Princess Charlotte’s 6th Birthday Celebration Amidst Social Media Boycott

Princess Charlotte, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is set to celebrate her sixth birthday on Sunday.

Typically, the royal couple's communications teams would share a photo to commemorate the occasion, usually on the eve of her birthday.

However, this year, royal enthusiasts may not see such a post as Prince William, in his role as President of the Football Association, has announced his participation in a weekend-long social media boycott to combat racism and online abuse.

“As President of the FA, I join the entire football community in the social media boycott this weekend,” he tweeted.

The world of sports initiated a four-day blackout on their social media platforms starting Friday afternoon, with numerous players, clubs, and broadcasters uniting to denounce online abuse.

Consequently, followers of the royal family should not anticipate any birthday-related content on the Cambridge's official Twitter and Instagram accounts during this period.

Kensington Palace traditionally acknowledges royal birthdays and special events with posts on social media, similar to the celebration of Prince Louis' birthday on April 23rd.

In a surprising move on Thursday, Prince William and Kate delighted fans by sharing a never-before-seen home video created by filmmaker Wawa.

The video was released in honor of their 10th wedding anniversary, accompanied by a caption expressing gratitude for the support received over the past decade as a family.

This gesture marked a departure from their usual practice of sharing such personal moments on social media.

Earlier in January, Prince William took a stand against racism by posting an anti-racist message on Twitter following instances of football players being subjected to racial abuse online after matches.

Players like Rhys James from Chelsea, Romain Sawyers from West Bromwich Albion, and Axel Twanzebe, Anthony Martial, and Marcus Rashford from Manchester United were among those targeted with abusive messages.

In a series of strongly worded tweets, the Duke condemned racist behavior on and off the field, emphasizing the need for collective action to combat such despicable acts.

The Duke's message underscored the importance of creating a supportive environment where hate and division have no place, urging accountability for those perpetrating such abuses.
