Meghan Markle shared the clearest picture of her daughter, Princess Lilibet\u2019s face to date, as she joined dad Prince Harry for a sweet photoshoot to mark Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared the sunset photograph on her official Instagram page on Saturday, with the caption: \u201cThese two + Archie = my forever Valentines.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the photo, which appears to have been taken outside the Sussexes\u2019 Montecito mansion, Harry, 41, holds his four-year-old daughter<\/a> in his arms as she clutches a huge bunch of red balloons.<\/p>\n

\"\u2018From<\/p>\n

Lilibet looked adorable in a pink ballet dress and tights, her long red hair trailing down her back. The new picture is the first time little Lilibet\u2019s face has been visible from the side since she was a baby.<\/p>\n

While many fans have praised the wholesome photograph and loved getting a rare glimpse of Lilibet, some sceptical people were quick to suggest the image looked \u201cphotoshopped\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are the balloons not attached to a string…magic or photoshopped????\u201d one viewer on X\/Twitter commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, one of the balloons appears to defy the laws of physics PHOTOSHOPPED,\u201d another person added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I thought how cute then wait\u2026how is that balloon on the left even attached?? Sad photoshop fail,\u201d a third viewer wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere’s the ribbon for the levitating balloon?\u201d echoed a fourth.<\/p>\n

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted other inconsistencies, which led them to claim the picture had been edited.<\/p>\n

\u201cA balloon with no string, the mash up of the girl\u2019s hand, no shoes or dirt\/grass marks on the tights, odd position of her face,\u201d one fan noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I detected something with Harry\u2019s arm around Lilibet,\u201d another pointed out.<\/p>\n

Others were also confused as to why Prince Archie, six, was not included in the Valentine\u2019s Day shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s Archie?\u201d one fan asked, while another added: \u201cAnd Archie? Why not have him in the picture?\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes after Harry made an emotional public appearance<\/a> while calling out the dangers of social media among children.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, the prince spoke to bereaved families who were launching a legal challenge against Instagram and YouTube to investigate whether the tech companies are guilty of negatively affecting young people’s mental health.<\/p>\n

\"\u2018Spare<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old praised the parents for \u201ctelling [their] stories over and over again\u201d to bring \u201ctruth, justice and accountability” to the forefront.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve said time and time again that this is a David versus Goliath situation. I\u2019ve been in some similar situations myself, [others] vastly different,\u201d he said, fighting back tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I said, none of you should be here. So, thank you for doing everything that you\u2019ve done. Thank you for telling your stories over and over again.<\/p>\n
