Meghan Markle recently posted a photo dump on her Instagram account with the caption “springing into summer”.
However, fans were quick to notice that one photo, which had Meghan and Prince Harry in a side hug, appeared to show a 2017 date stamp that may have been accidentally left visible.
Why Meghan Markle’s latest Instagram photo dump is drawing attention online
The carousel post sported glimpses of the Sussexes’ family moments: Prince Harry playing with his son Archie, Lilibet wearing a Beyoncé T-shirt, lifestyle and garden imagery, and a never-before-seen photo of Harry and Meghan. The latter image drew particular attention after fans noticed what appeared to be a visible date stamp, sparking discussion across social media.
One person wrote on X: “Meghan was posting pics and accidentally didn’t crop one. She wanted us to think this photo from 2017 was recent!” Another criticized her, saying, “This is embarrassing.”
Comments continued to pour in as more fans realized the mistake. A netizen commented, “She is getting sloppy,” while another detailed the mistake, saying, “She posted 11 photos and probably realised she didn’t have a recent one with her and Harry. It was probably rushed.”
Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, citing concerns over privacy and what they described as the “silencing” of their voices in order to maintain royal decorum. Since then, the couple has settled in California, where they are raising their children while focusing on media projects and business ventures.
The latest post continues Meghan’s approach to social media, sharing carefully curated family moments while continuing to keep her children’s faces largely out of the public eye. The strategy has helped keep interest in the Sussexes’ lives while allowing Meghan greater control over how her family’s story is presented.
DO YOU THINK THAT THIS MISTAKE WILL IMPACT THE COUPLE’S CREDIBILITY?
