Meghan Markle fans have spotted a ‘creepy’ detail in new photos of her and Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex has found herself at the center of online discussion after sharing intimate Fourth of July celebrations on Instagram, with followers fixated on an unexpected detail in her holiday photos.
Markle took to social media to commemorate America‘s Independence Day with a personal touch, revealing a charming tradition that began during her early relationship with Prince Harry.
The couple’s holiday celebration included decorated cupcakes that have become a family staple since their courtship days.
In her Instagram carousel post, the former Suits actress shared images of patriotic treats alongside a cozy selfie with her husband.
The cupcakes featured creative decorations using blueberries and strawberries arranged as facial features against white frosting backgrounds, but people noticed a creepy detail.
This latest social media moment follows previous instances where Markle’s online presence has attracted both praise and criticism.
The couple has maintained an active digital presence since stepping back from royal duties, sharing glimpses of their California lifestyle with followers.
This isn’t the first time eagle-eyed fans have taken issue with one of Markle’s posts.
The Duchess posted an Instagram video on May 18, 2025 (the day before her 7th wedding anniversary with Prince Harry) showing herself arranging pink flowers with the caption: “Happy Sunday, friends.”
However, social media users noticed she used LL Cool J’s 1995 song ‘Doin’ It’ as background music – a track with explicitly naughty lyrics.
While the video clip only featured relatively tame lyrics about representing Queens and Brooklyn, fans interpreted the song choice as a deliberate, cheeky reference to her romantic life with Prince Harry, especially given the timing before their anniversary.
The cupcakes featured creative decorations using blueberries and strawberries arranged as facial features against white frosting backgrounds.
However, social media users quickly noticed something peculiar about the dessert presentation.
The berry-decorated cupcakes, intended as festive treats, struck many viewers as having an unintentionally eerie appearance.
Online commenters began drawing comparisons between the cupcake designs and various spooky figures.
Discussion threads emerged across platforms as users shared their interpretations of what the decorated treats resembled.
One pens: “Wait am I the only one who thinks these look like little snowmen? So adorable!”
A second adds: “The blueberry eyes are giving me major ghost vibes. Still cute though!”
“Those strawberry mouths are sending me! Accidental Halloween vibes in July,” laughs a third.
“Am I the only one seeing angry birds in those berry faces?” questions another.
Another jokes: “Those blueberry and strawberry faces are unintentionally hilarious. They look like they’re judging me through the screen!”
The cupcake tradition reportedly dates back to the couple’s second date in 2016, establishing a meaningful connection between their early romance and current family celebrations, per the London Evening Standard.
The practice has evolved to include their children, creating lasting holiday memories for the Sussex family.
