Disrespectful As Usual. That’s the reaction from many royal fans after Meghan Markle shared a new family photo that has sparked an intense online backlash, with critics questioning whether the image should ever have been posted. The picture, taken during the Sussexes’ recent UK visit, quickly fueled debate as viewers focused on its location and accused Meghan of crossing a line. Others argued the moment should have remained private, while supporters saw nothing wrong with the post. One photo. One emotional family moment. And a royal controversy that’s dividing opinion once again.

The Duchess of Sussex has left royal fans angry after she posted a snap of her husband and children on the estate of Princess Diana’s ancestral home. Meghan Markle, 44, shared the photograph, which shows Prince Harry and Prince Archie carrying flowers, with Princess Lilibet walking behind them, on Instagram.

Fans recognised the background as the Althorp Estate gardens, leading many to assume that the photograph was taken before the family visited Princess Diana’s resting place on the estate earlier this month during a visit to the UK. The photograph was one of a few shared by the duchess of the family trip to the UK and Portugal. While Meghan may have seen no wrong in posting the photograph from Althorp, some royal fans thought differently.

After a wave of criticism hit the duchess last week, here at the Daily Express, we launched a poll asking whether or not Prince Harry’s wife should have posted the Althorp photograph.

The poll, which ran from 9am on Sunday (July 26) to 4pm on Tuesday (July 28), found that 3762 voted no, meaning they thought Meghan should not have posted the photograph.

162 voted yes, while 53 said they don’t know. It’s important to note that the photograph was not taken at Diana’s exact resting place.

Talking about Meghan’s decision to post the photograph, one royal fan wrote on Facebook: “Disrespectful as usual.”

Someone else said: “Is there anything she doesn’t post?”

Another person commented: “How absolutely tasteless!!”

Someone else wrote: “So much for it being a private visit.”

It is not known whether Meghan will share any more photographs from the family’s time together in the UK this month.
