You’ll never guess why Duchess Meghan is being mum-shamed!
Duchess Meghan Markle is being mum-shamed for the way she held her newborn son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor during the baby’s first public outing, with critics insisting it looked like she was going to drop him.
The 37-year-old new mum was photographed cradling her baby boy and planting a tender kiss on his head while they joined Kate Middleton and her three children at Billingbear Polo Club in Wokingham, Surrey, on Wednesday to watch Prince William and Prince Harry go head-to-head in the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day.
After numerous outlets published photos of the Duchess Meghan of Sussex with Archie, people turned to Instagram to criticise the way she was holding him.
‘Meghan looks like she’s about to drop him,’ one Instagram user wrote.
While another added: ‘She’s gonna drop that baby.’ (I have to admit I did think the same thing when I first saw the images!)
‘Meghan doesn’t know how to carry her own baby! Such a shame,’ someone else commented.
One person noted: ‘The way little Archie is being held. Scary.’
Although Duchess Meghan seemed to be nothing but affectionate while holding her baby boy, critics couldn’t resist pointing out all of the things they thought she was doing wrong.
‘She should have put a hat and socks on the poor baby!!’ one person griped. ‘She is also not able to hold the baby.’
‘You can tell she doesn’t even take care of her own kid. What kind of mother holds their baby like that,’ someone else cruelly commented.
Fans jumped to defend the new mum
Many royal fans jumped to Duchess Meghan Markle’s defence telling people to give the new mum a break.
‘There are moms out there who didn’t know how to pick [up] their baby for months either, it’s a process so give her a break,’ the person wrote. ‘Royals are humans too.’
‘She’s a brand new mother. Stop the damn mom shaming! Jesus,’ someone else commented.
‘She could be a natural at home but she’s probably trying to shelter from the cameras and the judgment,’ she added. ‘I’m guessing no one can see it from that point of view since you are all perfect parents.’
