Meghan Markle, often dubbed the princess people “love to hate,” is once again stirring public debate after sharing a video montage of her family at Disneyland in Burbank, California.

The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex, along with Prince Harry, 40, and their children—6-year-old Archie and 4-year-old Lilibet—were visiting the theme park to celebrate Lilibet’s birthday.

The video, set to Peggy Lee’s “It’s a Good Day,” shows the family enjoying rides and moments like Lilibet’s sweet interaction with Elsa from Frozen. Meghan captioned the post, “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!”

Privacy Concerns Resurface

Despite the wholesome imagery, the post quickly reignited criticism around the couple’s stance on privacy. Meghan and Harry have long advocated for protecting their children from media exposure, often withholding public photos of them. In this post, the kids’ faces are obscured or shown from behind—but it wasn’t enough to silence skeptics.

Comments poured in accusing the couple of hypocrisy:

“Good they are happy but give it a rest. I thought they wanted ‘privacy’,” one user remarked.

Another said, “Was the park closed to the public to accommodate the privacy they strive to have?”

Others added, “Selling another picture to the paparazzi,” and, “Still trying to stay relevant.”

Some also questioned Harry’s security preferences, noting his calls for protection in the U.K. contrasted with public outings in the U.S. “It’s funny how Harry feels they need security in England but he doesn’t need security here in the US,” one commenter pointed out.

Supporters Draw on Princess Diana’s Legacy

Not all reactions were critical. Many users remembered Princess Diana bringing young Harry and William to Disneyland decades ago and celebrated the tradition being passed on.

“Harry and William were taken there by Princess Diana. Happy you had a great day with your kids,” one wrote.
Another added, “They are adorable! I’m glad Harry is experiencing this with his family. His mom would be proud.”
