Prince William reportedly 'blames Meghan' for brother Prince Harry's 'overboard' parenting - AOL

Are Meghan and Harry going "overboard" with their efforts to maintain a bit of privacy around their newborn son?

According to one royal insider, that's what Prince William and Kate Middleton think. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex raised eyebrows in Britain when they announced that the christening of their son, Archie, would be a private affair and that they'd be keeping the identities of his godparents private, both of which were a departure from how Will and Kate went about things with their three children.

While "the Queen accepted Harry and Meghan's decision to keep the event private" and cap the guest list to an intimate 25 or so guests, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge "weren't happy about it," an insider told Us Weekly.

Their decision to keep details under wraps around Archie's christening isn't the first time that Meghan and Harry have strayed from royal routine. While Duchess Kate famously debuted all three of her babies on the steps of the Lindo Wing just hours after giving birth, Meghan and Harry announced ahead of their son's arrival that they would wait to debut their newborn on their own time. (They ended up waiting nearly 48 hours before holding a controlled photo-call inside Windsor Castle back in May.)

Though sources say that the new parents are looking to instill privacy in an effort to give him a "normal family environment," as far as his older brother is concerned, Harry and Meghan's efforts to maintain such privacy around their son, despite being high-profile members of the royal family, have gotten out of hand.

"William thinks his brother is going overboard keeping Archie out of the spotlight," the Us Weekly insider said, adding that the future king reportedly "blames Meghan" for the trend.

While their different approach to parenting in the face of public scrutiny may not be William's cup of tea -- or constant Meghan critic Piers Morgan's, for that matter -- disagreement from the rest of their family isn't going to stop Meghan and Harry from doing things their own way.

"This is not a couple that will conform if they don't feel it's right for them," a People insider explained. "It's that simple."

Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Seeking Prince William and Kate Middleton's Advice for Their Africa Trip - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their son, Archie Harrison, back in May and the couple just recently shared with the world an exciting news: they will be taking their child abroad for the first time.

Traveling with a little one can be very challenging, but fortunately for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, they have the more experienced Prince William and Kate Middleton who can help.

In fact, despite the alleged feud between the two sides, it looks like the Sussexes are seeking valuable advice from the Cambridges. Read on below to learn more about what the two couples reportedly discussed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will go on a royal tour in Africa

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced on their Instagram page that in October the family will come to Southern Africa on a two-week royal tour. They will visit South Africa, Malawi, and Angola as well as make a quick trip to Botswana.

“The Duke and Duchess are really looking forward to meeting so many of you on the ground and continuing to raise awareness of the high impact work local communities are doing across the commonwealth and beyond,” the post said.

Prince Harry has done a lot of work in this African region. Most famously, he helped found the organization Sentebale to help children in Lesotho, Malawi, and Botswana who have been affected by AIDS.

This will not be Meghan Markle’s first overseas tour; she notably went to Morocco with Prince Harry earlier this year. However, this will be the first time that the couple are taking Archie Harrison abroad and he will not even be a year old yet.

Prince William and Kate Middleton once toured Australia with Prince George

There’s no doubt that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a lot on their mind about taking their newborn son abroad. However, perhaps it is comforting to have Prince William and Kate Middleton around for guidance.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went on a 19-day tour to Australia in 2014 when their son George was less than a year old. Although it was a serious visit, royal followers had a lot of fun seeing photographs of Prince George doing things such as meeting a bilby and receiving a giant plush wombat from Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove.

What can Prince Harry and Meghan Markle learn from the Cambridges?

A source told Us Weekly that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are doing as much as possible to keep baby Archie safe and happy. For example, drawing from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s experience, the Sussexes will likely “establish a base they can commute from, rather than spend the nights in lots of different countries.”

And while many fans are excited about seeing photos of Archie, the insider shared that the public should not expect to see too many. “Archie’s going with his parents because they don’t want to leave him behind in the U.K., not because they want to show him off at every stop.”

Since Archie is very young and still need a lot of vaccinations, there are reasons to believe that the couple will not take him everywhere. The source said that “it’s likely that Archie will only be present on certain safer parts of the trip, such as South Africa, leaving Harry and Meghan to travel by themselves to engagements in other countries.”

In order to have someone take care of Archie while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working, it’s possible that the couple will also bring a nanny along. They recently hired a nanny who reportedly quit after two weeks, so they will have to look for another person to take with them to Africa in the fall.
