Prince Harry has been left "uncomfortable with Meghan Markle parading him on social media" after the Duke of Sussex issued a recent warning about the dangers online.
Meghan made a return to social media at the start of this year, recently sharing an insight into her family's life in California.
Meghan even shared a rare peek at Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's features, something that Harry is not a massive fan of.
A source told Page Six: "He's very aware of her parading him around" and "doesn't love the social media displays."

A few weeks ago, Meghan posted an Instagram video of her time in Washington DC, showing a blue and white bag with her Duke of Sussex title on it.
The source said Harry "is aware" things like that are "not a great look and Fergie-esque" in a reference to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
"The shine has worn off, which is fair at this point in a relationship," the source continued.
"But he's also blown up his life for her. He's used to being universally loved. Now it's the exact opposite: actively booed," in a reference to the Sussexes being booed at an LA Dodgers game they attended.

"I think 21 is a sensible age. But the companies don't, they won't ever allow that. They will throw tens of millions of dollars to lobby against that."

"Meta had written a policy that basically allowed these chatbots to flirt with children.

"It's like, how could that possibly be a mistake? It went all the way up to your legal team."
