UK charity reveals Prince Harry was trolled for appearing in latest video
Help for Heroes, a British charity that provides lifelong recovery assistance to service personnel of the British Armed Forces injured or injured in the line of duty, revealed that it faced trolling over a video featuring Prince Harry.
Prince Harry surprised Invictus Games team GB at their final training camp on Wednesday. Prince, who lives in California, showed his support for the team representing the United Kingdom.
The charity posted the video of the Duke to Twitter on April 6.
In response, hundreds of trolls targeted Prince Harry, prompting the charity to respond on April 8.
"We believe Twitter encourages open and free speech. This tweet was meant to celebrate a special moment for Team UK, however there are some comments spoiling it."
The official account of "Help for Heroes" states, "As the owner of the account we have the right to restrict or remove replies, especially if the comments run the risk of upsetting our veterans. We ask you to think so." Lets say what you are commenting and it can have an effect on those who read it.
Without mentioning Harry, the statement said, "We acknowledge that many of you will have different opinions and would like to share them - we welcome it. But we do not aim at our team for offensive, trolling comments." Or will not accept comments. This is not what the tweet is about."
We recognise that Twitter encourages open & free speech. This tweet was to celebrate a moment special to Team UK, however there are some comments that are spoiling this.
