While many fans appreciated the sweet father-daughter moment, the couple quickly found themselves at the center of criticism. Social media users were quick to point out that Lilibet was not wearing a lifejacket, calling the decision “irresponsible.”
“Isn’t it illegal not to have a lifejacket on your child? Very irresponsible,” one user commented, according to Sky News.
“My family has been in the boating industry for four generations. A very big no-no—things happen in the blink of an eye,” another added.
A third person criticized the couple even more harshly, stating: “The self-absorbed, brain-dead parents didn’t put a lifejacket on that child.”
Could They Be Breaking the Law?
It remains unclear where the photo was taken or under what circumstances. However, according to Sky News, California law mandates that children under 13 must wear a Coast Guard-approved lifejacket when aboard a moving recreational vessel of any size. The only exceptions are if the child is inside an enclosed cabin or secured with a harness on a sailboat. Violators can be fined up to $250.
Many other social media users questioned the image, not only due to the lack of a lifejacket but also because they suspected the photo had been altered.
“As ever, it’s always weird. The yellow circle shows Harry’s left hand, and the green circle shows another two left hands,” one person noted.
Despite the backlash, some people defended the couple.
“While safety is crucial, it’s also important to recognize that not every moment in a family’s life will be perfect or picture-perfect. Let’s focus on the overall well-being of children rather than nitpicking isolated incidents,” one user argued.
Another dismissed the criticism altogether, simply commenting, “Bunch of Karens.”
