Meghan Markle has been accused of a 'vulgar' breach of taste after she posted a photograph of her children at Princess Diana's childhood home in Northamptonshire this month, with one royal commentator claiming Prince William was left 'fuming' over the move. The Duchess of Sussex's image, shared on Instagram, appeared to show Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet walking across the grounds of Althorp Estate, where Diana is buried.
For context, Althorp is the Spencer family's private estate, and Diana's grave lies on an island in a lake that is deliberately kept out of public reach. The layout is no accident. Her brother Earl Spencer chose the site in 1997 precisely to avoid her resting place becoming a shrine for cameras and tourists. Against that backdrop, Meghan's decision to post a family-style shot from the estate, with Archie carrying a bouquet of flowers, was always going to be read as more than just a pretty holiday snap.
