Meghan Markle takes kids to risky activity raising safety concerns among parents

It seems that no matter what Meghan Markle does, there's always a way for the internet to twist it into another headline-worthy scandal. This time, she's under fire for taking her daughter Lilibeth on what some are calling a "dangerous outing." But many fans believe the reaction may be a bit over the top. After Meghan posted a video from a recent mother-daughter activity, the criticism came quickly-especially from parents who didn't hold back online.

Now that Meghan's returned to Instagram, she's making a clear effort to rebrand her family life-less royal red carpets, more backyard bees. Her new content paints a picture of a grounded, sustainable lifestyle, one where she's trading tiaras for garden gloves. But while some applaud her down-to-earth vibe, others think it's all a little too perfectly curated. Her recent beekeeping session with Lilibeth caught the internet's attention, and not for the reasons she might've hoped. s were quick to call it unsafe for the young royal, who's seventh in line to the British throne.

Critics say the scene went too far for a royal toddler

Was it really that risky, though? Lilibet appeared fully suited up for the visit to the apiary, under the close watch of her mom. Critics claimed a beehive wasn't the place for a toddler, but many felt these comments were just another excuse to pile on Meghan. At the end of the day, most agreed the backlash was more about the duchess herself than the actual danger involved.

Some of the concern centered around the unpredictability of kids-especially when it comes to something like bees. People feared that any sudden movement could lead to a sting. But unless a child has a serious allergy, there's little reason to panic if proper safety measures are in place and an adult is supervising the whole time.

Even skeptics it the lesson might just be worth the sting

Even those who aren't exactly on Team Meghan itted the activity had some serious educational value. After all, bees are vital to our planet's health-pollinating roughly 75% of the crops we eat. Their role keeps our ecosystems balanced and s a wide range of animal life. Without them, biodiversity would take a nosedive. So, if a kid-friendly beekeeping session helps the next generation appreciate that, maybe it's worth the buzz.

More than just a cute Instagram moment, the lesson Meghan may be aiming for is teaching kids not to fear bees, but to respect them. That way, when they encounter one, their instinct won't be to panic-or squash it-but to simply step back and let nature do its thing.

Let's be real: a lot of this backlash might stem less from safety concerns and more from Meghan simply being Meghan. She's never quite been the crowd favorite in royal circles, and that status seems to follow her no matter what she does. Whether she's planting a garden or managing a beehive, there are some who will always look for a reason to criticize. In this case, it looks like the outrage might've been more about the duchess than the danger.
