Cape Town – Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently revealed their new charities to follow over the "festive holiday season" – but people on the internet were more concerned with the caption of the post, according to E! News.

"With the festive holiday season upon us, it's also a reminder to reflect on those in need – those who may feel lonely, hungry, homeless, or may be experiencing the holidays for the first time without loved ones.

"It's an important time of year to help those around you who may be less fortunate, or who would appreciate even the smallest act of kindness," Their Royal Highnesses continued.

With the festive holiday season upon us, it’s also a reminder to reflect on those in need – those who may feel lonely, hungry, homeless, or may be experiencing the holidays for the first time without loved ones. It’s an important time of year to help those around you who may be less fortunate, or who would appreciate even the smallest act of kindness. Continuing our monthly tradition of highlighting accounts that do good, and inspired by the “Twelve Days of Christmas” - we have selected twelve organisations caring for those in need - especially at this time of year. There are, thankfully, so many organisations around the world doing good on global and grassroots levels, many of which are not on Instagram. Check out the accounts we have chosen and please share those in your own communities that are making a difference. We would love to hear about the ones that inspire you - so please tell us and add your country’s flag! Images used are from the accounts we are now following.

Because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have an entire team behind them – comprised of all women too – we can assume Sara Latham, head of communications to Their Royal Highnesses, would be the one running their Instagram account as well. But royal fans don't think so.

Responding to the caption that spoke about the "festive holiday season", one fan commented on the post, "You mean Christmas." Another said, "In Europe we say 'Christmas' not 'holiday'," wrote another.

"It's Christmas please, not the 'holiday season' – that's American," said one Instagram follower.

Of course, Sara Latham, who was the senior adviser in Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, is also American. But that's no matter to the people of the internet. It must be Meghan!
