Former World No. 1 Martina Navratilova has joined in wishing good health for the British monarch King Charles III. As per the official communication from Buckingham Palace, he has been diagnosed with cancer during his routine procedure.
As a result of it, he has canceled all his public duties for some time to receive treatment. Following the announcement quickly going viral, many wishes were sent to the King for his battle with the disease. Global dignitaries and heads of State also sent their prayers across for his good health.
Amid this, a certain faction of internet users used the opportunity to mock the monarch. They made fun of him being diagnosed with cancer with ugly humor taking place.
A few of the tweets mocking King Charles after his cancer diagnosis:
Many found this distasteful and one of them was Navratilova. Having survived cancer twice, throat cancer in 2023 and breast cancer in 2010 and 2023, the American was surprised at the lack of compassion of internet users. She expressed her disappointment by taking to her Twitter account.
This place has become so toxic, it's just sad.Tweeted Navratilova.
Netizens join Martina Navratilova in criticizing the trolls of King Charles III
King Charles III has been in the public light for all his life. Being the heir to the British throne ever since his birth, he has always been in the spotlight. His marriage with Princess Diana, their eventual divorce, and the demise of Diana just increased the attention on him.
The conspiracies around Diana’s death have the world divided on their opinion of Charles. But irrespective of anyone’s personal opinion on monarchy or the King, making fun of someone’s illness isn’t funny. Joining Navratilova, many others teamed up to call out this inhumane behavior.
Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
