Meghan Markle gets dragged for new Lilibet photo

Meghan Markle is mocked for sharing pictures of Princess Lilibet despite cries of privacy.

The Duchess of Sussex, who turned to her Instagram on Valentine’s Day to share a photo of Princess Lilibet and Prince Harry, is called out for hypocrisy.

In a thread of online reactions, netizens are poking fun at the Duchess.

One user wrote: "Well that didn't take long did it? Showing the kids' faces now. So after Prince Harry and Meghan moaned on and on about leaving the royal family for 'privacy', wanting to give their kids freedom. They saddle them down with Prince and Princess titles even though they live in America."

Another critic posted online about Meghan: "The hypocrisy is strong with this one."

A third added: "Haz was just fake crying about the dangers of social media and children and a day later they post this! Just proving what lying hypocrites they are."

A troll then asks: "How come that over the months they have gone down to just one child, a girl, I thought they had a boy as well, is he not photogenic enough?"

This comes as a representative of the Sussexes said: "In their view, there is a fundamental difference between voluntarily posting a single, curated image and being subjected to constant surveillance by photographers. They see one as an intentional act of sharing within boundaries they set themselves, and the other as an invasive loss of agency."

The insider continued: "For Harry and Meghan, the key issue has always been about consent and control. They argue that deciding when and how to show a glimpse of their family life is not the same as having it extracted without permission. While critics can feel free to interpret it as mixed messaging, the Sussexes consider it a deliberate exercise in managing their own narrative rather than surrendering it to outside forces."

Another insider said: "There is always going to be a delicate balancing act when you are campaigning for tougher online protections while also using social media as a communication tool. That paradox is exactly what critics latch onto, they see participation as endorsement, even if the intention is reform."
