Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Criticized for Sharing Kids’ Video on Father’s Day
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who stepped away from royal duties in 2020 to seek a more private life, are facing fresh backlash after sharing a personal family video online. On Father’s Day, Meghan posted a clip of Harry with their children, Archie and Lilibet, on Instagram—a rare glimpse into their family life that quickly ignited criticism.
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward called the move “hypocritical,” pointing out the couple’s long-standing request for privacy. She argued that publicizing such an intimate moment contradicts their past demands and raises questions about their true intentions.
Critics also noted the irony, given the couple’s work through their Archewell Foundation advocating for online safety and child protection. Sharing videos of their own children, some say, blurs the line between advocacy and publicity.
While Seward believes Harry might not be fully comfortable with the post, she assumes he approved it. The incident has reignited the ongoing debate: are Harry and Meghan redefining privacy—or exploiting it?
