Marking International Women's Day, Meghan Markle took to Instagram to share a touching tribute, featuring never-before-seen snapshots of her mother, Doria Ragland, husband Prince Harry, and daughter Princess Lilibet. Expressing appreciation for the remarkable women who shape the world, she emphasized the importance of supporting and uplifting one another. In her message, she celebrated young girls with aspirations who grow into women with ambition, recognizing the power of encouragement and community in fostering dreams and driving meaningful change.

A seemingly tender moment between Prince Harry and Princess Lilibet, featured in the post, quickly turned into a storm of criticism. What was meant to be an endearing father-daughter snapshot—Prince Harry cradling Princess Lilibet and kissing her forehead on a surfing boat—sparked backlash as eagle-eyed fans noticed a glaring concern: the young princess was not wearing a life jacket. The image ignited a wave of safety concerns, with critics questioning the apparent disregard for precautionary measures.
