Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal life in 2020 seeking privacy for their family. Despite their initial efforts—rarely sharing images of their children, Archie and Lilibet—that privacy has since eroded.
Meghan recently shared a Father’s Day video of Harry with their kids on Instagram, marking a shift in their media approach. While the post was well-received by some, it sparked backlash from critics who called the couple hypocritical for previously guarding their children’s privacy so strictly.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward criticized Meghan for “flooding the marketplace” with images after long demanding privacy. She suggested the move could be financially motivated and speculated Harry might be uneasy with the exposure.
Despite advocating for online safety for children through their Archewell Foundation, the couple’s recent public posts of their kids have raised questions about their consistency and intent.
