Harry and Meghan's Disneyland family photo sparks conspiracy theories
Share and Follow

After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry posted a family photo taken at Disneyland, rabid conspiracy theorists have turned their focus on Lilibet and Archie.

Over the weekend the Duchess of Sussex, 43, uploaded a new Instagram post that included special moments from their visit to the theme park.

The Sussex children had their faces covered with heart emojis by their privacy-conscious parents.

The family picture has become the center of attention for these theorists, who are making outlandish claims, such as suggesting that the children are not real and were inserted using artificial intelligence.

Numerous speculations have emerged, with some individuals annotating the images to highlight what they perceive as inconsistencies. A few even argue that Lilibet appears to be floating in the air and have suggested the presence of a ‘disembodied hand’ supporting her.

One bonkers idea is that they never went to Disneyland at all – and it was faked – because no one else at the park spotted them over the two days they were there. 

Other wild conspiracies claim that a nanny was edited out of the image or that it was taken in winter, because Archie is wearing several layers of clothing and his younger sister looks smaller than in recent pictures shared recently. 

One image being shared online even claimed to show the two children with their faces unobscured by emojis, which appears to have been faked.

It came a week after Meghan shared a video of her twerking with Harry before she gave birth to Lili, which trolls then claimed proved their baseless claim that she was never pregnant and wore a moonbump. 

Conspiracy theorists have been poring over sweet images of the Sussexes to find fault, making wild claims with particular focus on Lilibet including the angle of her feet, a filled gap in the floorboards and also a hand on her dress trolls claim isn't her's

Markle shared a video montage on Friday from the two-day Disneyland vacation as she, Harry, Archie, seven, and Lili, four, had a blast on numerous rides and indulged in yummy treats. 

There has been a great deal of focus on the family photo taken of Lilibet, who was at Disneyland with her parents and older brother to mark her fourth birthday.

But it has been seized upon by internet loons who have claimed, without any credible evidence, that the photos were faked.

Some have used this mystery limb to make the bonkers claim that there is a nanny holding the princess – but has subsequently been photoshopped out before it was published.

There has been a focus on the planks around Lilibet’s feet, where one gap seems to be missing.

‘I’m guessing the nanny was standing with Lily in the original, where the floorboard is wiped out’, one keyboard warrior said.

Another wrote: ‘Maybe the fact they are all dressed to a different season!? Was Summer hot for Lili to be on a Summer dress but cold enough for Archie to be wearing long a long sleeve-shirt and pants? Which is it?’ 

Several others claimed it was ‘odd’ that she was barefoot when the rest of the family are wearing shoes.

One said: ‘Why is Lili barefoot, in a nightgown with unbrushed hair at Disneyland?’ 

But one critic of the conspiracy theorists said: ‘Anyone with young children knows they are forever taking their shoes off’.

Speaking to MailOnline, Judi James said that Harry appeared like an 'excited child'

According to body language expert Judi James, the couple were keen to show a ‘sense of unity’ in their roles as parents, while ‘signalling affection’ by placing their hands on Archie and Lili’s backs in the family photo.

However, she added that the constant presence of the camera almost appeared like the ‘third person’ in their marriage as it followed their ‘every move’. 

Speaking to MailOnline about the log flume ride photo, Judi reflected: ‘The fact it follows from back view suggests a deliberate plan for this view of themselves as a couple and as doting playful parents to be presented to the public. 

‘Their body language looks synchronised here suggesting this PR aspect is a mutual objective.

‘But there are also moments where Harry and Meghan become children themselves, appearing on one ride screaming, mouth open in excitement.

‘These views and glimpses seem to align in intention with the twerking videos as a Harry and Meghan re-brand, trying to show them as a more “normal” couple and fun-based family behind the “celebrity” and “regal” facades.’

One snippet showed both Lilibet and their son Archie, six, having the chance to meet Disney princess Elsa from Frozen. 

Meghan held her children’s hands as they slowly walked over to take pictures with the character in a sweet moment.  

Here, Judi said that Meghan ‘sweetly adopts a personal status-lowering technique’ as she introduced her to Elsa. 

She added: ‘She drops her head as though in the presence of a real princess to, again, help magnify the magic of the experience.’

Meanwhile Meghan’s husband Prince Harry appeared ‘like an excited child himself’, crouching in several of the images with his hand on one of his children’s backs. 

In the caption, Meghan penned to her 3.6 million followers: ‘Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!’ with Peggy Lee’s It’s A Good Day playing in the background.  

Meghan and Harry’s kids also had fun on some rides at the amusement park such as Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Cars ride. 

The couple – who tied the knot in 2018 – were spotted having a blast of their own as they sat at the front while on Space Mountain together. 

One short reel included in the post was taken as the family-of-four excitedly explored Disneyland and also visited the Star Wars troopers. 

Harry flashed a cheerful smile as he turned towards the camera while sitting next to Lillibet on another ride. 

At one point, Markle and her family were also seen sporting matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse hats on top of their heads. 

They later built up an appetite and one picture was taken to show a pile of corndogs and pickles on a table. 

Lillibet also received a Little Mermaid-themed cake that was covered in hues of blue sugary frosting while ‘Happy Birthday Lili’ was written in pink icing. 

The Instagram post also had a sweet family photo as they posed outside with a small river behind them.

Earlier this week on Wednesday, Markle jumped to her main Instagram page to share a rare photo of herself with daughter Lillibet to celebrate her birthday which took place on June 4.

In the black and white image, the actress could be seen holding her daughter as they enjoyed a boat ride on the water. 

She also wrote, ‘Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!’ 

In a separate post, Meghan uploaded a snap of her husband Harry gently holding Lillibet when she was a newborn. 

Another picture was taken a couple years later as the pair ran along a dirt path at a scenic tropical location. 

‘The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!’ Meghan typed out. 

She also shared a throwback reel of herself twerking to help induce labor ahead of Lillibet’s birth – and the clip went viral this week.  

Meghan could be seen wearing a black dress as she showed off dance moves along with Prince Harry. 

‘Four years ago today, this also happened,’ she began to explain in the caption. 

‘Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!’

Meghan and Prince Harry reside in a Montecito home with Archie and Lillibet – and the Suits alum has previously opened up about their family life.

During an interview with People a few months earlier in March, Markle reflected on how they go about each day with ‘normalcy.’ 

‘Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is,’ she explained to the outlet. 

‘We go to a lot of dinners, and not just in people’s homes or private rooms; we just go into the restaurant. I really love that we can just have fun.’

She has been keeping busy and back in March, her Netflix series With Love, Meghan premiered and has also been renewed for a second season. 

Later this month, Markle will also make an appearance at the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County’s Night of Wonder event on Saturday, June 14. 

It is not known if Prince Harry will also attend with Meghan – but the ball will take place on the same day as Trooping the Colour in the U.K.
