Meghan Markle’s children pic spotted in Gloria Steinem’s home, Internet calls it ‘coldly calculated’ move

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made it clear that their children, Archie and Lilibet, are off-limits to the public.

But a recent celebrity home tour may have given the world an unexpected glimpse of the little royals and social media isn’t buying that it was a coincidence, as reported by The List.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s children appear in Gloria Steinem’s home tour

The surprise cameo came during a feature by Architectural Digest on feminist icon Gloria Steinem’s eclectic home. As Steinem showcased her vibrant space, eagle-eyed viewers spotted something curious, a framed black-and-white photo of Harry, Meghan, and their children, prominently placed on an end table. The candid image showed the Sussex family smiling together, with Archie sweetly resting his hand on Meghan’s forehead.

Though the photo’s exact date is unclear, Archie and Lilibet appear to be much younger, suggesting it was taken some time ago. But that hasn’t stopped the internet from questioning why such a private image especially one featuring the children just happened to be in plain sight for the world to see.

Harry and Meghan are notoriously selective about sharing images of their kids. Their 2024 Christmas card, for instance, only showed Archie and Lilibet from behind. So when this full family portrait surfaced in such a high-profile setting, skepticism erupted online.

The Sussexes’ approach to privacy has often sparked debate, especially given their strained relationship with the royal family.

In January 2025, she shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute to her late dog, Guy, featuring personal home videos where Archie and Lilibet could be heard singing.

Internet convinced Meghan Markle & Prince Harry strategically featured kids in Gloria Steinem’s home tour

The internet is buzzing with theories after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s children were prominently featured in Gloria Steinem’s home tour, with many convinced it was a strategic move.

One skeptical user questioned the display, writing, "Why would you display other people’s children in your home, pushing your own child/grandchild’s picture to the back? This display is everything but accidental." Another doubted the authenticity, saying, "Photoshopped and staged."

Observant fans pointed out details, with one noting, "Why are all the other pics in frames, but that's still in its cardboard sleeve?"

"That was coldly calculated!!!," a user said while another wrote, "This is so pathetic as if we don’t know it was calculated in advance."

Another user commented, "I dont believe this is coincidental. This is planned and calculated. Even maybe manipulated picture by MM to gain sympathy after all the backlash. The hidden kids are the last pond. Even speaking with Thomas wouldnt bring back MM likeability back! The narc is done in Hollywood."
