Meghan Markle could be planning a bombshell move to upstage Princess Catherine, according to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. On her show Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, she invited TalkTV star Mark Dolan and journalist Charles Rae to discuss the Sussexes’ recent visit to the UK after several years sequestered away in California.
Rae argued that the public want to see photographs of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – something Meghan and Harry denied them when they refused to appear in public together and didn’t take any official photographs during the trip. Dolan was curious as to how much a photograph showing the children’s faces would be worth, musing: “Charles, you are a legend of Fleet Street. Can you give us a ball park figure of the value of a photograph of Meghan and the kids back in the UK? What would that go for?”
He said it would be worth “six figures, without a shadow of a doubt”, only for Schofield to joke: “Meghan’s got her cell phone ready to go!”
Schofield then argued: “But I don’t think it’s about privacy for those children – otherwise you wouldn’t show them at all. I think that is what Meghan is trying to create – a price, an unbelievable price for the actual photos.
“Just like Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin’s wife, talking about how much she got to reveal her child’s face in People Magazine. I mean, this is a woman who has already bought the URLs for her children’s names.
“I never thought it was about privacy, I always thought it was about building hype or mystery around the children so they could ultimately monetise it.”
Dolan agreed: “Most definitely, they are now leveraging the kids for clicks, for headlines, to boost their brand, and for money. Why else would you put your kids on Instagram? Why are Harry and Meghan doing it, especially as Harry writes in Spare about how awful it was being in a goldfish bowl as a prince, and the glare of publicity? The gilded cage?”

But the conversation then turned to Meghan’s “regret” about not taking official photos. Schofield doubted the theories that none exist, however, and argued Meghan is just looking for the right moment to release them – and when she does, she reckons it will be to upstage Princess Catherine.
She said: “Let me tell you what I think is going to happen. I think right before, 48 hours before Catherine’s Christmas carol concert this holiday season, Meghan is going to release her family Christmas card, and it will be the children in Highgrove with Grandpa Charles.
“That’s what I think. To distract from Catherine’s Christmas carol concert, I think that Meghan will release a picture of the children at Highgrove. Whether Charles is in it or not, I don’t know, but I think the holiday photo will be the children at Highgrove.”
Rae said: “That’s quite a call, Kinsey. It would be a betrayal of what was supposed to have happened, that there were no pictures taken. But I think Mark’s right that Meghan in particular would have loved to have some publicity.”
