An expert has issued a warning to Meghan Markle after she featured her daughter, Lilibet, on her new website.
Meghan, 43, has recently relaunched the website for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The site - formerly called American Riviera Orchard - focuses on food, gardening, and lifestyle.
"Last year, I had thought, 'American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name.' It’s my neighbourhood; it’s a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area," said Meghan on Instagram.

"Then Netflix came on, not just as my partner in the show, but as my partner in my business. which was huge. So I thought about it, and I’ve been waiting for a moment to share a name that I had secured in 2022, and this is the moment, and it’s called As Ever."
On the site, Lilibet can be seen walking bare foot, hand-in-hand with Meghan through a field, with palm trees in the background and the ocean on the horizon.
Fans have been loving the gorgeous snap, but one expert has shared a warning with the Duchess of Sussex.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: "Meghan and Harry rarely allow their children to be seen. Lilibet is too young to protest.
"However when she looks back, I doubt her appearance on the website of As Ever will be one of her favourite memories."
Tyla has reached out to Harry and Meghan's reps for comment.
Prince Harry and Meghan are careful over which photos they share of their children, and do their best to keep their family life as private as possible.
For example, in the family's Christmas card last year, fans pointed out that the children - Archie and Lilibet - had their faces hidden.
Meanwhile, the last time that the royal youngsters were seen in public with the consent of Harry and Meghan, was in their titular 2022 documentary, which included footage of the children playing in their Montecito home.
According to one family friend, there's a reason why the couple aren't keen on showing their faces.
"I think every parent wants to share their kid with the world, but they just can’t," they told US Weekly.
"William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children. They know the world wants to see [them, but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted, if it ever does."
Meanwhile, Meghan herself has spoken about protecting their children's privacy.
"Our kids are young. They're three and five. They're amazing," she told CBS.
"But all you want to do as parents is protect them. And so, as we can see what's happening in the online space, we know that there's a lot of work to be done there, and we're just happy to be able to be a part of change for good."
