They think it’s inappropriate.
Over the weekend, Duchess Kate and her children went to go see Prince William play some polo.
The Duke of Cambridge was having a game at the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy at Beaufort Polo Club in Tetbury, Gloucestershire on Sunday while his family looked on.
Prince George could be seen playing with an array of toys in the grass including a slinky, a toy gun, a toy knife, and plastic handcuffs.
In some images, the three-year-old can be seen pointing the gun at another boy and running around.
Despite the clear innocence of the game that the boys are playing, some people weren’t impressed that the prince had been photographed with the toys in question.
On Twitter, they wrote:

It’s not a joke some people lose their lives because their children thought they played with a toy and it was a real gun !! pic.twitter.com/IBJqQrXnef

Prince George has a known interested in all things police and emergency services.
Back in December, Prince William presented Santa Claus with his son’s Christmas list which only had one item – ‘police car.’
Despite the backlash though, others saw Prince George’s toys for what they were – toys being played with by a child.
“It’s a toy, FFS,” replied one person.
“It’s innocent,” said another.
A toy is a toy, but that being said, the royals are the royals and every single thing they do is expected to be under harsh scrutinisation for the rest of their lives.
That’s just the life they lead, we guess.
