PRINCE Harry will be “extremely annoyed” by Meghan Markle’s decision to use their children to promote her new series, according to a royal expert.
The Duchess of Sussex, usually very private with her children, shared snaps of Lilibet and Archie to promote her latest Netflix series.

The second series of With Love, Meghan, hit screens last week with the show taking viewers into the Sussexes’ kitchen.
Starring the likes of Chrissy Teigen and Tan France, the series sees Meghan whipping up family recipes and sweet treats.
To promote the latest series, Meghan shared a picture of Archie holding a filming clapperboard and a snap of Lilibet in the director’s chair – both with their faces covered.
However, royal expert Hugo Vickers revealed that he thinks Harry will be furious with his wife’s decision to use the children to promote the series.
Hugo, the author of a slew of royal biographies, also claimed that the youngsters might have second thoughts about promoting the series later in life.
He said: “He ought to be extremely annoyed. Obviously, I don’t know what he thinks, but I think he does what he’s told probably.
“You know, what worries me much more, to be quite honest, is what the children themselves are going to think when they get a little bit older and they realise how they’ve been exploited.
“And, of course, they will also realise at a certain point that they’ve never met their grandfathers and that they have cousins in England who have rather an interesting life – something which they’ve been kept away from.”
A third series of With Love, Meghan has yet to be given the green light.
The show is part of the Duchess’s huge new Netflix deal, which was unveiled in August.
Their previous deal had been worth £100 million, but ran out after five years.
Weighing in on Meghan’s Netflix projects, Hugo said: “I mean, all the things that she does seem to me not to be the success that she would have wished for them.
“And therefore she keeps, you know, coming up with new ideas, reinventing herself, reinventing things.
“I mean, I’ve never seen somebody who’s changed direction quite so many times as Meghan Markle.”
Hugo has said that using the children to promote the show is “wrong”, in his view.
Instead, the Sussexes should look to UK Prime Ministers for an example on how to manage having children when you are in the spotlight.
He said: “I do think it’s wrong. It’s wrong for anyone to exploit children, you know.
“The situation comes with politicians, you know, most of our Prime Ministers, the only time you see the children are when they’re leaving Downing Street, when they sort of take them by the hand and lead them out, you know. Otherwise, they’re kept in the background.”

The Sun has approached Archewell, the Sussexes’ non-profit company, for comment.
In the series, Meghan revealed that Harry was the first to say “I love you” in their relationship.
Meghan said that she realised that she had fallen in love with her now-husband while camping in Botswana for their third date.
She told Tan France: “You really get to know someone when you are in a little tent together and there’s what is that out there – ‘is that an elephant are we going to be safe?’”
The Duchess also opened up about working as a hostess at the now-closed Mirabelle restaurant in Hollywood.
She said: “”Remember when I was a hostess at Mirabelle, on Sunset?
“It was a great job, he was like ‘do you want to be a waitress’ [and] I was like ‘I’m really good at hostessing, that is not my lane.
“‘I understand my lane, so no, I will take less tips but do the thing I’m really good at.’”
