Royal Fans Think Meghan Markle Edited Archie and Lilibet's Disneyland Photos: 'It Looks Like A...'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took a fun-filled adventure to Disneyland California last week with their children to celebrate Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday. Shortly after, Markle shared an adorable video capturing the family on various rides and posing for photos. One particular picture, however, caught the attention of royal fans, who accused Markle of photoshopping her kids into the frame. 

In the said photo, Markle and Harry can be seen posing with their children with heart emojis covering their faces. Markle wore Mickey Mouse ears while Harry smiled for the camera wearing a cap. The picture also strangely featured Lilibet without any shoes, which didn't sit well with royal watchers who slammed Markle for allowing her daughter to walk around barefoot in the park. Additionally, they also noted a whitish substance behind Lilibet's foot, her casual dressing, and awkward leg position, which had them convinced that Markle had photoshopped her daughter into the picture. 

As the photo in question went viral on X (formerly Twitter), a royal watcher argued, “The whole thing is photo-shopped to put them all together. One kid without shoes and standing on a flooring that is not planks that everyone else is standing on.” Another echoed, “It looks like a bad Photoshop job. The area around Lilly's foot looks weird. She probably was at home in her nightgown.” A netizen agreed, “Photoshopped. Check the floorboard where the girl is standing.” As the comments poured in, a fan opined, “What’s weird is having your personal photographer following you every time you leave your house and then blocking out faces.🤪”

A netizen also slammed, “Who takes their kids to Disneyland with NO SHOES ON?! Lili is barefoot." Another agreed, “What's with the barefoot pic too, that is not allowed at Disney for hygiene and safety reasons.” Meanwhile, one reasoned, “Kids can be fussy and like to wear what they want to wear, so for an easy life, you go along with it.” 

Harry and Markle’s Disneyland trip reportedly allowed them to leverage their celebrity status and be driven away from the crowds through backstage areas. As per People magazine, Lilibet celebrated her big day with a The Little Mermaid-themed two-tier birthday cake. It had her favorite Disney princess, Ariel, on top. It also paid a nod to Lilibet’s red locks. Other highlights in Markle’s reel included Lilibet and Prince Archie meeting Elsa from Frozen, the young prince checking out the Stormtroopers from Star Wars, and him enjoying a rollercoaster much like Harry once did with Princess Diana. As reported by Hello! magazine, the couple made sure their kids stayed hidden when interacting with folks at the park by having them wear Mickey Mouse ears and glasses.
