On May 11, 2025, Meghan Markle marked Mother’s Day with a heartfelt message and a rare photo of her two children, Archie and Lilibet, in a post that quickly captured public attention.

In the photo, Meghan is seen from behind, standing barefoot on a stone patio framed by columns and wooden beams entwined with dormant vines. She is holding both children, with one child in each arm, as they wrap themselves tightly around her. The family is surrounded by a lush green backdrop with palm trees visible in the distance under a clear blue sky.

The caption read, “Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy! And to these two gems – who still attempt to climb ‘mama mountain,’ smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure….being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life.”

The doting mom of two concluded her Instagram tribute with, “I, too, ‘love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world.'”

The post generated a wide range of reactions on social media, with much of the conversation focusing on the children’s appearance — particularly their hair color. One person questioned, “Archie has black straight hair here and Lily has mousy hair but she looks the size of a six yr old not a three yr old? What is going on [sic]??” Another wrote, “Archie’s’ hair color & texture changed again; from curly to straight, from ginger to black [sic].” A third individual remarked, “Now Archie has brown hair? I thought it was auburn?”

One netizen pointed out, “The kids have different colour hair again. Lily’s has gone from bright ginger to light brown, and Archie’s has gone from auburn to dark brown.” Another added, “And he has dark brown hair.” Several others echoed similar sentiments. One person asked, “Where’s the ginger?” A netizen noted, “Notice little Archie’s hair looks black. Never known Red ha r to turn black.” Lastly, one person wondered, “Archie has dark hair in this one. What happened to the red?”
