Prince George has received a lot of criticism and insults online because of his outfit in the Euro 2020 final. Kate Middleton and Prince William were quick to take drastic measures to protect him.
At only 7 years old, Prince George is already the victim of a surge of hate on social networks. In question ?

Unfortunately, this is something that a good number of Internet users find difficult to understand. On the web, some have indeed strongly criticized and insulted Prince George, deeming his outfit too strict, reports the Daily Mail. “He looks like a banker in a child’s body”, “You look like a jerk”, “Go on, cry and blow your nose in your tie”, in particular wrote some detractors. Worse, others have outright invited all Internet users to “Brutalize” on social networks. Many seem to forget that this is just a child.
Cyberbullying is a very serious phenomenon which can have disastrous consequences. Public figure or not, it is important to respect others. Faced with this violence on social networks, Kate Middleton and Prince William would have immediately reacted, as explained by the writer and royal expert Robert Jobson, on the Australian show Sunrise. They plan to keep the little boy out of sight for an indefinite period. The goal is to protect it as much as possible from line attacks and paparazzi. A radical decision, but full of meaning when you see the comments. It is nevertheless a shame to have to get there because of the hatred of some.
