Meghan Markle Under Fire for Allegedly Using Daughter Lilibet to Promote Netflix Project

Meghan Markle couldn’t possibly push the boundaries further in her relentless quest for monetization, she’s done it again—this time, by allegedly throwing her own daughter, Lilibet, into the spotlight. The latest controversy surrounding the Duchess of Sussex involves a seemingly innocent Instagram story featuring Lilibet and tennis star Serena Williams. However, critics argue that the post was anything but casual, with many accusing Meghan of using her toddler as a promotional tool for her upcoming Netflix documentary.

The Instagram story in question shows Lilibet playing with a Candy Land board game, while Serena Williams looks on. At first glance, it appears to be a sweet moment of family bonding. But eagle-eyed observers quickly noticed the strategically placed board game in the background, leading to speculation that the post was a not-so-subtle attempt at product placement. To make matters worse, the story was tagged with Netflix and included a countdown to Meghan’s upcoming documentary, *With Love, Meghan*.

This move has left many questioning Meghan’s motives. After all, this is the same woman who once insisted that her children’s privacy was paramount. “Remember when Meghan scoffed at the idea of serving her kids up on a silver platter for public consumption?” one critic remarked. “Fast forward to now, and she’s practically begging the internet to zoom in on her toddler’s socks while a conveniently placed Candy Land board makes a cameo.”

This isn’t the first time Meghan has faced backlash for her attempts to monetize her public persona. From the ill-fated *Archetypes* podcast, which tanked faster than her approval ratings in the UK, to the lackluster content of her Netflix deal and the now-defunct Spotify contract, Meghan has struggled to find her footing in the world of entertainment. Critics argue that her latest stunt—using her daughter to promote her documentary—is just another example of her inability to connect with audiences authentically.

“She’s reliably bad at monetizing anything,” one commentator quipped. “Whether it’s cringeworthy podcasts, embarrassing Netflix content, or now, trotting out her kid for clickbait, Meghan just can’t seem to make anything stick.”

The Candy Land board game in the Instagram story has raised eyebrows, with some speculating that it could be a form of sponsored content. “The way Candy Land is perfectly positioned in the shot, it’s giving major sponsored content vibes,” one observer noted. “Could Hasbro be in on the deal? Are we witnessing the launch of Meghan’s merch madness: the board game edition?”

Others have taken a more cynical view, suggesting that Meghan’s use of her daughter is a desperate attempt to salvage her floundering public image. “If Meghan thought a heavily curated, sugary-sweet Netflix special would turn her into the next Oprah, she was sorely mistaken,” one critic said. “Early reviews have been less than kind, with many calling the series a desperate attempt at rebranding and the visual equivalent of listening to someone talk about their dreams—boring and pointless.”

Despite the backlash, Meghan appears undeterred. Her latest move has only added fuel to the fire, with critics accusing her of exploiting her children for personal gain. “Will the next scene include Meghan sipping from a Clever Blends cup while draping Lilibet in another obscure designer brand she’ll later pretend to have nothing to do with?” one commentator joked. “The possibilities are endless.”

For now, all we can do is sit back, grab some popcorn (organic and ethically sourced, of course—just kidding), and watch as the never-ending Meghan Markle merch machine spins itself into yet another failure. One thing’s for sure: whether it’s overpriced lotions, forgettable podcasts, or staged Instagram moments, Meghan’s attempts at monetization continue to miss the mark. Pass the Candy Land, would you?
