Jenna Bush Hager enjoyed a luxurious vacation with her entire extended family, just days after she called out Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for not bringing their kids to the UK to see their grandparents over the past four years.
Bush Hager, 44, made headlines last week after she commented on the shocking news that Meghan and Prince Harry were moving back to the UK.
The announcement came six years after the couple left their life as royals to live in California in an explosive move that reportedly tore Prince Harry's family apart.
While discussing the news on the August 20 episode of Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Bush Hager called Harry and Meghan out for waiting four years to bring their kids back to England.
The couple notably brought their son, Prince Archie, now seven, and daughter, Princess Lilibet, now five, to England in June 2022 for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. After that, four years passed before the youngsters returned to Britain last month.
'This is what we do know, which is very little. They visited the King and Queen Camilla in July,' Bush Hager said of the couple's recent July trip to the UK to visit King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
'It was the first time that they have taken their kids to go visit their grandparents in four years,' she added. 'Think about little kids' lives, how much changes in four years. It's like, [they're] totally different humans.'
Just days after the comment, Bush Hager revealed via Instagram that her kids were spending time with their grandparents.

Her Today show co-host Sheinelle Jones commented on the string of pictures, writing, 'So perfect,' along with a teary-eyed emoji and two red heart emojis.
The photos were posted just days after she and co-host Jones discussed the Duke and Duchess' move back to the UK, which was announced on August 19.
Meghan and Harry shocked the world with the announcement that they would be relocating back to Britain along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
On their hit show, Today With Jenna & Sheinelle, the two discussed Harry and Meghan's dramatic move to the US six years ago, claiming it felt like the former royal couple 'lit a match' and blew everything up when they fled the UK.
The two co-hosts said that Meghan and Harry's move back to Britain should be a 'lesson' to others.
'It's a lesson for everybody. When you leave something and say you're never going back... [don't] light a match,' Jenna said.
'They sort of threw whatever at the institutions that exist in the UK. It's hard to say things like that and then be like, well...' the host trailed off, as she threw her hands in the air.
'They were like, "We're out, hello US,"' Sheinelle interjected.
'I also think, good for them for living their life,' Jenna added.
Sheinelle suggested that they may have moved back to the UK to spend more time with family.

'I feel like our parents aren't getting any younger, our grandparents, and so you want your kids to know their grandparents and their cousins and their family members,' Sheinelle theorized.
'I totally understand the move, but I think the reason people are surprised was because there was a little bit of...' Jenna trailed off again.
Prince Harry and Meghan are expected to move back to the UK this month.
It is understood that they will enroll their children in a UK school and will establish a private, non-royal home base in Britain while still maintaining their residences in Montecito, California, and Portugal.
King Charles III, who is understood to have been informed of Harry's plans only on Sunday, is said to welcome the opportunity to spend more time privately with his younger son and grandchildren.
But Buckingham Palace's position on Harry and Meghan's official status is understood to be unchanged.
Prince Harry is still reportedly estranged from his older brother, Prince William, and his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales.
