Meghan Markle’s carousel of images featuring Lili, Archie, and even the couple themselves has not landed well in the slightest and now a source has come forward to reveal what they think about the entire frenzy of hate being directed at their personal choices.

However, before the source decided to address their reaction, they made one thing clear, and that’s the overarching belief that Prince harry has no say in what happens on Meghan’s Instagram feed, even when it involves the children.

In the eyes of the source, “for so long Meghan has taken all the blame for anything they do that appears to be aimed at getting attention, but it’s becoming harder and harder for people to let Harry off the hook, especially after this photo of Lilibet that’s clearly taken at Althorp because it’s just impossible to believe he wouldn't have signed off on it.”

They also offered their own two cents to Heat and admitted, “this whole narrative that Meghan is making all the decisions and Harry has no choice in any of it, just doesn't make sense.”

as for the Sussexes, and what they think of the entire thing – including the hate they source said, “of course Meghan and Harry don't see it that way at all, as far as they're concerned all this criticism is just proving that anything they do will be seen through a negative lens.”

Moreover there’s also the simple fact that “to have people tearing into them for sharing an innocent photo of a child in a garden is so absurd it doesn’t warrant any sort of response,” in their eyes.

All in all, “they feel they’re going to be looked down on no matter what they do, so they’re past the point of even paying it any attention.”

So, “if the royals want to play that game then so be it, they can’t control what other people think of them and would rather just rise above it. They certainly aren’t going to bend to this sort of nonsense,” the source concluded by saying.
