Meghan Markle fans spot ‘creepy’ detail in newly shared photos with her and Prince Harry
Meghan Markle sparked mixed reactions with her Fourth of July Instagram post celebrating a sweet family tradition. The Duchess of Sussex shared nostalgic photos marking the holiday, including cupcakes that became an unexpected talking point.
The post revealed a romantic backstory – Prince Harry brought cupcakes on their second date July 4, 2016. Now their children participate in the tradition. “May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes,” Meghan captioned the carousel of festive photos.
One image showed creatively decorated cupcakes with blueberry eyes and strawberry mouths. While likely intended as patriotic treats, some social media users found the designs accidentally eerie.
“The cupcakes look like creepy Halloween ghosts,” commented one Reddit user. Others compared them to snowmen or geese, showing how interpretations varied wildly among followers.
This isn’t the first time Meghan’s social media posts have drawn attention. Last month, she faced criticism for sharing a video of her and Harry doing a “labor dance” before Lilibet’s birth, which some called “cringe.”
Despite occasional backlash, Meghan has stated she’s grateful to share content on her own terms since returning to social media. She appears determined to ignore online trolls and maintain her authentic self online.
The post ultimately highlighted the Sussexes’ family traditions while demonstrating how even innocent royal social media posts can become conversation starters – for better or worse.
