Prince Harry’s ‘dirty’ bare feet called on the royal woman to ‘buy shoes and put them away’ after announcing baby number two with wife Meghan on Sunday.
A spokesman for the couple said in a statement: “We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted with their second child. ‘
Harry (36) and Meghan (39) confirmed the happy news with a black-and-white photo of themselves. The couple sits near a tree with Harry’s hand under Meghan’s head, while she lies on his lap with her hand on her hump.
But for many fans, the face of the prince’s bare feet was too much.
Twitter user @KellyannBabes wrote: “Congratulations Harry and Meghan .. but it’s serious that Harry’s bare feet are needed.”
@ Matriarch4 added: ‘Someone has to buy Harry shoes. Ewwww, feet. ‘
@Mama_Cougar said, ‘OK OK, I’ll say that. If I never see Prince Harry’s bare feet again, it’s going to be too soon. ‘

But for some, the photo shared to celebrate their pregnancy – taken by the couple’s longtime friend Misan Harriman – was also a sign of contempt.
Twitter user @MirandaUganda said: “In many countries it is very offensive to show the soles of your feet.”
@ZoeThinks said, ‘I wonder why we should look at his dirty feet?’
She added: “In many Arab, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist countries, the showing of the soles of the feet is a sign of contempt.”
Others said ‘everything else is perfect’ – crossing Harry’s bare feet.
@thedyingswann said: ‘My only complaint about the photo is that Harry is barefoot – I hate seeing feet with burning passion. All the others are perfect! ‘
“I’m glad for them, but please, Harry put his feet away,” user @g0ldxnharry added.

Their baby announcement came days after Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, welcomed a baby boy on February 9.
The gender of the couple’s second baby, as well as the expiration date, remain unclear.
Baby Sussex will be the 10th or 11th great-grandchild of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, depending on whether he or she arrives before or after the baby of Zara Tindall, who will also appear in 2021.
Meghan recycled a Carolina Herrera dress made during her first pregnancy for the birth announcement photo.
Harriman, the Nigerian-born British photographer who took the picture, wrote on Twitter: ‘Meg, I was there at your wedding to see how this love story begins, and my friend, I am honored to make it grow.
“Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on this joyful news!”
It is unclear where the photo was taken, but Harriman indicated he took it remotely via an iPad.
Speaking to British Vogue after the baby announcement, Harriman said: ‘To be asked to help share this absolute joy after such an unimaginable loss and sadness is a sign of true friendship.
Meg reminded me that if I had not introduced her to a mutual friend, she would not have met Harry.
“I’m grateful for whatever small role I played.”
Regarding the way he captured the image, he said: ‘With the tree of life behind them and the garden representing fertility, life and moving forward, they need no direction, for they have been and always have been through living together as absolute soulmates. ‘
On Twitter user @KayakSeaFishing, he responded by saying: ‘Harry has very ugly feet. He’s like a hobbit! ‘
@delabole added: ‘Doesn’t matter with the baby bump. I just do not want to see Harry’s bare feet. ‘
And while Twitter user @ Positivelady92 calls it a ‘great photo’, they added: ‘I think Harry should wash his feet though.’
@ Debied123 agrees and adds, “Who else zoomed in on the condition of Harry’s feet?”
@TaliaBM simply said, ‘File’ Prince Harry’s feet ‘under things I never wanted to see.’
The Duke said in 2019 that he would have only two children for the sake of the planet a year after he married Markle who was married in May 2018 at Windsor Castle.

Earlier this month, the author of Meghan’s autobiography, Omid Scobie, claimed that the Duchess did not intend to go with Harry on his first trip back to the UK because she did not want to be away from Archie.
Scobie added that Meghan is likely to virtually catch up with the family, explaining: “Archie likes to be on Zoom calls with the family and the queen enjoys it all the time.”
