Whether ghosts, birds, or simply well-meaning treats from a festive kitchen, the cupcakes added an unexpectedly viral twist to an otherwise wholesome post.
Meghan, now 43, appeared unbothered by the chatter, sharing a smiling selfie with Harry and a few scenic shots of their day, complete with red-white-and-blue themed desserts. As one user commented, “At least we know they’re celebrating the day with humor and cupcakes.”
She continues to embrace social media — on her own terms
The Instagram post comes just weeks after Meghan sparked mixed reactions with a behind-the-scenes video of herself and Harry dancing in a delivery room — part of a lighthearted ‘labour dance’ they did before the birth of their daughter Lilibet, who turned four on June 4.

Some fans applauded her willingness to be candid and playful, while others criticized the clip as “cringe.” In a podcast interview following the release, Meghan responded to the online noise with calm confidence. “I’m grateful to be back on social,” she said. “And I’ll keep sharing — on my own terms.”
If her latest holiday post is anything to go by, she’s keeping that promise — blueberry-eyed cupcakes and all.
