Meghan Markle gave followers a glimpse into a personal moment with a close friend’s newborn, sharing a new photograph on Instagram just hours before members of the Royal Family gathered for Trooping the Colour in London.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted the image to her Instagram Stories after visiting longtime friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, co-founder of Alliance of Moms, who welcomed her son, Jack Oliver Zajfen, earlier this year.
In the picture, Meghan is seen holding the baby close and kissing him on the head. Alongside the image, she added a lighthearted caption: “We know I love a redhead.”
She followed it with a joke aimed at preventing online speculation, writing: “And let me stop you before they start, no it's not his baby.”
A second photo showed Kelly smiling with her son, with Meghan adding a brief message of affection for her friend.
The post stood out because Meghan has generally been cautious about sharing images of her own children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. When posting family photos online, she typically avoids showing their faces clearly.
The Duchess recently found herself defending her approach to family content on social media after sharing new pictures of Lilibet for her fifth birthday. While some critics questioned the balance between privacy and public sharing, Meghan's representatives maintained that she remains committed to protecting her children's identities while still documenting important family moments.
According to a statement released earlier this month, the Duchess believes there is a clear difference between sharing family memories and exposing children to unwanted public attention. Her team said she supports giving children privacy, independence and protection in an increasingly digital world.
Not everyone has agreed with that position. Some commentators have argued that her growing social media presence sends mixed messages, particularly given her public discussions about online safety for young people.
Meanwhile, Meghan's friendship with Kelly stretches back roughly two decades. Kelly has previously spoken openly about the heartbreak of losing her nine-year-old son in 2022 following a viral illness and has often credited Meghan for supporting her through that difficult period.
Before stepping away from royal duties and relocating to California with Prince Harry, Meghan attended Trooping the Colour twice as a working royal. Her first appearance at the annual event came in June 2018, just weeks after her wedding at Windsor Castle.
