Overview
- On Oct. 26, Meghan Markle posted an Instagram video from a Santa Barbara pumpkin patch that briefly showed Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet before the clip was edited, according to the Daily Mirror.
- Entertainment reports from RadarOnline, relayed by Geo News, claim the appearance was a deliberate strategy to shape public perception of the children and their future brand potential, a contention that remains unverified.
- The Mirror frames the moment as an inadvertent lapse that was quickly corrected to align with the Sussexes’ practice of keeping their children’s faces private.
- Prince Harry has recently urged parents to be cautious about posting children’s photos online, citing safety risks and the rise of unregulated AI during remarks on Hasan Minhaj’s YouTube channel.
- Geo News notes the reel drew millions of views and also featured Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, and longtime friend Markus Anderson.
