Instagram followers of the Duchess of Sussex have once again picked up on an alleged 'irregularity' in her latest content.
Meghan Markle shared a video earlier today (26 May) on her Story of herself walking alongside her three-year-old daughter Lilibet to the tune of 'Sugar, Sugar' by The Archies.
The pair could be seen each donning a beekeeper suit, holding hands as they plodded through the garden of what appears to be the Sussex family's Montecito, California home.
The Duchess, 43, has been sharing frequent insights into she and Prince Harry's picture perfect family life since 1 January, when she returned to social media following a four-year break.

And as such, she's shared numerous snaps of her children, six-year-old Archie and daughter Lilibet, careful each time to protect their faces.
In doing so, however, Meghan has caused ceaseless stirs amid critical online communities that seem committed to picking up on and pointing out her every alleged mistake.
Earlier this month, for example, a Mother's Day post descended into chaos, with trolls accusing Meghan of Photoshopping her son's toes.
The same image also sparked conspiracy theories among others, who claimed the apparent darkening of the children's hair indicated they weren't the 'real' Archie and Lilibet after all.
And now Meghan's latest upload has set tongues wagging, with some pointing out that the child's legs appear considerably shorter that they did in her Mother's Day snap.
Sharing both uploads side by side on X (formerly Twitter), one critic penned of the Duchess: "She really thinks we won’t notice the two different girls she claims as her own. How can a kid’s legs shrink from one day to the next?"
Another bizarrely agreed: "Yup! Another day, another child actor."
A third continued: "[Meghan] is out of her mind if she thinks we are stupid enough to believe these kids are hers. How can a kid's legs suddenly shrink. Seriously if you’re believing these shite she is pushing … seek help."
"You are correct," added another. "The little beekeeper is way too short."
A fifth went on to say: "Those kids' height and hair color change every day.
"Can’t she rent the same kids every time?"
Others, however, rushed to Meghan's defence, pointing out that the mother-of-two never alludes to when and where each of her social media uploads were captured.
"Meghan never publishes photo in chronological order," one fan pointed out. "That pic could be 2 years old."
Another penned: "Maybe she's just putting out a mix of old and new photos on purpose - keeps people talking and maintains her visibility.
"She's not saying 'when' the photo/video is from, is she!"
