Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen celebrating Halloween this year with their two young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in their Californian neighbourhood.
The family-of-four were seen out and about in Montecito with a host of other young families as they went trick-or-treating. Archie held his dad's hand, with a pumpkin basket in the other, ready to collect sweets. The young prince appeared to be dressed as a skeleton. Meanwhile, Meghan carried her daughter who was dressed in a sweet pink costume.
The family of four were pictured walking along the road with their neighbours in a clip that circulated online, with it now revealed that the Californian-based family want a "normal family life to be captured by cameras" despite having previously asked for privacy.
PR Strategist and Mentor at PR with Perkes, Laura Perkes, has revealed her thoughts on the sweet family display on Halloween night. Giving her expert analysis to us, Laura said: "It may be that they wanted to create a family tradition, taking Archie and Lilibet trick or treating, to show that they're 'just a normal family' doing normal things, but to me it feels like a PR stunt in disguise.
"It's the image they want to portray. The reason they stepped down as working Royals was to have more freedom away from the scrutiny of the media eye, yet they want their 'normal family life' captured by photographers, no doubt to achieve more positive publicity."
Laura went on to add: "Harry has done some amazing things with the Invictus Games and for publicly opening up about mental health, but sadly it now feels as though he's using these platforms to boost his own personal image and reputation, which is sad, because he has done so much, and had the opportunity to do so much more, but most people now are wary of working with the couple because of their behaviour and the choices that they've made."
