Is she putting her daughter at risk? Royal Family member receives ire over new social media post

The Royal Family has long been a source of fascination and scrutiny.

Their every action and statement has been dissected by the public and media alike.

This time, another family member sparked a debate about privacy on social media and the Royal Family's role in the modern world.


The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, recently posted a video of her daughter, Princess Lilibet, online.

The video featured the young princess speaking for the first time.

However, the video left viewers and royal onlookers both charmed and shocked.

In the video, Meghan asked her daughter, 'What do we think, Lili?'

Princess Lilibet, with a distinctly American accent, responded, 'I think it's beautiful.'

This innocent interaction raised people's eyebrows due to the Duchess's stance on social media and its impact on children.

She and her husband, Prince Harry, have been vocal about the adverse effects of social media on children.

However, their children have been increasingly visible on their mother's social media accounts.


Last Wednesday, 23 April, Meghan and Prince Harry were in New York for the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, which honoured young lives lost to harm brought by social media.

'Life is better off social media,' Prince Harry stated, expressing his relief that their children were too young to engage with it.

Yet, days later, the world saw the young princess on social media.

Earlier this year, Meghan Markle returned to social media.

Along with her return was the re-branding of her lifestyle company, As Ever, and the premiere of her new TV show, With Love, Meghan.

Her social media feed has featured Archie and Lili in various scenes, with their faces never fully shown on camera.


At the same time, the Sussexes' Archewell Foundation has been actively combatting the dangers of social media for young people.

They recently partnered with the Social Media Victims Law Centre and co-founded the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund.

Prince Harry has been particularly outspoken about the risks smartphones and social media pose to children's mental health and development.

The Duchess's decision to share moments of her children's lives online while advocating for their privacy was seen as a delicate balancing act.

It raised questions about the role of public figures in shaping conversations on social media and their responsibilities as parents in the digital age.

I love these videos and her TV show giving an insight into her life.

To me she seems to be a great mother who spends time with her children

Easy solution for those who don't care or don't like her , just move on and leave them alone 💯 😁
 
Don't think was her child's voice - the voice sounded too old for such a young child. So desperate to sell her jam she uses her child though?
