In a recent social-media upload, Meghan Markle shared an image of Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet strolling toward what many believe is Princess Diana’s final resting place at Althorp. The photo, part of a carousel titled “Summer Holiday,” also features other family moments from a beach visit.
While the exact location of the photograph remains unconfirmed, the image has sparked debate. Hollywood insider Rob Shuter remarked that the post has upset people who typically defend Meghan, indicating that the backlash extends beyond her usual critics.
According to a palace source, Diana’s grave has long been regarded as a place of quiet reverence. “If the photo was taken there, many believe it was inappropriate for social media,” the source added.
Even without confirmation of the site, reports suggest King Charles and other family members may have felt discomfort. A royal insider shared that while King Charles “is genuinely shocked,” the sentiment extends to those who usually refrain from commenting on Harry and Meghan.
Nursery settings may also have played a role. Discussions indicate that Harry and Meghan might be planning a documentary for the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, potentially involving a film crew at Althorp. Sources say that recording equipment could have been present during the visit, raising concerns that deeply private moments might be captured for future media projects.
While no official statements have been released by Kensington Palace or Buckingham Palace, the controversy highlights the sensitivity surrounding family moments and public exposure.
