In a recent commentary, royal author Ingrid Seward has taken issue with Meghan Markle's choice to share a photograph of her daughter, Lilibet, on social media. Seward suggests that this act undermines the couple's expressed desire for a private life free from the scrutiny of photographers, which Prince Harry had previously voiced during his departure from royal duties. The contradiction arises from Harry's past statements to his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, about wanting to raise their family without constant public attention.

Seward describes Meghan’s actions as hypocritical, arguing that sharing such a photo serves more as a display of vanity rather than being a genuine gesture of affection toward their children. By posting pictures of their children, it raises questions about the couple's commitment to their previously stated wishes for privacy. The narrative suggests that this move could reflect a broader trend in celebrity culture where the lines between private life and public persona become increasingly blurred.

The implications of Meghan's actions create a discussion about privacy within the royal family and the pressures of public life. As the couple navigates their roles outside of royal duties, maintaining authenticity in their principles versus the allure of public attention remains a significant tension. This situation highlights the ongoing public fascination with the couple, especially regarding their approach to parenting and privacy in the digital age.
