Meghan Markle has faced backlash online after sharing a photograph at Althorp Estate on Thursday. The image shows Prince Harry and Prince Archie carrying flowers, with Princess Lilibet walking behind them.
Photo sparks criticism
Fans recognised the background as the Althorp Estate gardens, leading many to assume the photograph was taken before the family visited Princess Diana’s resting place. Harry and Archie are also carrying flowers, which they could have been taken to put down at Diana’s grave.
This has resulted in many criticising the 44-year-old Duchess for sharing the moment. One person wrote on X: “She has no shame or respect. And Harry is no different. Diana's family should be appalled.”
Public reaction
Another person commented: “You have to admit, this is pretty sickening. The holiday pictures are fine, but to take photos of the children carrying flowers on their way to lay them at Diana’s grave, is not something that should be shared with the public like a fun day out. It’s ghoulish.”
Someone else said: “I’m actually shocked she’d post this. That’s a new low.” Another added: “I'm sure we'll see it all soon enough on Netflix.”
Family visit details
While Harry was in the UK for almost a week, his wife and two children only flew into the UK for a few days. This was reportedly due to security concerns. Meghan, Archie and Lilibet made no public appearances and weren’t seen publicly on their trip to the UK. Instead, they only enjoyed private family time, which included a Highgrove reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla, and time at Althorp House with Harry’s uncle, Earl Charles Spencer.
The photograph at Althorp shared by Meghan was one of a few snaps the duchess shared with her followers on Thursday, showing the family’s “summer holiday”.
