Prince William and Kate Middleton criticized for going on a vacation without their baby

Prince William and Kate Middleton are currently in the Maldives, spending some quality time together away from 7-month-old George - a decision criticized by many.

The little prince is reportedly being cared for by his nanny and grandparents while his parents are out of town.

As a result, the couple has come under fire from some social media users for being away from their son for so long and at such a young age, according to the Daily Mail.

The couple are currently staying at an exclusive resort enjoying something of a second honeymoon.

Critics have posted their dismay on Twitter, saying it was inappropriate for the royal parents to have left their own child out of what could have been an enjoyable family vacation.

Some critics also questioned how William, who was recently condemned for boar hunting in Spain, was able to take some time off his 10-week agriculture management course at Cambridge University.

One commenter who goes by "louloutheshames" posted on Mumsnet: "Seriously? Think this might turn public opinion against them... seems it's just one long holiday for the D and D of Cambridge."

Another blogger who goes by the username "crazy spaniel," posted: "Well, they need a holiday - him to recover from the shooting holiday in Spain a couple of weeks ago, and her to recover from the Mustique holiday last month."

On the other hand, at least one another commenter supported their decision, saying: "If the baby is in good hands, why not? He if first grandson for doting grandparents and probably has a very competent nanny. If I could afford a holiday every few weeks without the baby, I'd take them too."
