It’s no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle don’t see eye to eye when it comes their children’s privacy.

Despite the Spare author reportedly telling his wife that he doesn’t want a repeat of his own childhood – i.e., growing up constantly in the media spotlight with little to no privacy – the former Suits actress still appears to be comfortable sharing pictures and videos of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Albeit, with their faces covered. And she shared even more pictures over the weekend!

Meghan Markle Shares Pictures Of Her Kids Despite Prince Harry’s Requests For Privacy

At the start of the month, the As Ever founder posted several pictures to mark Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday. She also treated her Instagram followers to snaps and videos from the family’s Disneyland trip, which many people, including Piers Morgan, found puzzling given Prince Harry’s repeated requests for privacy.

A few months ago, an insider told New Idea that Prince Harry did not want his children to appear on Meghan’s Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. The insider said he was “very protective” and put his “foot down,” insisting they not be included. The insider added at the time: “Harry is very proud of Meghan over this new show. But he definitely would not have wanted his kids involved. Even letting them appear on social media is a surprising concession from him.”

So with all of this in mind, it’s not surprising to hear that the mom-of-two is facing backlash for all the pictures and videos she has been sharing lately!

The Duchess of Sussex, as she is still known, shared more pictures and video footage of their children for Father's Day on Sunday, June 15th, which the internet believes is a further insult to the Duke of Sussex! Meghan's post was captioned: "The best. Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy."

The montage included Prince Harry playing ball with Archie on the driveway, walking barefoot on the beach while holding hands with Lilibet, proudly holding his newborn and smiling, reading a bedtime story with Archie, running alongside Archie who is riding his bike with Lilibet running behind them, and much more.

While many fans appreciated the rare and intimate glimpses into their family life, others were quick to point out the apparent hypocrisy... 

Internet Reactions

"Privacy," commented one person on a Daily Mail article featuring the pictures, followed by an eye rolling emoji. "What an insult to her husband," slammed a second, in reference to Prince Harry's pleas for privacy, as a third added: "The Worldwide Privacy Tour continues."

"She's so predictable. None of her ventures have been successful, so it's time to trot out the children," criticized a fourth, as a fifth concurred: "Getting desperate now, so bring on the kids." A sixth noted: "She wanted privacy for her kids. Said she wouldn't release who was godmother etc details about the birth. Seems that was all for effect at the time. Now she's hoping to make money out of her children. Horrible woman."

"Why make something so personal public when they are after privacy? Are they bringing the kids out now to boost their own ratings in the media?" asked a seventh reader, as an eighth echoed: "For two people who wanted their privacy, they sure post a lot of pictures."
