Meghan Markle took to Instagram on International Women’s Day to highlight the women in her life and share a new photo of her daughter Lilibet in a series of photos. However, this move led to a wave of criticism – here’s why.
Alongside her mother, Lilibet made an appearance in Meghan’s recent Instagram post, but the focus of her followers shifted to one specific detail.
Criticism of this photo of Lilibet on Meghan Markle’s Instagram account
Meghan Markle shared a series of four photos in honor of International Women’s Day, but her audience seemed particularly focused on the third photo (located at the bottom of this article) where Lilibet is pictured with Prince Harry – and here’s why it sparked displeasure.
‘We celebrate the strong women around us and the girls with dreams that will become women of vision,’ Meghan wrote in her post. As attention turned to the controversial photo, viewers were quick to notice that the image of Lilibet depicted her sitting on Prince Harry’s lap on a boat, prompting the question: where is her life jacket?
‘The shameful negligence of a child without a life jacket is astounding,’ stated one user. Another expressed disapproval, saying ‘No life jacket for a three-year-old while boating. Neglect of her safety.’
