Meghan posted a montage of her family as they went to the Californian theme park to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday.
The video on Instagram showed both her and Prince Harry beaming as they tackled various rides and sported Mickey Mouse ears.
But the ex-Suits actress covered up both Archie, five, and Lilibet's faces with emojis and purposefully took other shots angled from behind.
She captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!"
The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards slammed Meghan's post as a "money-making scheme".
Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, he said: "I don't know why we can't see the children's faces.
"I think she's obviously got some sort of scheme there where she might want some money ties on one day, I don't know.
"But those children, I feel sorry for them really. I mean, they've got cousins here, they're never going to meet and never going to play with.
"There's palaces here and castles here that they could enjoy as well and spend summer holidays with their cousins. I feel really sorry for them, cooped up in that place.
"Will we ever see their faces? I don't know, maybe one day she'll produce a calendar or something of her children's faces and that'll be sort of another Meghan special."
The footage starts with Lilibet excitedly dragging her dad through the park entrance before she is given a special greeting by a Disney princess.
Next, the whole family are seen on a log flume and then the four-year-old appears on a Dumbo ride.
It was reminiscent of photos taken of the Duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World in Florida in 1993.
The trio also took a trip to UK-theme park Alton Towers the following year.
Chris Ship, ITV Royal Editor, added: "If you want to put your kids on social media, that's absolutely fine, you're taking that responsibility as a parent.
"You've also got every right to keep them private and not put them on.
"I just don't really like this, here's a picture of my kid, I'm going to put a big emoji over their face so you can't see because that's me protecting their privacy.
"I'd rather not see them at all, if you want to protect them, rather than show them the corner of their ear in a photo."

Tributes paid to Britons feared killed in Air India plane crash
Fiongal and Jamie Greenlaw-Meek, who run a spiritual wellness centre, were said to be among the dead. The pair laughed and joked as they filmed a video of themselves at the airport before taking off. (PA Graphics) In an earlier Instagram post they told of their 'mind-blowing' trip to India and their intention to make a vlog about it. Mr Greenlaw is said to have appeared on ITV's This Morning earlier this year to talk about wellness. Former editor of the show Martin Frizell praised his 'vibrancy' and 'enthusiasm'. 'So so sad to hear that Fiongal Greenlaw Meek and his partner are reported to be among the passengers and crew killed today on board the Air India flight bound for Gatwick,' he said in an Instagram post. 'I remember his visit to the studio in January, he was passionate about auras and although I'm a sceptical sort his vibrancy and sheer enthusiasm won folk over. 'And I know for a fact that he hoped to use his appearance on This Morning to build his wellness brand, he had a great future ahead of him. 'Thoughts are with his family and friends and those of his partner Jamie.' The Greenlaw-Meeks were running the Wellness Foundry in London, which offers psychic readings, tarot, reiki and yoga. The firm is included in Time Out's top places in the capital for tarot readings. The Wellness Foundry also has a podcast called Spirit Level, which the website says is a 'guiding light on the journey to holistic well-being and spiritual enlightenment'. The Gloucester Muslim Community group offered 'sincere and deepest condolences' after Akeel Nanabawa, his wife Hannaa and their daughter Sara were reported to be among the victims. 'During this moment of overwhelming sorrow, our hearts go out to all those left behind,' a statement said. 'No words can truly ease the pain of such a profound loss, but we pray that the family may find solace in the tremendous outpouring of compassion and solidarity from communities across the world.' Raj Mishra, the mayor of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, called for people to come together as he announced the deaths of three people from his community. 'Among those lost were Raxa Modha, infant Rudra Modha, and Ms K Mistri, all from our Wellingborough community,' he said. 'I extend my deepest condolences to their families, friends and all those affected by this heartbreaking event. 'May their memories be a blessing, and may we come together to support one another in this time of grief.' Briton Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, is believed to be the only survivor of the crash. Speaking outside the family home in Leicester, his brother, Nayan Kumar Ramesh, 27, said: 'We were just shocked as soon as we heard it. 'I last spoke to him yesterday morning. We're devastated, just devastated. 'He said, 'I have no idea how I exited the plane'.' Mr Ramesh's older brother Ajay was also aboard the flight. Another of Mr Ramesh's relatives, Jay, said the survivor spoke to his father after the crash and asked after his brother. Jay told PA: 'After the crash he spoke to his dad worrying about his brother saying, 'Where's Ajay'?'
