Chinese netizens are in full roast mode after Meghan Markle was spotted letting Archie run barefoot through a pumpkin patch. Anyone who’s ever set foot in one knows: those pumpkin vines aren’t soft and friendly; they’re nature’s barbed wire. Running barefoot through them isn’t “rustic charm,” it’s an extreme sport.
This wasn’t the backyard of Meghan’s Montecito mansion where the grass is perfectly manicured by Latino gardeners.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that 4-year-old Lilibet is still wearing diapers. Cue collective gasps. Most kids ditch diapers by two or three, but apparently royal potty training runs on royal time.
So, what Meghan likely thought was a cute autumn outing turned into an online spectacle: a barefoot prince in line to the throne, a diapered princess, and a pumpkin patch that became the latest battlefield of international parenting judgment.
