Harry and Meghan's kids spotted with major appearance change in new video and people are confused

The Sussexes shared a sweet clip of son Archie and daughter Lilibet preparing some Valentine's sweet treats

The Duke and Duchess inadvertently sparked mass questioning over their children's appearances this weekend, by sharing an insight into the family's Valentine's plans.

Taking to Instagram on Friday (14 February), Meghan Markle shared a snap of her and Prince Harry's two kids - Archie and Lilibet - making a batch of sweet treats for the special day.

For those in need of a reminder, the former Suits actress returned to social media on New Years Day following a four-year break, using the handle @meghan.

On her story, the two youngsters could be seen helping their mother chop strawberries into the shapes of hearts - as per She Knows.

The family were then seen spreading strawberry cream cheese onto a bagel in the heartwarming clip.

Meghan, 43, was careful not to show her children's faces, however - a principle she and husband Harry have practiced since Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, were first photographed for their official portraits, both a year after they were born.

The move was allegedly put into place amid security concerns, with a source previously telling 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."

Following suit, in mother-of-two Meghan's latest upload, Lilibet's hands and midriff were visible in one segment - as was the back of Archie's head in another.

As we say, however, several eagle-eyed viewers of the clip have since spoken out, claiming to have noticed a series of irregularities, one being the kids' hair colour.

Recently, the Sussexes have shared several photos and videos of their children, in all of which they appear to have inherited Harry's ginger locks.

In the latest upload, however, Archie's hair apparently appears much darker.

"Why does ‘Archie’s’ hair keep changing colour?" one X (formerly Twitter) user asked this week.

Another pointed out: "Archie's hair colour just looked brown on this video."

Sharing some previous images of the toddlers, another asked of Meghan: "Why did she lie that Archie is a redhead ???"

Others, meanwhile, claim to have been left confused by the fact that Lilibet supposedly looks to be larger than her brother, despite being two years younger.

"I am not sure it is the [Sussex] kids, there is no way that girl in the video is Lili, way too big to be a 3-year-old and has Archie's hair colour changed again??" one wrote online.

Another asked: "So... am I correct in thinking that it's Archie thats 3 years old, and Lily thats 6 ...right??? Because there's no way on Gods green earth that the girl shown here is 3."

They added: "Apart from her obvious dexterity, look at the size of her, and her hands...whereas poor Archie always looks so tiny and fragile - the back of him never seems to change or grow - sorry, not sure what the front of him does, as I've never seen it!"

Another said of the video: "I agree the little girl whoever she is looks above 3.

"More like my youngest great granddaughter and she just turned 7. As for Archie he gets smaller."

These questions are being asked after Lilibet was seen making another rare appearance online following the relaunch of the website for her mother's 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.
