Meghan Markle’s Kids Crash Her New Video, But People Spot Odd Detail That Might Prove It’s All “Staged”

Meghan Markle posted an Instagram video to promote her lifestyle brand As Ever’s collaboration with High Camp Supply, a luxury flower purveyor, on Wednesday, March 18, featuring cameos from her and Prince Harry’s kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The behind-the-scenes footage showed the Duchess of Sussex arranging blooms outdoors and came alongside the caption, “Mama’s little helpers.”

Despite Markle presenting the upload as a candid moment that took place while she took care of her business, netizens believe it was “staged.”

Their argument stemmed from the video expertly concealing her children’s faces, with one pointing at a vase of flowers being “conveniently placed” for that purpose.

The footage opened with Markle asking one of her kids off-screen, “Are you having fun, my love?”

The video then cut forward and showed her and Prince Harry’s 6-year-old son, Prince Archie, briefly running into the frame, his face aligning with a tall vase of flowers before dashing away.

The camera cut again, and Markle said, “Archie,” with a laugh as a child’s voice in the background called out, “Mom.”

Princess Lilibet, 4, then walked into the video, her face being hidden by the same vase that kept her brother’s face from being revealed.

She whispered something into her mother’s ear, leading her to say, “Yes, I think you can. Let’s go, let’s go,” and they ran out of the frame together.

Critics on social media found the content with the Sussex kids somewhat suspicious.

“The insanity of being able to hide the child’s face exactly behind those flowers. She’s crazy,” one wrote, while another echoed, “Give me a break. This is not ‘behind-the-scenes footage.’ This is clearly staged for the kids to be hidden. She’s so fake, like we don’t have eyes.”

#MeghanMarkle is nothing if not predictable. This time she talks to “Archie” but we never actually see any sign of him, but of course her favorite kid is front and center.

“What a clever way to show off the kids while pretending to worry about privacy and security. She is insulting everyone’s intelligence,” a third remarked.

“The video was so spontaneous that she took time to place a huge flower in front of Archie and Lilibet’s faces,” someone else sounded off, while another wondered, “How many times did she rehearse this? Yelling at her kids to not look at the camera or placing the flowers exactly where her kids’ faces are?”

Not all comments were against Meghan, with her fans being as fierce in their defense of her as critics were in their criticism

“The amount of hate for this woman is incredible! People hardly have kind words for the mother of two adorable children. I feel sorry that they will have to grow up and see all this negativity,” one wrote.

“With all the horrible things going on in the world, people taking time to be bothered by a mom and her kids just boggles my mind,” expressed a second.

A third simply cheered on the duchess, writing, “I adore her so much. Go, Meghan!”

“This woman is beautiful, but all I can see is people being jealous all over,” noted a fourth.

“Lovely family. Be blessed abundantly,” a fifth offered.

A separate user called those asking for her kids’ pictures “weirdos,” while another advised haters to give up their “disgusting behavior towards Meghan.”

The As Ever video at one point showed Meghan and Princess Lilibet pouring a jug of water into a large container at the flower-arranging station.

The still showed the duchess giving her daughter, whose back was turned to the camera and had red hair on full display, a look of love.

While some on social media noted that the princess’s hair was the “same color” as Prince Harry’s, others focused on how it appeared frizzy.

“Meghan can buy anything she wants but can’t afford a hairbrush for her little girl,” one commented, with another requesting a member of Meghan’s filming entourage to “please brush that child’s hair.”

“It always looks like it needs a good brush,” a third agreed.

A Meghan supporter, meanwhile, defended Princess Lilibet’s mane, saying, “My kids hate to comb their hair too.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” a netizen said about Markle’s new Instagram upload
