Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are keeping their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, away from the public glare because to safety concerns.
Harry is particularly aware of the hazards as he campaigns for increased security measures for his family, following the terrible loss of his mother, Princess Diana, in a high-speed automobile pursuit in 1997.
A friend of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told PEOPLE in this week's cover story that Harry's reluctance to publicly showcase his children stems from a desire to preserve their privacy and safety, not a desire to keep them hidden.
"He wants them to have as normal a life as possible, free from fears of kidnapping or harm."
The insider went on to say that as a parent and husband, he is dedicated to preventing similar tragedies from occurring again.
Several individuals close to Prince Harry have told PEOPLE that the Duke of Sussex feels King Charles has the right to reinstall his bodyguards.
However, Buckingham royal has declined to comment on security issues, and a royal source has indicated that the notion that Harry's security is under the King's supervision is "wholly incorrect."
This change has turned the discourse away from frustration and toward what the buddy describes as "complete silence" from the King.
"Harry has been hesitant to show his children publicly not out of a desire to hide them but to shield them from potential threats," said one of the friends.
Prince Harry's bid to reinstate his taxpayer-funded protection through legal procedures was failed earlier this year, but he intends to challenge the decision.
