In a move that has both delighted and divided public opinion, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, attended a high-profile U.S. event accompanied by her daughter, Princess Lilibet, marking their first joint appearance at such an occasion.

The mother-daughter duo captivated attendees, with Lilibet’s red hair—a trait inherited from her father, Prince Harry—drawing particular attention.

This appearance coincides with the launch of Meghan’s rebranded lifestyle company, “As Ever.” The brand’s homepage features an intimate photograph of Meghan and Lilibet walking hand-in-hand through a grassy field, with the Pacific Ocean in the background.

Meghan has expressed that involving her children in her business ventures is a strategic decision aimed at securing their financial futures. She stated, “My child will make a lot of money…” This approach has sparked debate, with some critics accusing Meghan of exploiting her children’s images for commercial gain, potentially conflicting with her previous emphasis on their privacy.

Royal commentators have weighed in, with former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter referring to Meghan as the “Undine Spragg of Montecito,” drawing parallels to Edith Wharton’s character known for her relentless social climbing.

Additionally, experts have labeled Meghan’s use of her children in promotional content as “tacky” and potentially breaching the terms of the Megxit agreement, which emphasized a departure from commercializing royal connections.

Despite the controversy, Meghan continues to integrate her family life into her brand, sharing moments like baking sessions and strawberry picking with her children. She emphasizes the importance of creating lasting memories and building a legacy for her daughter through these shared experiences.

Looking ahead, there is speculation that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet may make appearances at the upcoming Invictus Games in Vancouver. The event is being organized with a “family-friendly” focus, allowing participants to bring their children. Prince Harry is reportedly keen on involving his children in such events, aiming to continue the Invictus Games legacy within the family.
