One person commented that it was “disrespectful, exploitative and gross,” while another shared that “Harry and the boy have huge bouquets of flowers – wonder why at Althorp? So #MeghanMarkle posted pictures of them on the way to #PrincessDiana’s grave.”
amazing. How disrespectful, exploitative and gross. What should really be a very private and personal family moment she posts on her public influencer platform for the world to see.
Of the thousands of photos she took at Althorp, she wants you to know she was at Diana and Harry’s grave.
Many other people commented on similar things online, with some even wondering how Diana’s brother, Charles, who still lives in their ancestral home, could allow a photo like this to be shared online on social media. However, there were a few people who stood by Markle and shared the photos online, with one person commenting that the haters were blowing the situation out of proportion.
Another supporter commented: “They’re not mad because Meghan finally posted the pictures.
Quite the contrary, they have been begging for them, updating Instagram every hour of the day for weeks. They are angry because the photos have created a hole in weeks of false claims that Meghan and her children never came to the UK.
At the time of writing, the Duchess of Sussex has not shared any comments about the backlash.
