Meghan Markle has been criticised for posting a series of personal social media clips-including a recent dancing video and a Father’s Day reel.

Royal commentator Ingrid Seward has accused Meghan Markle of blatant hypocrisy over a Father’s Day video featuring Prince Harry and their children. In an interview shared on YouTube, the Editor of Majesty magazine said: “They begged for privacy and now suddenly Meghan is flooding the marketplace with photographs of their children.”

The footage, released via Meghan’s Instagram account, was been described by Ms Seward as “charming” – but at odds with the couple’s long-standing objections to media exposure. Ms Seward added: “Everything they do online is aimed at them being able to make more money—otherwise why on earth would they do it?”

She suggested Prince Harry may be “uncomfortable” with the publicity, implying it is Meghan driving the push for visibility.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry quit royal life five years ago, and appear to be happier than ever. While they have criticised their time as senior royals multiple times since quitting, they seem to have finally found their happy place in Montecito, California.

At the time of their royal exit in 2020, Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, seemed keen to have a “half-in, half-out” approach when it came to royal life, wanting to continue working for the Crown while also gaining financial independence. However as this would not be fitting with normal royal behaviour, the late Queen did not permit this, resulting in Harry and Meghan letting go of all their royal duties.
