Several photos of Prince George playing with a toy gun on Sunday sparked a heated debate on social media. The 4-year-old future King of England was enjoying some playtime alongside his sister Princess Charlotte and friends when he was snapped playing with a plastic gun.

The young prince's mother, Kate Middleton, appeared to be enjoying the downtime as they watched Prince William play at the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy at Beaufort Polo Club.

Many took to Twitter to criticize Will and Kate for allowing their son to play with a toy gun. "Completely tone deaf of Kate... to give Prince George a toy gun. Doesn’t she read the papers in her own country with all the gun deaths? If the Duchess of Sussex had done this, she would be excoriated in the media! Lucky George isn’t black or police would have shot him," one user wrote.

I saw someone comment on twitter that if he were wearing a dress and playing with makeup he'd be considered a hero.

ETA: You can tell they want no more affairs within the royal family based on their nanny selection.

I know this gets repeated all the time, but it's rather sad to see the devolution and 'pussification' of the UK over a hundred year span. From having an empire upon which the sun never sets to going apey over a Prince holding a toy gun. My God.

The UK has a lot of gun deaths? I guess those highly restrictive gun laws aren't doing much good then, are they?

Brits are idiots when it comes to guns...

Remember the Brittish guy who found a bullet, and wrapped it in a towel to bring it to the police because he was afraid it would spontaneously go off...

With what exactly. That toy pistol has as much stopping power as the non-existent guns police in the UK carry.

Good for the young prince. I'm glad he's able to do what millions upon millions of other children have done growing up.

It's funny my son has been watching Winnie the Pooh lately. The episode where he meets Tigger, he heard a scary noise outside, so he has a toy gun that he patrols his room with and then goes on a bad acid trip and a bunch of elephants (heffalumps) turn into guns and shoot at him.

I always laugh thinking that if this was made today Winnie the Pooh would be on CNN 24hrs a day accused of being a Nazi and a misogynistic war monger. Whinnie the Pooh. Our society is so beyond fricked.

What the longest humanity has ever gone without a major war? It's inevitable. We cannot accept happiness.

I’m a millennial and even growing up in the progressive Mecca of the south (Austin), my friends and I always had airsoft wars in our front yards, around the neighborhood, or in public parks AND never had issues with this.

God damn you can’t even be a kid in this world even more.

Yes. You can.

Don't let these hack pieces by the media that use 3 people on twitter as evidence persuade you otherwise.

These types of articles are the lowest form of "media" that has ever existed.

fricking hacks.

I remember when I was a kid, I had a "Rambo" set. It was a fake machine gun, a grenade, knife, a piece of cloth to tie around your head.. Could you imagine if they tried to sell some shite like that today?

Anyone ever been in a paintball gun fight without the equipment? Or been hit by one without any protection? One night, when we were in HS, we went pull drive-bys with paint ball guns.

This girl we knew, we went light her car up and it turned into a big deal because she had to get her car painted because it fricked up the paint on it.. But they never found out who did it.. But that was fun as well.
