'F****** m*****': Why Meghan and Harry’s photo has people fuming
- Replies 0
Public scrutiny is nothing new for high-profile figures, but sometimes, even the most well-intentioned moments can spark unexpected controversy.
What should have been a heartwarming celebration quickly turned into a heated debate, with critics seizing on a single detail in a family snapshot.
Now, questions are being raised about whether a simple parenting choice was a harmless moment—or a serious lapse in judgment.
Meghan Markle was riding high after the announcement that her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, would be returning for a second season.
But even on International Women’s Day—a time meant to celebrate and uplift women—critics found a way to turn a joyful moment into another round of backlash.
Meghan marked the occasion by sharing rare family photos featuring her mother, Doria, and daughter, Lilibet.
‘Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating the strong women around us & the girls with dreams who will become women with vision. Also thanking those who uplift us every day,’ she captioned the post.
One image, however, quickly became the focus of online scrutiny.
The photo in question showed three-year-old Lilibet sitting on Prince Harry’s lap aboard a boat, and it wasn’t long before critics accused them of putting their child in danger.
While comments were disabled on Meghan’s social media, the conversation spilled onto other platforms, with many calling out the couple for not putting a life jacket on their daughter.
‘She should ABSOLUTELY have a life vest on,’ one person wrote.
‘A child on a boat without a lifejacket makes me cringe,’ another added.
Someone else took aim at their parenting: ‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are so good at showing the world how much they suck at being parents.’
Others were more blunt, with one person writing: ‘What f****** m***** doesn’t put their child in a safety vest while boating? This is a LEGAL requirement for all when boating.’
According to California law, children under 13 must wear a life jacket while on a moving vessel, though some pointed out that the situation may not have been as reckless as it seemed.
‘They may be tied up at the dock,’ one person suggested.
‘I’ll bet this boat was just sitting on the beach,’ another speculated.
The controversy came just as With Love, Meghan finally landed on Netflix after being postponed due to the LA fires.
The eight-part series offered a glimpse into Meghan’s personal approach to home and garden living, with critics noting its visually stunning production and soothing ASMR elements.
However, not everyone was impressed, with reviews suggesting the show failed to make a lasting impact.
In a previous story, Meghan had been keeping fans guessing about her next big project.
Now, with the details finally out in the open, her latest venture is making headlines for all the right reasons.
