Megan Markle's claim about buying a camera for her son Archie was called into question by a friend and photographer, Misan Harman.
During a post-screening conversation with filmmaker Misan and actor David Ooloo for their short film "The After," Megan shared how Misan had been teaching her four-year-old son Archie about photography. She praised Misan's impact on Archie, stating that he had inspired the young boy. However, Megan's claim about buying Archie a camera to encourage his passion was met with skepticism.
She mentioned a specific camera brand, Laker, known for its high-end, handcrafted German cameras that are notoriously expensive, with some models retailing for £8,000. Observers noted that Misan appeared uncomfortable when Megan mentioned the camera and suggested that Megan's body language indicated discomfort and blinking out of control, implying deception. Some critics questioned the authenticity of Megan's parenting details, claiming inconsistencies and speculating about the existence of her children.
In contrast to Megan's account, Harry frequently shares details about their family life in Santa Barbara, including interactions with their children. During the Invictus Games, which he founded for wounded soldiers, Harry spoke about conversations with his son Archie, sharing aspirations of becoming an astronaut or pilot.
Harry emphasized the importance of character and revealed that Archie inherited his cheeky side. In his memoir, Harry mentioned Archie accidentally breaking a Christmas ornament belonging to the late Queen on their tree. Similarly, Harry described his daughter Lily as "very chilled" during the WellChild Awards, noting that she seems content to sit while Archie runs around energetically. However, some critics find Harry and Megan's demeanor concerning their children peculiar and possibly rehearsed, with Megan appearing studied and unnatural when discussing them.
The conflicting narratives surrounding Megan's camera purchase for Archie and the scrutiny over their parenting details have contributed to ongoing skepticism and speculation about the authenticity of the couple's public persona and family life.
