Meghan Markle's Father's Day tribute to Harry speaks volumes on 'compromised life'
Meghan Markle uploaded a sweet video montage of Harry with Archie and Lilibet on Father's Day but a royal expert has said her post is very telling for one reason. Prince Harry's Father's Day tribute from Meghan Markle proves he "doesn't have it all" despite the song it is set to, according to a royal expert. The Duchess of Sussex posted a video montage to Instagram showing Harry alongside their two, kids Archie and Lilibet, set to the song Have It All by Jason Mraz. The compilation showed snaps and videos of devoted father Harry laughing, dancing and spending some quality time with his children over the years. Meghan captioned the post: "The best. Happy Father's Day to our favourite guy." The post came just hours after the duke's estranged brother Prince William was also seen in a new snap with his three kids in an upload by the official Prince and Princess of Wales social media accounts. Kensington Palace said the snaps were taken by professional photographer Josh Sinner in Norfolk earlier this year. According to royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop, there was a vast difference between the two posts. She told the Mirror: "Hail Prince William, the model father. Or rather the model English father, with a before-and-after duo of professional photographs featuring a handsome, upstanding man, beautifully blended with his children; a foursome united in different shades of 'Norfolk' green. "The post dropped early on Father's Day via Kensington Palace's Instagram account, giving that other royal family plenty of time to tweak their own paternal efforts for a later LA release. "In Britain, it was bedtime before we caught a sneaky peak of the Sussexes' alternative Californian vibe: Harry the hands-on dad - forget formal posing in tweedy greens, this was 'au naturel'. Well, sort of. "A hotch-potch of sunbaked vibes, bubble machines and sea-side shots cast to the Jason Mraz track 'Have it all.' Except Harry doesn't have it all." It comes as body language guru Judi James underlined a striking contrast between Meghan's Father's Day post and Kate Middleton's photo - claiming there is a hidden message for Archie and Lilibet. She said: "The basic display tone of this video, that is a narrative of clips of Harry being a father, is very different to the one the UK royals tend to use for their Father's Day poses. "There is also a very strong message of freedom for the children and Harry here, too. There is a lot of running and walking away from the camera to continue to reject a more public profile but it's the recurring theme of the bare feet too." The tribute to the duke comes just weeks after he spoke about his feud with his own father King Charles, stating he would love to reconcile with him during a BBC interview. Tessa added: "Despite his professed desire to resume relations with his own father the King, the Duke of Sussex remains something of an orphan, stranded on the other side of the Atlantic. A discordant backdrop that cast his otherwise happy little video in a poignant light. "Poor Harry. These days having it all even means sharing images of his children's faces, albeit blurry ones taken when they were much younger. "Such are the compromises celebrities make when no longer protected by the royal coffers. Meghan's Instagram account is a hungry beast. "Long gone are the effortless days of a shared fraternal photograph; it was 2017 when William and Harry posted an early photograph with their dear Papa in the Scottish Highlands for Father's Day. "It had been declared the holiday snap indicative of the brothers' close bond, proof that when it comes to the Royal Family, what you see is only ever half the story."

Emma, founding partner of Kim Kardashian's Skims label, shared her excitement: "We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday, and I was like, is that, is that her? Is that Prince Harry there with the fingers...I was like, on Harry, let's go. But that's you, right? Like that's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before. "And I did like a little secret cheer, cause I was like, well, that's what I kind of want to see from you. Like I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that 'I don't give a f***' kind of thing." Breaking her silence, Meghan spoke about the footage, stating: "That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes.

Meg is plastering Harry's most intimate moments with kids online – he won't be happy… but she won't care, expert slams
Meghan and Harry were previously wary about showing their kids' faces on social media 'PUBLICITY STUNT' Meg is plastering Harry's most intimate moments with kids online – he won't be happy… but she won't care, expert slams Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE Harry would be "uncomfortable" with Meghan posting personal videos of him and their children for Father's Day, an expert has claimed. The heartwarming footage of Archie and Lilibet was posted on Instagram with Jason Mraz's hit 'Have It All' playing in the background. 6 Meghan posted a sweet video of Harry with the kids on Instagram 6 The couple were previously very cautious about showing their kids' faces 6 The deeply personal video may have made Harry 'uncomfortable', an expert said Credit: Instagram "The best," she captioned her post. "Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy." The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending quality time with his children through the years. The Duchess has been more open with posting her children this year, amid her new business ventures. Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun that although the videos are "charming", sharing them on social media is "hypocritical" of the couple who claimed to want privacy. She said: "I think the problem with the video that Megan's put out, which is actually charming, is it's really very hypocritical, because they begged for privacy. They refused to let their children's faces be seen. "In fact, at the beginning, there was just like one or two photographs of their children. "And now suddenly Meghan is flooding the market with photographs of their children, and this goes absolutely against everything they wanted. "Meghan is doing all these things in her anxiety to get publicity for herself, so that she can improve her money-making powers. "I think their whole lives online is a publicity stunt. Everything that they do online is aimed at them being able to make more money. "Otherwise why on earth would they do it? Because, remember, they've spoken about social media and how damaging it can be, especially for young kids, and how worried they are about it. "And then the next thing you know is Megan is posting quite personal, very charming pictures of her husband and the children all over everywhere, through her Instagram account. So it just doesn't make sense." Ingrid added: "I would love to know what Harry thought, but I suspect he might be a little uncomfortable, because Harry isn't really a great self promoter. Unlike his wife, who is." She suggested that the protection of Harry's "royal persona" before he left the Firm suited him because he could "hide behind" it. "I think he would prefer to be a little more circumspect about who saw photographs of him and his family, but I can't imagine that Meghan would have done it without without his knowledge." It comes after Prince William's children wished him a Happy Father's Day in a heartwarming post on social media. The sweet message was posted on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales on behalf of young royals George, Charlotte and Louis. One is a portrait shot showing Wills standing with his arms around Prince George, 11,and Princess Charlotte, 10, while seven-year-old Prince Louis stands in front of him. Another black and white picture shared showed the four lying on the grass laughing in an embrace. The post was captioned: "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!). We love you! G, C & L," accompanied by a love heart. The heartwarming photographs were taken by Josh Shinner earlier this year in Norfolk. Ingrid explained the difference between the two heartwarming posts: "The the Waleses are the future of the monarchy, and they're very aware of that, and I think everything that they do is very carefully thought through. "Because they're deeply concerned about their children and how they bring them up, and I think that these gorgeous photographs, which look very informal, are actually quite staged in a very, very nice way. "It's 'We'll give the public a bit of our children, because they need to see the future of the monarchy. They need to see it, but we're not going to give them too much'." 6 Meghan has been accused of using her children for her brand Credit: instagram/meghan 6 The couple have taken care to hide their kids' faces in the past Credit: Instagram

Prince Harry and Meghan's 'bold message' to royals in new Archie and Lilibet video
Meghan Markle shared a very sweet and telling video montage for Father's Day, showing Prince Harry with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. Meghan Markle has shared unseen footage of her children in a tribute to Father's Day, with it said to signal a fresh approach for the Sussexes. Meghan posted the personal video clips of Prince Harry with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The compilation included various snaps and videos of the Duke of Sussex with his children over the years, marking a significant shifts from them keeping their children's faces out of public view. Meghan shared the video on Instagram, alongside Jason Mraz's song Have It All. Meghan captioned the post: "The best. Happy Father's Day to our favourite guy", as a touching montage of Harry with Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, played out. The video showcases special intimate moments, including footage of Archie and Lilibet as infants, along with other clips of Harry dancing in the kitchen with them, at the beach, and other family outings. This clip follows closely on the heels of another personal video shared by Meghan, showing her twerking while in labour. In response to the new video, body language expert Judi James has highlighted a stark contrast between Meghan's Father's Day post and that of Princess Kate, suggesting there's a hidden message for Archie and Lilibet, as reported by the Mirror. Body language expert Judi James analysed the differences in portrayal of fatherhood between Harry and the UK royals, remarking: "The basic display tone of this video, that is a narrative of clips of Harry being a father, is very different to the one the UK royals tend to use for their Father's Day poses." She further detailed: "With William and his children, Kate is very present, holding the camera. The children and often William tend to look into the camera to signal firstly inclusion of Kate but secondly their sense of having a public role too." Judi elaborated on Meghan's approach, adding: "Meghan's films suggest she is admiring her husband from a distance here. The sense of strong love is present, but it's also a reflective presence as though she's wanting to show how Harry reacts naturally with their children, almost when 'nobody is watching'. It's the kind of event many mothers experience when they look out of the window to watch their husband playing with the children and reflect on how good a father they are." She continued: "This is a whole cinematic-looking narrative, too. Unlike the rather basic filming of her pregnancy twerking, this is glossy and idealistic, using lighting and filming techniques to make it look like movie class. It often feels like you're watching the opening credits of a show like Succession where they mock up historic-looking home movies to bring the family up to the present day. "There's the technicolour technique at the start and end, which is similar to the Enid Blyton style colouring they once used on their Xmas cards. There's soft focus for the babies, then a more Vogue-style lighting and filming as Harry walks with his kids as they get older." Sharing her views on the Harry's portrayal amid his public spat with his family, Judi remarked: "Harry is shown being a tender, tactile and often playful dad who is very involved in teaching his children as they grow." A recurring motif throughout the video might be perceived as a nod to the royals while Harry campaigns for safeguarding and security for his offspring during their visits to Britain. "There is also a very strong message of freedom for the children and Harry here, too," Judi commented. "There is a lot of running and walking away from the camera to continue to reject a more public profile but it's the recurring theme of the bare feet too." Judi elaborated: "With both Harry and his children walking in bare feet, the symbolic reference is to a free life but also to a wealthy one, as walking barefoot on public streets and parks tends to be a dangerous pastime. On your own estate, though, it's clearly just fine." Elsewhere last week, Meghan shared footage of their delightful time at Disneyland for Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday celebration. This follows Harry and Meghan's recent decision to overhaul their PR team, significantly altering their internal communications strategy. They've now brought on board Method Communications, a firm that prides itself on being "disruptors" who "challenge the status quo".
