After the paparazzi departed, revealing footage captured an intriguing moment that sheds light on the real dynamics within the Sussex family. In the zoomed-in scenes, Harry can be seen giving a cold shoulder to the stunt children. While Meghan hugs Lily and waves to the parade, Harry stands behind and away from Archie.
He appears disinterested in the safety of the children, frequently turning his face away, which is contradictory to his claims of prioritizing their security. Adding to this, he keeps his hands in his pockets, accompanied by a dismissive expression. These gestures suggest boredom and a desire to leave, perhaps signaling Harry's growing weariness with Meghan's games.
A video shared on Instagram by the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel in Montecito, where the Duke and Duchess currently reside, showcased Megan holding their toddler on the pavement and waving to floats during a passing parade. The footage revealed both children happily engaging, holding and waving flags as they crouched down to watch the parade.
Little Lily appeared adorable with her hair styled in bunches on either side of her head, dressed in a blue and white floral dress, knee-high white socks, and red Mary Jane shoes. Megan was spotted in blue dungarees paired with a white long-sleeve top, while Harry wore a green collared shirt and jeans, donning a baseball cap.
This glimpse into the family's holiday activities comes as Megan's popularity has hit a record low. According to a YouGov survey of 2,014 participants, a staggering 68% held a negative view of The Duchess, with only 21% expressing a positive view.
YouGov has been tracking Megan's net favorability since her relationship with Harry began in 2017, and the latest ratings indicate a sharp decline to a negative 47, the lowest it has ever been. The same survey revealed that Prince Harry was also viewed unfavorably by 63% of respondents, with only 28% holding a positive view.
Megan Markle and Prince Harry's attempts to divert attention from King Charles' Scottish coronation seemed unsuccessful. Despite their outings with their children to celebrate the 4th of July in California, they failed to steal the spotlight.
The couple was photographed enjoying family moments with their kids at a parade on Tuesday, a day before the king's coronation in Scotland.
However, their photos only appeared on social media the following day, coinciding with King Charles' momentous event at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh on July 5, 2023. Some speculate that Megan and Harry aimed to overshadow the king's glory but fell short, as they could not capture the media's attention during the significant occasion.
Additionally, royal fans playfully accused the US-based couple of imitating Charlotte's style, particularly in reference to their daughter's outfit under the scorching California heat.
