Meghan has been criticised by some for posting her children on social media
Royal experts have warned that Meghan Markle may one day face “terrible revenge” over the videos and photos she has shared of her children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The claims came during an episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show.
Royal author Hugo Vickers and presenter Samara Gill discussed the Duchess of Sussex’s recent Instagram activity.
In a recent post, Meghan, 43, shared a montage of home videos of husband Prince Harry, 40, and their two kids to celebrate Father’s Day.

Meghan Markle may face ‘terrible revenge’ from Archie and Lilibet
Hugo voiced concern about how Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, might react when they’re older.
“I just think there’s gonna be a terrible revenge when those children grow up,” he said. “I don’t know about you, but I would be very annoyed if I found that I’d been used in all these posts in a strange way by my parents.”
The children were also recently seen in a post during a family visit to Disneyland.
Despite the seemingly wholesome nature of the content, critics argue the posts blur the line between private life and promotion.

Hugo also lamented that the children are growing up without knowing their grandparents, referring to Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, and Harry’s dad King Charles.
“They’re also going to grow up at one point and discover that they never knew their grandparents, their grandfathers,” he added.

Samara Gill echoed the sentiment, sharing that she had spoken with Thomas Markle recently. “He’s just absolutely still distraught,” she said. “He still doesn’t have contact with Meghan.”
Hugo went on to point out that Archie and Lilibet have also missed out on close bonds with their royal cousins, including Prince William and Princess Kate’s kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The discussion then turned to Meghan’s apparent shift in PR tactics, particularly on Instagram.
Samara noted that the new content direction, highlighting Meghan’s family life more prominently, suggests a departure from the couple’s previous desire for privacy.
She said the children’s faces were “front and centre of those videos” and she believes “this new PR team has just chucked everything that she previously had out the door”.
The panel also discussed Meghan’s recent podcast appearance with Good American CEO Emma Grede. During the discussion, Meghan asked for people to “tell the truth” about her public image.
Hugo responded by saying he, Samara and others “do tell the truth about her” and believes Meghan doesn’t like it.
Meanwhile, this week, a source claimed to the Daily Mail that Harry is “desperately hoping the king might see a picture of Archie and Lilibet and realise what he is missing”.
