The official Twitter page for Clarence House has disabled their comments section amid mounting trolling from fans of The Crown, reported Hindustan Times.
The page had been set up to help Prince Charles and his wife Camilla connect with their fans. However, it has been getting waves after waves of hate comments and trolling since the premiere of the fourth season of Netflix’s show. The new season, set in the 1980s, shows how Charles cheated on the late Princess Diana with Camilla and ignored her mental health issues. Now, older, irate fans the People’s Princess and a new, younger batch of millennial fans of the show have come together to attack the couple with snarky memes and rude jokes.
Seeing the excessive trolling, the social media team seems to have decided to limit the commenting powers to only those accounts followed by Clarence House. However, this hasn’t stopped people from ‘quote tweeting’ their posts and letting their opinions be known. “Your behaviour toward Princess Diana is disgusting. You both have Princess Diana’s blood on your hands and are responsible for her demise. Murderers,” read a comment. “Turn on the replies you, abusive coward,” read another comment.
Others fans of Charles and Camilla are showing their support regardless. Sharing a video of the Duchess speaking about domestic abuse, one wrote, “Thank you YRH for all the work you have done and continue to do to bring awareness to domestic abuse.” Another comment read, “I love Camilla. She is an asset to the Royal family. This domestic violence awareness is very worthwhile. Hope it gets plenty of exposure.”
The new season of The Crown has been a massive hit, opening a Royal can of worms once again. It delves into the love triangle between Diana (Emma Corrin), Charles (Josh O’Connor) and Camilla (Emerald Fennell). A fictionalised retelling of lives of the British Royal family members, it has also been targeted for cherry-picking and mixing fact and fiction.
The season was also Olivia Colman’s final appearance as Queen Elizabeth, who will now pass the baton to Imelda Staunton for season five and six. The new season will feature Elizabeth Debiki as the new Princess Diana.
