Meghan Markle faces wrath of parenting police over photo of Lilibet on a boat without a safety vest

Social media users were not happy and blasted the royal couple for taking a lax approach to water safety while boating.

Another user wrote, "Family has been in the boating industry for four generations; a very big no no! Things happen in a blink of an eye."

"How irresponsible. Even pet owners put life vests on their pets when riding in boats," one user wrote on X.

"It's common sense, my kids were total water babies, strong swimmers and fishermen from an early age, they always wore life vests," an X user wrote. "Even strong swimmers can be thrown from a boat or slip, injure themselves and end up under water."

"Imagine not having a life jacket on your child that can't swim while out to sea on a dingy," one social media user quipped.

Representatives for Harry and Meghan's Archewell organization did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The show was widely criticized as "cringey" and inauthentic by royal experts and The Hollywood Reporter. British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that the show "appears mundane and lacks wow factor."
