out of the glare of publicity.
The level of privacy they have been able to impart to their children today is much superior to what they gave their firstborn Archie. Incidentally, not a single photograph of their daughter has appeared in the media so far. They have not even announced any christening date for her.
In contrast, William and Kate are unable to do that. They have to pass on pictures of their kids to the media. It is believed to be a mechanism to maintain good rapport with them. Recently, there was news that Archie and Lilibet, children of Harry and Meghan, could get a new playmate.
