Prince Harry was recently spotted celebrating July 4th near his Montecito home, accompanied by his daughter Lilibet.
Coincidentally, this celebration took place on the same day that King Charles celebrated his Scottish coronation.
Captured photos, obtained by Page Six, showcase Prince Harry wearing a green shirt and jeans, along with a baseball cap and sunglasses, as he joined the parade.
He lovingly held his daughter in his arms, who was dressed in a patterned blue dress, white socks, and red shoes, reminiscent of Princess Charlotte’s outfit in a picture with the Queen.
It seems that Meghan is attempting to emulate the attire of a British royal child for this American holiday.
According to Page Six, Harry’s wife Meghan and their eldest child Archie were also present at the parade.
Notably, it is illegal to publish paparazzi shots of children in California without parental consent, indicating that Harry and Meghan approved the release of these pictures.
A celebrity nanny shared her perspective, stating that when they go out with the kids, they always have a team of security personnel who strictly enforce a no-picture policy.
Either the security failed in their duty or the parents allowed the photographs.
It is unlikely that anyone with a camera would be able to get so close and take numerous pictures without security intervening.
However, in the pictures, no security personnel can be seen next to the Sussexes, raising questions about their absence.
This situation suggests that Meghan and Harry wanted these pictures to be taken, possibly to change the narrative surrounding their brand and to counter claims of their declining popularity.
Page Six aptly titled the article “Lilibet: An American Princess,” capturing the essence of this staged paparazzi shot and accompanying story on July 4th.
Prince Harry and Meghan proudly brought their two-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, to a nearby 4th of July parade in Montecito, California, marking her first public appearance.
It is quite amusing that while they insist on retaining their royal titles, their children’s only annual outing is for an American celebration, which commemorates the nation’s independence—a concept from which their titles originated.
The irony is palpable.
Interestingly, the Daily Mail credits Back Grid for the photos of Harry and his daughter, but the picture featuring all four family members does not bear the same watermark.
Page Six, on the other hand, has added its own watermark to the exclusive picture they arranged and sold, featuring only Lilibet.
According to Neil Sean, Harry and Meghan prefer working with Back Grid because they receive a better share of the profits.
However, it appears that the newspapers pay for the pictures based on how long they intend to use them.
The fact that they allowed Back Grid to sell photos of their children’s faces suggests a level of desperation.
Considering this, Harry could have insisted on blurring his child’s face if he wanted to prevent any outlet from publishing the pictures.
It is worth noting that Prince William would never participate in a 4th of July parade as a British prince.
This event might have been a convenient opportunity for Harry and Meghan to be inadvertently photographed in public while still protesting against intrusion into their family time, yet securing a prominent spot on the front page.
In conclusion, Prince Harry and his daughter Lilibet celebrated July 4th near their Montecito home, capturing the attention of media outlets.
These carefully staged photographs, approved by Harry and Meghan, showcase their American princess in an outfit reminiscent of British royal attire.
While some question the absence of visible security personnel, others speculate on the couple’s motives behind allowing the publication of these images.
