Meghan Markle recently shared a funny anecdote about her son, Prince Archie, during a post-screening film Q&A.

Joined on stage by filmmaker Misan Hariman and actor David Oyelowo, the Duchess provided a rare glimpse into her child’s life.

She revealed that Archie had developed a keen interest in photography, inspired by Hariman’s work.

According to Meghan, her four-and-a-half-year-old son expressed his enthusiasm for photography, insisting that he was not just four but “four and a half.”

Hariman had previously shown him some photography techniques during their time together.

In an effort to encourage Archie’s newfound passion, Meghan even purchased a camera for him.

However, the young prince seemed disappointed with the camera he received, as it wasn’t as expensive as the one he had learned with.

Meghan humorously recounted Archie’s reaction, saying, “He said, but it’s not a Leica like Misan’s.

I was like, you are not getting a Leica, not even for Christmas, so thank you for the inspiration across the board.”

Leica, a renowned German camera brand, is known for its high-end models, which can cost up to £8,000.

Some skeptics questioned how a four-year-old child could be aware of such a specific camera brand.

After all, most children of that age are not concerned with brands or luxury items.

Critics also raised doubts about Meghan’s story, suggesting that she may have been attempting to impress Misan or create a false narrative.

They argued that her exaggerated account seemed implausible, highlighting her lack of understanding of how children interact and play.

Moreover, Meghan’s critics pointed out her consistent habit of taking opportunities to criticize Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, who is known for her amateur photography skills.

Some speculated that Meghan might have been trying to imply that photography is so simple that even her four-year-old son excels at it.

This incident reminded some of a similar situation when Prince Harry appeared on James Corden’s show in February 2021.

Meghan claimed that Archie had asked the Queen for a waffle maker before Christmas when he would have been under 18 months old.

The Leica camera story seemed to follow a pattern of questionable anecdotes from Meghan regarding her children.

Skeptics suggested that the only way Archie would refer to a camera as a Leica is if Meghan constantly mentioned the brand name in their conversations.

Children often mimic what they hear, and if Archie associated the word “Leica” with a camera, it could explain his specific request.

Even if the story were true, critics argued that it would reflect poorly on Meghan as a parent.

They believed that raising a child who is ungrateful for a gift and complains about the brand would not paint her in a positive light.

Many questioned the authenticity of Meghan’s tale, suggesting that it was yet another example of her penchant for creating narratives that lack coherence and credibility.

It is no surprise that Meghan’s stories about her children often face scrutiny, fueling rumors and doubts about their existence.

The Leica camera incident further adds to the skepticism surrounding her narratives.

Whether intentional or not, Meghan’s storytelling choices continue to generate controversy and raise questions about her credibility as a public figure and parent.
