Justin Trudeau slammed after sharing photos of himself enjoying lavish Italian vacation with daughter, 16
Critics have blasted Justin Trudeau for sharing 'tone deaf and elitist' photos from his lavish trip to Italy with his daughter in his latest trip abroad. The former Canadian Prime Minister, 53, posted several photos on Instagram with his only daughter Ella-Grace, 16, who he spoiled with a dreamy holiday to Italy where they explored the sights of Rome, Siena, Florence and Lake Como. The father-daughter duo were seen eating bruschetta in rolling Italian hills, beaming in front of St Peter's Basilica and enjoying a cozy dinner. He wrote on his Instagram account: 'Third of the kid trips this summer: Italy with Ella-Grace. Loved exploring Rome, Siena, Florence and Lake Como with her.' Trudeau took his sons, Xavier, 17, and Hadrien, 11, on their own separate lavish trips earlier in July. Some commenters have slammed the former prime minister for flaunting his glamorous vacations on social media. 'Most people are blessed to be able to take one trip a year. Boasting about this being your third is totally tone deaf and elitist,' one person said. 'I wish everyone could do what you did but unfortunately you f****d the economy big time,' another added. 'It's great you can afford to travel across Italy. Most of us can't afford groceries now, so thanks very much for mass immigration and poor policy,' said a third person. 'Ummmm your carbon footprint is killing people and the earth,' added a fourth. Another said: 'You made some good money off us - lucky kids.' Trudeau shares his three children with ex wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, from whom he announced a split in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. He took his eldest son, Xavier, 17, on an adventurous trip to Switzerland 'for some mountaineering, hiking, via ferrata-ing, and more melted cheese than anyone should safely eat.' Photos of the adrenaline-filled getaway showed the duo climbing up a snowy slope in Zermatt, ice axes in hand and mountaineering rope tied between them, clambering across steep drops and rocky edges. Hadrien, his youngest son who he once described as 'fun, fearless, and adventurous', went on a sun-soaked road trip with his father 'from Vancouver to Whistler and Victoria' where they enjoyed 'loads of fun activities together.' In an amusing snap the former-politician was seen grinning as he went white water rafting with his son, while other scenic shots showed the pair in the mountains and forests. While many criticized Trudeau for flashy trips, others came to his defense, praising him for being present in his children's lives. 'Not a great politician, but a great person and father,' one person said. A second added: 'Love that you're finally getting time to just chill with your kids! Enjoy every moment.' 'SO nice to see that you've got more quality time with your kids now. These trips will always be some of their most special memories! Great dad, great leader, great human,' said another person. 'I love it how you took the time now that you have it to take each one of them separately on a trip. You are an amazing dad Justin,' a fourth said. As well as spending more time with his children, Trudeau has been spotted spending time with popstar Katy Perry. Others jokingly asked if Katy Perry was his photographer after the two fueled dating rumors earlier this year. One person said: 'That's a great photo. Did Katy Perry take it?' Another added, 'Where's Katy Perry?' The former prime minister is no stranger to taking luxurious vacations, having spent Christmas 2023 at a Jamaican retreat that cost $63,000 for the family's nine-day stay. At the time, Trudeau told critics, 'Like a lot of Canadian families, we spent the Christmas holidays with friends. All the rules were followed.'
