An image falsely showing the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has spread online, causing anger and concern among social media users.
For years, the couple have worked to protect their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, from public exposure. Since leaving royal duties, they have shared very few images and avoided regular family publicity. Supporters say this helps their children grow up with some sense of normal life.
The image that sparked outrage was not shared by the couple. Online users quickly noticed visual flaws and signs of digital editing, leading many to believe it was fake or created using AI tools. People described the image as unsettling and inappropriate, especially because it involved young children.
Harry and Meghan have not responded publicly. Instead, they have continued to focus on their work and family without addressing online speculation. Their silence reflects a long-standing effort to avoid fueling internet controversy.
The incident has reopened wider concerns about fake images, AI technology, and the treatment of children online. Many say it shows how easily false content can spread — and how difficult it is for parents, even famous ones, to protect their children’s privacy in the digital age.
