King Charles sarcastically accused Meghan and Harry of “putting Lilibet’s safety at risk”: “They’re just pretending to be good parents, but it’s all for money…”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Criticized Over Safety Concerns for Lilibet
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have sparked controversy following a decision about their daughter, Princess Lilibet, that some fans deemed “irresponsible.”
Meghan Markle recently shared a series of unseen photographs in honor of International Women’s Day, accompanied by a powerful message. However, one particular image caught the attention of social media users—an adorable moment between Prince Harry and Lilibet.
In the photo, the Duke of Sussex can be seen holding his young daughter while enjoying a boat ride. While the moment appeared heartwarming, critics quickly pointed out a potential safety issue.
According to *Hello! Magazine*, many online users called out the couple for not ensuring Lilibet was wearing a life jacket while on the boat.
“A child on a boat without a lifejacket makes me cringe. We’ve had several drownings in our state for that very reason,” one concerned individual posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Another user echoed the sentiment, stating, “How irresponsible. Even pet owners put life vests on their pets when riding in boats.”
As of now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not addressed the backlash or provided any clarification regarding the circumstances of the photo.
Amid the criticism, some supporters defended the Sussexes, speculating that the boat may have been docked at the time the photo was taken, meaning no safety regulations were violated.
Despite the mixed reactions, the debate continues to stir discussion online, with many questioning whether public figures like Harry and Meghan should be more mindful of setting an example when it comes to child safety.
