Just when it seemed Meghan Markle had exhausted every possible way to profit from her royal connections, she found another angle—this time, using her most valuable assets: Archie and Lilibet. In what can only be described as a masterclass in self-promotion, she presented the world with yet another carefully curated, soft-lit, and supposedly heartfelt image of herself nestled between her two children.
Predictably, their faces were turned away from the camera because, of course, privacy is paramount—at least until it becomes a useful tool for engagement and brand promotion. The timing of this sentimental Instagram post was no coincidence, as it conveniently aligned with the launch of her new “Shop My” page. Leaving royal life behind hasn’t stopped Meghan from recognizing a PR opportunity when she sees one. "Every day is a love story," she captioned the image, proving once again that nothing says maternal devotion quite like leveraging one’s children to drive sales.
Unsurprisingly, royal insiders were less than impressed with this latest venture. One expert dismissed it as a blatant cash grab, while another criticized the tactic as exploitative, pointing out that Archie and Lilibet remain in the royal line of succession. But does Meghan care? Hardly. She has far more pressing matters—like repackaging the same neutral-toned aesthetic and selling it as modern luxury. Meanwhile, Prince Harry’s whereabouts in all of this remain a mystery. Perhaps he’s hiding out somewhere, contemplating his life choices while flipping through a worn-out copy of Spare. Or maybe he’s deep in a meditation retreat, attempting to manifest a world in which he isn't constantly called out for hypocrisy—the same man who sued the British press for invading his family’s privacy now watching as his wife strategically markets their children to sell everything from jam to linen shirts.
This is merely the latest installment in Meghan’s ongoing mission to remain in the spotlight. From her failed Spotify deal to her awkwardly orchestrated faux-royal tours, it’s been a turbulent road. And when all else fails? Cue the children. The same ones she fought to shield from the public eye are now front and center, transformed into little Sussex mannequins, props for the next round of carefully staged content. Meanwhile, Harry remains conspicuously absent, possibly lost in thought over childhood grievances—like getting fewer breakfast sausages than his brother—or perhaps drafting Spare 2: The Beige Years. Regardless, the man who once vowed to protect his family at all costs now seems remarkably comfortable watching his wife parade their children around for clicks.
But word has it that this time, Harry isn’t taking it so well. Rumors suggest that the couple had a heated argument following Meghan’s latest monetization strategy, with sources claiming Harry finally hit his breaking point. Allegedly, he told Meghan he was done with their children being turned into marketing tools. Insiders reported that voices were raised, doors were slammed, and Harry stormed off for a long solo drive along the California coast—either to clear his mind or simply escape the influencer-fueled circus that is his home life.
And so, the ultimate question remains: Why can’t Harry see what’s so obvious to the rest of the world? That his wife’s entire brand is built on the very behaviors they once condemned? That the moral high ground they once clung to has crumbled beneath an avalanche of sponsorships, commercial tie-ins, and carefully curated social media moments?
