Meghan’s decision to credit her daughter also prompted comparisons with her sister-in-law, Princess Catherine of Wales. In February last year, Catherine shared a ‘Mother Nature’ image for World Cancer Day and credited her then seven-year-old son, Prince Louis, with taking the photo.
The Sussexes’ video was labeled “cringe” and “awkward” by some, with critics drawing parallels between the two posts.
“Because Catherine shared a photo taken by Louis, so of course Meghan had to try to one up it by claiming Lili filmed the video,” one suspicious commenter claimed.
Another added, “Let’s face it the only reason she has the credit for the kid filming it is because C [Catherine] credited her son for her photo.”
“They hate each other. It is hard to feign romantic when you would rather be anywhere else.”
Ongoing Backlash and PR Troubles
As criticism intensified over the weekend, Meghan reposted the same dancing clip to her Instagram Story on Saturday, January 18.
