Duchess’s Instagram post seen as subtle message to King Charles after Harry’s emotional remarks
Meghan Markle has drawn criticism following a recent Instagram post that some claim has intensified the ongoing tension between Prince Harry and King Charles.
The Duchess of Sussex shared a black-and-white image showing the Duke walking through the garden of their Montecito home with Princess Lilibet on his shoulders and Archie walking beside him. The post came just a day after Harry’s emotional interview with the BBC, in which he discussed his father’s health and their strained relationship.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun that the timing and content of the post seemed deliberate. “It looked like she was saying, ‘Look what you’re missing. Here’s your son and here are your grandchildren that you probably won’t see,’” she said, suggesting the image was a subtle dig at the monarch.
The controversy followed Harry’s rejected appeal over his UK security status, which led to his appearance in the media. The interview's proximity to the royal family’s VE Day celebrations further raised concerns about its timing.
Shortly afterward, Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement, asserting: “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
While Meghan’s post may appear to reflect a private family moment, critics argue that its timing sent a pointed public message, potentially reigniting tensions within the royal household.
