Meghan Markle appears to be shifting away from her once-firm stance on family privacy by sharing more content featuring her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on social media.
On June 4, the Duchess posted a video on Instagram of herself dancing and twerking while heavily pregnant with Lilibet, in celebration of her daughter’s fourth birthday.
The video quickly went viral, sparking both public interest and criticism. Royal expert Hugo Vickers has since suggested that Archie and Lilibet might one day resent their mother for using their images for public attention.
“Terrible Revenge” Predicted From the Children
Appearing on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show with royal editor Matt Wilkinson and journalist Samara Gill, Vickers shared his concerns about how the Sussex children have been portrayed online—often with blurred or obscured faces.
He commented, “I just think there’s gonna be a terrible revenge when those children grow up… I would be very annoyed if I found that I’d been used in all these posts in a strange way by my parents.”
Vickers also pointed out the emotional impact of the children growing up without knowing their grandfathers. “Equally they’re also going to grow up at one point and discover that they never knew their grandparents, their grandfathers.”
