While going hiking with her baby son and puppies, Twitter urges Duchess of Sussex to take advice on how to handle kids from her nanny.

Meghan Markle was criticised on social media after images emerged of her awkwardly handling Archie while walking her two puppies.

The Duchess of Sussex seemed to be in good spirits as she strolled through the woods just a few miles from her oceanfront home on Vancouver Island, Canada, where she has spent the past two months.

Baby Archie seemed a bit uneasy against his mother’s chest in a sporty $180 (£154) Ergo 360 Omni Baby Carrier, according to some eagle-eyed Twitter users.

However, parenting specialists have defended the Duchess, saying that Archie seems to be in safe and well. They noticed that the right shoulder strap had fallen down for a brief moment, which is a common occurrence among busy parents.

‘Archie seems nervous – maybe one of Meghan’s security guards should lend her a hand with the pup…just saying,’ said one online critic.

‘Please someone teach Meghan how to properly use a baby carrier before sweet little Archie falls out,’ said another.

According to parenting specialists, such fear is unfounded, and Meghan seems to be in charge.

‘It is vital for the growth of a baby’s hips to have their weight equally spread while in a baby carrier,’ said parenting expert Vanessa Christie.

‘However, this looks like a moment in time when the strap has slipped off Meghan’s shoulder and Archie’s weight has temporarily shifted. She’s smiling broadly at him so I’m sure he was okay. ‘

‘When you are a busy mum, taking two dogs on a walk with a baby attached to your chest, the straps of your baby carrier could sometimes slip,’ said Milli Hill, bestselling author of The Positive Birth Book.

‘She’s done an incredible job, and the fact that one of her sling straps has slipped just goes to show how hard she’s trying and that she, like the rest of us, is human.’
