Images obtained by Page Six show Prince Harry donning a green shirt, jeans, a baseball cap, and sunglasses while carrying little Lilibet in his arms. Lilibet was dressed in a patterned blue dress, white socks, and red shoes, reminiscent of the outfit worn by Princess Charlotte in a photo with the Queen.
It seems Meghan is attempting to emulate what she perceives as the attire of a British royal child for an American holiday.
Interestingly, during the wedding, Meghan wouldn't allow Charlotte to wear tights, but now that they are back in the United States, she insists on dressing her daughter in a more regal fashion, including knee socks despite the LA heat.
According to Page Six, Harry's wife Meghan and their eldest child, Archie, were also present at the parade. However, it is important to note that in California, it is illegal to capture unauthorized photographs of children without parental consent.
In this case, Harry and Meghan allegedly approved the pictures. A celebrity source claimed that the Sussexes wanted these photos to be taken; otherwise, they wouldn't have been captured. The source further explained that during outings with the children, the family is accompanied by three to four security personnel who usually inform people not to take pictures and to respect their family time.
The absence of visible security personnel in the pictures raises questions about their presence or potential financial constraints on that particular day.
This situation showcases Meghan's apparent anxiety as she employs the "kid card" to divert attention from perceived failures. The article from Page Six titled "Lilibet: An American Princess" reflects the ironic contradiction of the Sussexes insisting on maintaining their royal titles while their children's rare public appearances revolve around an American celebration.
The Daily Mail's coverage humorously points out the irony, emphasizing how a British Prince participating in a Fourth of July parade is something Prince William would never do. It is possible that the Sussexes seized the opportunity to be accidentally photographed in public while simultaneously protesting against intrusions on their family time, all while aiming for front-page coverage.
Regarding their choice of media outlet, it is suggested that Harry and Meghan prefer working with BackGrid because they receive a more favorable financial arrangement. Additionally, news publications pay for the pictures based on the duration of usage.
The Sussexes' willingness to allow BackGrid to sell photos featuring their children's unobscured faces indicates a level of desperation. However, it is worth noting that Harry could have insisted on the photos not being published without blurring the kids' faces if he wished.
The situation raises eyebrows about a British Prince's participation in a July 4th parade and leads to speculations that their accidental public appearance was an excuse to be photographed while simultaneously claiming intrusion on their family time, with hopes of securing front-page coverage.
