Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Allegedly At Impasse On Social Media Activities

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle allegedly do not have the same view on a social media lifestyle.

The personalities of the Prince, who grew up as a public figure, and Megan, living in front of the cameras before they tied the knot, are reportedly clashing as Harry wants to maintain their privacy. Although the pair are strong activists for anti-social media for children, Megan makes a few exceptions here and there.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle are parents to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have recently been featured on Megan's Instagram. They renounced their royal office and relocated to the U.S. in 2020.

Prince Harry has not been one for an active social media lifestyle. Recently, the posts from Megan featuring him and their kids have received no reactions from him.

She shared videos in the past week showing him and their two kids at a pumpkin patch, running through mazes, and carving jack-o'-lanterns. Reportedly, Harry does not love any of them.

The couple was present at the World Series, and Meghan posted a photo with Harry and LA Lakers legend Magic Johnson watching Game 4 at Dodger Stadium on her Instagram Stories.

Her social media displays are not hidden from the Prince, as he's very aware of her parading him around, but he is not a fan of the act.

Megans latest As Ever product, which she launched, is her signature candle No. 519. The number is very significant as it references their wedding date, May 19, and Harry is not thrilled to have the product tied to the date of their nuptials.

According to Page Six, the Duke of Sussex "is aware" that things like that are "not a great look and ­Fergie-esque," referencing Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, who was known for flaunting her ex-husband's office for personal gain.

The couple went public, advocating for stronger protections for children from social media. They claimed that the dangers of access to social media are so great and not enough is being done to protect the younger generation.

Prince Harry and Meghan unveiled a memorial in New York City dedicated to the memory of children whose families believe harmful material online contributed to their deaths. He voiced that they wanted to make sure things are done quickly so that more children would not be lost to social media.

Harry reiterated his stance on the social media lifestyle, saying, "Life is better off social media," and then expressed how grateful he felt that his children were still too young to be online.

He also noted that, besides the online dangers, children get bullied by their peers in schools because they cannot be part of the same conversation as the others who are on social media.

In an earlier release by the BBC, Prince Harry and Meghan unveiled the Lost Screen Memorial, which is made of 50 smartphone-shaped lightboxes. Each displayed a photograph of a child whose life was lost "due to the harms of social media". 

The couple has since been supporting families who say social media played a role in the deaths of their children. They have made efforts by backing calls to technology firms that say parents should be able to gain access to information on the phones of children who have died.

Harry said that the tech companies were getting away with it by arguing that, due to privacy considerations, they didn't need to disclose information to UK families.

He said outright that telling parents they cannot have access to what their children did on social media is wrong. Megan added that the safety of all children is paramount, as the dangers of social media are global.

Last month, Meghan shared a video of herself in a car with her legs up, heading toward her hotel in Paris after attending the Balenciaga fashion show. She received a lot of backlash for this, and even her brother-in-law was reportedly upset.

Reports from The Blast show that William probably saw the video as "an ill-judged and self-centered mistake." On the other hand, Meghan was slammed online as insensitive because the location she was driving to, which was the crash site of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted that the former actress's act would have put her husband between a rock and a hard place, trying to balance supporting his wife and the public uproar.

In her recent Instagram post, the camera captured gleeful moments of the Duke, the Duchess, Archie, and Lilibet. A part of the video was focused on Archie excitedly sorting through the farm's pumpkins before dashing off into a corn maze, while Meghan and Harry stood hand in hand, watching.

A glance at Archie and Lilibet's matching auburn hair was featured in the video. Meghan was seen gently patting Archie's head, while in another heartwarming moment, she led Lilibet on a trailer ride beside a pile of pumpkins.

The Blast reported that the family spent time at the pumpkin patch with Meghan's longtime friend, Markus Anderson, and her mother, Doria Ragland, and enjoyed themselves, carving pumpkins.

Will Meghan Markle tone it down on her socials because of Prince Harry?
