Meghan Markle Faces Backlash Over Alleged Staged Easter Video
Social Media Users Accuse Duchess of Sussex of Orchestrating Candid Moment
Meghan Markle is under scrutiny once again — this time over an Easter video that some online are calling "staged for attention."
Meghan’s Easter Surprise Raises Eyebrows
The Duchess of Sussex recently posted a video to social media capturing what appeared to be a spontaneous moment: a group of ducklings following their mother, crossing a path near Meghan. The video, which shows Meghan reacting with apparent surprise, was captioned:
"An Easter weekend surprise Wishing you a Happy Easter full of love… and surprises!"
While some fans found the post heartwarming, others were skeptical.
Internet Users Suggest the Scene Was Scripted
On X (formerly Twitter), several users suggested the video wasn’t as authentic as it appeared. One user wrote:
“You just know this was a set-up. Poor ducks had to be filmed with Megs. She just happened to be there with a cameraman when the ducks crossed. Sure!!!”
Another post added:
“Oh look, the camera is set up to have Meghan right in the centre of the shot and the ducks are slightly off camera.”
The implication from critics is that the clip was carefully choreographed to appear candid — a narrative that has followed Meghan Markle through past public appearances.
A Look Back: Harry and Meghan’s Royal Exit
Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced constant media scrutiny. The couple relocated to California after publicly criticizing the British Royal Family, citing racism and emotional neglect. They now reside in Montecito with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Social Media Reacts — Again
This isn't the first time Meghan has been accused of curating moments for the spotlight, but it highlights the ongoing polarization around her public image. Supporters applaud her for breaking free of royal constraints, while critics often question the authenticity of her media presence.
