Prince William most-popular Twitter moment in 2021 REVEALED
Prince William’s anti-racist stance on Twitter earlier this year proved to be his most popular moment online
Prince William’s anti-racist stance on Twitter earlier this year proved to be his most popular moment on the micro-blogging website, reported People.
William’s tweet condemning ‘racist abuse’ against English football players in the wake of their loss against Italy in the Euro 2020 final garnered the most likes on the Kensington Royal Twitter page in 2021.
The said tweet came from Prince William, President of the Football Association, in July after Team England players Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, and Jadon Sancho were targeted online for missing crucial penalty kicks that apparently cost England the final.
“I am sickened by the racist abuse aimed at England players after last night's match. It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour. It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable,” read the tweet.
The tweet, which garnered 108,000+ likes, was signed off with a ‘W’ to signify that it was a personal message from William himself and did not come from Kensington Palace.
Meanwhile, the Queen’s most popular tweet on the @RoyalFamily account proved to be the announcement of Prince Philip’s death in April, which amassed over 581,000 likes.
