Prince George and his family warmed hearts as they were seen watching a charity polo match but the future King of England’s toy choices raised some eyebrows.
The royal family was on hand to watch William, the Duke of Cambridge, in the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy in Gloucestershire on Sunday. And as Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, watched over George and Princess Charlotte, photos pictured the four-year-old prince playing with a toy gun, toy knife and handcuffs.

But Piers Morgan’s attempt at a joke over the photos earned him some instant backlash.

The host of “Good Morning Britain” was referring to the gun tattoo on the leg of soccer star Raheem Sterling.

OR maybe it might be that quite a lot of children always play with toy guns..

So no child ever played with toy guns till Sterling got the tattoo on his leg?

Morgan later attempted to clear things up by saying he was just joking.
Didn’t you play with guns in your childhood?

I did… it was a joke, relax. https://t.co/pj66i3qvHt

But it was too late to stop the firestorm he brought upon himself.
Piers has reached a new low. Didn’t think that was even possible. Gobshite. https://t.co/gJElG99lTE

You’re trying to make a joke of it now, cos you know how stupid you was being in the first place. https://t.co/68hoKQegWL

Using guns for comedic value? Why would you use weapons for some sort of a laugh. Don’t ever claim that moral high ground again in the argument against guns, you don’t deserve it.

So now you’re trying to make a joke out of it after PRETENDING to be outraged by it for a few days?
— Adam (@AdamWiIson) June 10, 2018
That was not a joke… You changed it after getting an instant backlash.
