Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dating since 2016 and to mark the occasion she joined in on the trend where people are comparing life to what it looked like 10 years ago. As a result, Meghan shared a video of she and Harry dancing in a garden as she wrote: "When 2026 feels just like 2016... you had to be there," putting the video credit as their daughter. She also shared an old photo with Harry from 2016 to reflect on the changes in their relationship.

Their relationship has changed over the years, but most notably when they decided to leave the UK they separated themselves from the royals and went on to live their life as a family of four in the US, while still using their royal titles and taking on TV show appearances. Now, they're dancing into 2026 to celebrate their relationship, but fans aren't buying it, and neither am I.

Taking to X, one user wrote: "I know a few successful, happy and geuinely in love couples. The common factor is they barely post on social media. And when they do, they aren't trying to convince anyone that they're in love." This comment really struck a chord with me because it's so true. How often do couples really just randomly start dancing in their garden, while their children are filming? I can count how many times I've randomly danced with my husband, especially appearing to know a routine.

But regardless, if this was genuine, this should be a genuinely touching moment, but it doesn't feel like one. It feels exactly like they are following a routine, a routine of dance, laugh, cuddle, kiss. It almost feels a bit forced, but for what reason? Just to post to make it clear they're still together after people doubted their relationship?

And I'm not the only one thinking this video is a bit odd, as you can see from the previous tweet, but someone else mirrored the sentiment too.

Another person wrote: "Posting this video did nothing but only shows there's problems in their marriage. People truly in love don't need to post themselves. The more posts we see, the more it shouts problems in their marriage." Now I don't agree that posting exclusively shows problems in the marriage, but I actually think a cute photo of them both would have been a better depiction of them. The second image in Meghan's photo shows her and Harry cuddled up, standing together. She could have done that again and it would've looked like they were recreating an old photo, knowingly, very cute.

This video just screams social media attention, and it's not the relatable royal she is hoping it is. People online have been saying it's "staged", asking how many takes it took to make it, because it doesn't look authentic. I know posing for a photo is more staged, but an obviously staged photo is better than a staged video with the attempt to look natural.

I'm sure Harry and Meghan do love each other, but they're not doing a good job at convincing the public they're IN love with each other, and these odd displays aren't helping the way they think it is.
