Prince Harry and Meghan Markle slammed after fans spot ‘illegal’ detail in Instagram snap

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been roasted on social media after fans spotted an “illegal” detail in an innocent family snap.

Meghan Markle might be on an all-time high at the moment, celebrating the announcement of a second series of her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan, but the haters are still trying to bring her down with every sweet post she shares on social media.

Even on International Women’s Day — a day, ironically, reserved for women to be lifting each other up.

On the special day, Meghan took the opportunity to share some rare images of her family, including mum 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 carousel of snaps.

But there was a glaring issue that ‘fans’ spotted in the shot of Lilibet and father, Prince Harry.

One of the photos shows three-year-old Lilibet sitting on her father’s lap inside a boat floating on the water, and what was meant to be a sweet moment captured very swiftly turned into a public slamming match.

While comments remain disabled on all of Meghan’s Instagram posts, people turned to Twitter to place shame on the Duchess of Sussex. Why? For placing their young daughter in danger by not putting a life vest on her while on the water.

“She should ABSOLUTELY have a life vest on,” one person commented on Twitter.

“A child on a boat without a lifejacket makes me cringe,” another person added. And another person chimed in with: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are so good at showing the world how much they suck at being parents.”

Other comments ranged from concern: “Things happen in a blink of an eye” and “accidents happen very quickly” to nasty name-calling: “What f – king moron doesn’t put their child in a safety vest while boating? This is a LEGAL requirement for all when boating.”

Under California law, where we assume this photo was taken, every child under the age of 13 is required to wear a life jacket while on a moving, floating vessel.

So, were Meghan and Harry actually doing anything wrong? Some fans insisted we didn’t know all the facts to judge.

“They may be tied up at the dock,” one person pointed out.

“I’ll bet this boat was just sitting on the beach,” another agreed.

After the LA fires forced the Duchess of Sussex to postpone the airing of her show, With Love, Meghan, the eight-part series has finally landed on Netflix.

The candid, lifestyle-centric show takes us through some of Meghan’s personal tips and tricks around the home and garden.

While there’s no doubt it’s beautifully shot, with some seriously addictive ASMR moments in the kitchen, the show has been panned by critics worldwide.
