A royal source has claimed that the picture Meghan Markle posted en route to Diana's grave was shared against Queen Camilla's explicit request not to use social media during her recent UK visit.
Meghan returned to Instagram last year, with her first post shared on New Year's Day 2025. Since then, she has shared insights into her life away from the royal family, motherhood and her work commitments. During her return to the UK last month – her first trip there since 2022 – Queen Camilla reportedly asked Meghan not to post anything from the visit.
Source: Camilla's words 'fallen on deaf ears'
According to a royal source speaking to New Idea, King Charles and Queen Camilla were left "unimpressed" by Meghan's decision to post an image en route to Diana's grave. They told the publication: "Camilla's words appear to have fallen on deaf ears. She feels that she was clear about no social media posts and if Meghan thinks Allthorp was an exception, she was very wrong."
Private family meeting
Camilla was reportedly adamant that nothing from the meeting at Highgrove House should be shared online. The meeting was held purely for the King's two youngest grandchildren, who he had not seen in person since 2022.
"She made it clear that this was for Archie and Lilibet," the insider explained, "but if there were any leaks about their meeting, the door would be closed forever."
The picture thought to have been taken at the Althorp estate – now owned by Harry's uncle Earl Spencer – shows Lilibet walking along, following Harry and her older brother. The meeting at Highgrove House is said to have taken place on July 10 and is thought to have lasted around an hour.
