New Photo Of Harry & Lilibet Sparks Brutal Backlash

On International Women's Day, Megan Markle took a break from promoting her new Netflix show

to share some sweet family snapshots on Instagram. And one rare new photo of her daughter Lillibut has the parenting police up in arms

Here she is with Papa Prince Harry sitting on his lap, her face obscured, but her red hair matching dads

They're on a boat, but it's unclear if they're docked or out on the water. Notice anything missing

Harry and Megan's harshest critics sure do. They're calling the prince out for not putting his three-year-old daughter in a life jacket

as that's the law for kids under the age of 13 in California, where it's assumed this photo was taken

Megan doesn't allow comments on Instagram, so the shaming took place on X, and it was extra brutal this time

They suck at being parents, makes me cringe, and how irresponsible were just a few of the critical comments we can repeat here

One user posted, even pet owners put life vests on their pets when riding in boats

It's not caddy, it's cruel. But some online were more sympathetic to the Duke and Duchess

pointing out that the boat could have been docked or even sitting on the beach

And as G.B News points out in Britain, children aren't even required by law to wear life jackets while boating

So to Harry, it's normal. Megan's other photos were far less controversial

Here she is as a kid with her mama Doria. And here's a recent pick of the pair

And here, Megan is with Harry. Her toes covered in sand as they walk on the beach

All the hate over the pick of Harry and Lilibut didn't appear to get Megan down as she posted

Happy Weekend Friends the next day. alongside a video of her cutting flowers and placing them in an empty jam jar

Megan's Netflix show, With Love Megan, was recently picked up for season two

despite the crafting and cooking show getting dismantled and roasted by viewers and critics

She's so beautiful on the inside, and you just don't know how good she is until you go deep

and you get to know her better. The second go was reportedly shot at the same time as season one Meg been riding high on a wave of headlines spun up by the series including the news that she now going by the name Megan Sussex I don think anyone in the world knows that Megan Markle has eaten Jack in the Box and loves it

It's so funny, too, that you keep saying Megan Markle, you know I'm Sussex now. And then there are the scathing reviews. The shows at just 33% on Rotten Tomatoes

as of the making of this video, with critics calling it tedious, pointless, inauthentic and an exercise in narcissism

But they say there's no such thing as bad publicity, and Netflix clearly agrees

choosing to push ahead with a second season, and thus a second round of coverage, breathlessly dissecting every episode

Season 1 highlights include Megan making a one pot pasta dish that's suspiciously similar to a Martha Stewart favorite

And the Duchess puts edible flowers on cookies, eggs and even inside ice cubes

in an infomercial-like push to sell her branded flower sprinkles, which are still not available for purchase, as of this video

Do they add flavor or is it decorative? It's just an accessory. In another much mocked moment, Megan simply puts Trader Joe's peanut butter pretzels in a different bag

then uses her calligraphy skills to label them. Prince Harry pops up at the end of the series, congratulating his wife on a job well done

And here's her mom, Doria. Megan's kids, Archie and Lillibut, aren't in the series

as Megan is choosing to largely limit their exposure to just social media snaps

like this latest one of Lillibut and Harry on the boat. But Lillibut is also kind of the face of Megan's brand

as ever, even though we don't see her face. Here she is on the as-ever website walking hand in hand with her mom

Commemorating International Women's Day is a tradition for the Duchess. Last year, she joined a South by Southwest panel about women taking on leadership roles

When asked about how she deals with the endless toxicity of social media, Megan shared her strategy

I keep my distance from it right now just for my own well-being
