Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making sure to keep their children out of the spotlight, with one expert suggesting fans "won't see the kids again".

The couple have been open about their own lives, with the Duke of Sussex penning his tell-all memoir Spare and the pair coming together for their bombshell Netflix docuseries. However, Harry and Meghan have released very little information about Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

In fact, the Sussexes decided against publicly celebrating Father's Day on Sunday. Royal commentator Jack Royston suggested this shows the couple might be entering a "new era" of privacy.

"It's interesting that we didn't get any Father's Day content from Harry and Meghan. I think they really have hit a new era of definitely wanting to keep their children in private," he told Newsweek.

The royal expert pointed out how Harry and Meghan have shared a few pictures of their children with fans, but the content has been limited. He added: "We've had nothing this year of Lilibet and we've had nothing for Father's Day and it does feel like they've now hit a point where we perhaps won't see the kids again."

Meghan recently gave a rare insight into Lilibet's childhood during her and Harry's trip to Nigeria. During a visit to the Lightway Academy in Abuja, the Sussexes chatted with pupils from the Academy's Kindergarten class, who performed a song and dance for the couple.

"Is singing and dancing your favourite class?" Harry asked the children, with Meghan adding: "That's Lili's favourite class, maybe it's all the jumping around." And that wasn't the only comment Meghan made about her daughter.

During a chat about mental health, she said: "We all have our story. And there's no shame in any single one of your stories. Even on the hardest days or darkest days, everything is a pillar of your strength by each of you being there.

"Your teachers see that in you. And we see that in you. And interestingly, so our daughter, Lili, she's much, much tinier than you guys. She's about to turn three. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she said 'Mama, I see me in you'.

"Oh, now she was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well."
