<p id=”par-1_37″>Meghan Markle shared a family montage on Instagram on September 13, offering a glimpse of Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/royal-family/meghan-markle-under-fire-for-jarring-archie-and-lilibet-video-accused-of-selling-glossy-family-perfection.html/?swcfpc=1″>The family was seen enjoying the English countryside</a> after returning to Britain on August 26. </p>
<p id=”par-2_51″>Following her post, critics said she may have given away clues about the Sussexes’ U.K. hideaway. “For two people so paranoid about security, why post photos with such identifiable landmarks that it takes people 2.5 seconds to figure out where you are?” one user wrote on X, according to <em>Radar Online.</em></p>
<p id=”par-3_63″>Another user added, “Oh right! LOL. Nobody believes them. Meghan doxxed herself. They can’t stop putting their own pics and their kids’ pics on social media. Wake up Chris. Good grief.” The video showed Harry and Markle walking along a country path with their children. Later, Archie ran outdoors while Lilibet rode a bicycle with training wheels and a doll on the back. </p>

<p id=”par-4_58″>Harry then took the kids fishing in a small boat. He was seen getting the fishing rod ready and fixing the hook. Pula, the family’s black Labrador, was nearby too. Wham!’s<em> Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go</em> played in the video’s background. A Union flag and a red heart emoji are displayed at the top of the video. </p>
<p id=”par-5_40″>The fishing clip prompted some social media users to speculate about where the family is staying. Some users think it could be billionaire Ian Wace’s Rowler Estate in Northamptonshire. The estate reportedly has a private lake and trout farm. </p>
<p id=”par-6_57″>The criticism came as Harry and Markle faced a fresh security review. According to<em> ITV News</em>, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, known as RAVEC, agreed to review the couple’s security after their return to Britain. The review will assess the risks facing them. However, the review does not guarantee that their level of protection will increase.</p>
<p id=”par-7_43″>Harry has been battling over his U.K. security for years. He took the issue to court in 2022, saying the reduced protection put his family at risk. He lost the case in 2024 and then lost again when he appealed in May 2025. </p>
<p id=”par-8_45″>The security debate follows a letter issued on behalf of King Charles III by Lord Chamberlain Richard Benyon on September 8. The letter reaffirmed that Harry and Markle remain non-working royals. It described their position as “akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.” </p>

<p id=”par-9_35″>The letter stated that their HRH styles remain in abeyance and aren’t used. Meanwhile, their charitable and commercial activities take place in “private capacity.” It also directed operational security matters to the relevant police authorities. </p>
<p id=”par-10_70″>Soon after, <a href=”https://people.com/meghan-markle-prince-harry-public-figures-sources-say-after-king-charles-private-citizens-letter-12114407″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener nofollow”>Harry and Markle’s camp pushed back on the “private citizens” label</a>. Speaking to <em>People </em>on September 10, a source close to the couple said, “They are public figures. Members of the public know who they are. The idea that they can live a normal, ‘private’ life is sadly not realistic.” According to a <em>Radar Online</em> source, they are even bracing for a legal fight after reviewing the wording.</p>
