Meghan Markle mocked for sharing then quickly deleting clip showing her children’s faces

MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle posted a video on Instagram that contained a split-second frame of her children facing the camera, and she ended up taking down the post after she realized the mistake.

The Instagram Reel showed Prince Harry carving a jack-o'-lantern from start to finish, along with cleaning out the pumpkin's seeds. 

However, in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it frame, Harry and Meghan's children -  Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4 - were seen playing in the background without their faces being covered.

Archie and Lilibet makes unexpected appearance in Meghan Markle's reel

The Instagram reel was shot in the family's backyard at their Montecito, California, mansion, after they returned from picking out Halloween pumpkins at a lot in nearby Santa Barbara.

Interestingly, hardly two seconds into the video, the children were seen where Archie wore a dark short-sleeved shirt that he wore to the pumpkin stand, while his sister was in a pink knit pyjama-style top and bottoms.

Lilibet's face was visible for a brief glimpse in the now-deleted reel, although she was moving too fast for her eyes to be clearly seen.

Meanwhile, Archie was seen running across the screen in front of his sister while the Duke of Sussex started to carve the eyes of his pumpkin into triangle shapes.

Moreover, in a Sunday, October 26, video which the Duchess of Sussex posted, showed the children on the trip to the pumpkin patch, though all shots showed them from behind and their faces were not visible this time.

Interestingly, Meghan Markle slowly began featuring the children more and more ahead of the launch of the Netflix show 'With Love, Meghan', as they joined her in the kitchen and garden.

The Duchess of Sussex has continued to share content with her children, but has never given a frontal glimpse of what they look like.

However, the only time the couple gave a direct view of the children was in their December 2021 family Christmas card.

The card featured Archie looking to the side and smiling while sitting on Harry's lap. Meghan and Harry's attention was drawn to laughing baby Lilibet, who was wearing a delicate white dress as Meghan hoisted her into the air.

Internet trolls Meghan Markle

Several internet users trolled Meghan Markle after she posted and deleted an Instagram reel which for a brief second showed her children's face.

A user wrote on X, "It’s not like you can really see them it’s blurry from the video. But I’m sure Meghan wants everyone to make a big deal about it. The removed that part of the video from her IG but it’s already been shared everywhere so it’s out there," while one added, "It’s funny when you think about it because the reality is that even if she exposes the kids faces, no one would recognize them. No one knows how they look like and she can always claim those are someone else’s kids."

A person also stated, "She posts pictures of these children and then cries about the dangers of social media?" whereas one mentioned, "There were kids there!?! And which one was Harry??? All i saw was a lot of ORANGE!!!"

A user also wrote, "So desperate," while one commented, "For people who state they do not want publicity they certainly go out of there way to court it."
