Meghan Markle Joins in on 2016 Instagram Trend With ‘Cringeworthy’ Video Alongside Prince Harry: They Are ‘Professional ‘Liars’

The year 2016 is trending again, with social media users and celebrities alike sharing their throwbacks snaps from 10 years ago — including Meghan Markle.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted a photo of one of her first dates with husband Prince Harry from a decade prior, however, it appeared to not go over well with fans.

Meghan shared the snap of herself and Harry, 41, hugging in a body of water during their trip to Botswana on Instagram January 16.

In the same post, she added a black-and-white video of the couple dancing that was taken by their daughter, Princess Lilibet, 4.

“When 2026 feels just like 2016….you had to be there,” the Suits actress captioned it. “[Video] cred: our daughter.”

Users on X mocked Meghan’s video. “Meghan Markle is essentially saying Prince Harry is hers. She’s using this video to send a message to critics that they are locked in forever. I wonder if she thinks this video is cute, because it genuinely isn’t. Her body type is very unusual and, in my opinion, unattractive,” one said.

“Cringe,” someone wrote, with another penning: “Filmed by Lili? A 4-year-old? Next Twerkle will be saying it was Lili’s idea to film in black and white as it ‘adds to the ambience.'”

“We know Twerkle likes to keep a little archive for days when she needs to prove her and the dimwit are still loved up! She has to have an archive because I doubt she has recent footage where they are together let alone some where they are feigning happiness. Cringeworthy!” the critic went on.

Users were both annoyed at the idea that Lilibet might have taken the clip, while others were suspicious that the video just seems to be another ruse regarding Harry and Meghan’s marriage.

The pair tied the knot in 2018 after dating for about two years. They also share son, Prince Archie, 6.

“Another PR stunt,” a person rolled their eyes.

“H&M are professional liars,” croaked one user.

The status of Meghan and Harry’s marriage has been in question for some time. While the couple moved to California in 2020 after taking a step back as senior members of the royal family, the Spare author is reportedly not too happy with his life on the West Coast.

“On one level, Harry is content in California,” royal author Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly on January 13, adding that on the other hand, he must feel some remorse that “neither he nor his children are sharing in their royal heritage.”

“People often forget that Harry is at his core an army officer,” he added. “He’s all about structure, honor and duty — things that are missing from his life in Montecito.”
