Despite the couple’s strong public stance on digital safety and privacy, some observers believe their actions are inconsistent with their words. One prominent voice, Ingrid Seward—Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine—called Meghan’s latest post “hypocritical” in an interview with The Sun.

“They begged for privacy, and now suddenly Meghan is flooding the marketplace with photographs of their children,” Seward stated. She added that while the Father’s Day video was “actually charming,” it contradicts the couple’s earlier decisions to keep their family life private.

Seward suggested that the increased visibility of their children could be a strategic move to maintain relevance and public interest. “Everything they do online is aimed at them being able to make more money—otherwise why on earth would they do it?”

A Difference in Comfort Levels?

The royal expert also questioned whether Prince Harry fully supported the decision to post the video. While she speculated that Meghan wouldn’t have published such personal footage without Harry’s awareness, she hinted that he might not be entirely comfortable with it.

“Harry isn’t really a great self-promoter. Unlike his wife, who is,” Seward remarked, implying that Meghan is more comfortable in the public eye.

The Bigger Conversation: Privacy vs. Public Life

This latest debate once again raises the broader question of how public figures manage their family’s privacy—especially when they’ve chosen to step away from royal responsibilities but remain active in the public sphere.

Is it possible to advocate for privacy while occasionally choosing to share glimpses of personal life? Or do such moments inevitably undermine the message?
