But the post only allows Twitter users to reply that are either followed by the Clarence House Twitter account or mentioned in the original tweet.

One furious troll tweeted: “The true princess of wales, always Diana, Camilla, the eternal lover. The greatness of Diana will be eternal, no one will be able to take her place. Charles of England will never be King and neither deserves it. Diana Princess of Wales will live forever.”

And another troll ranted: “Hope Lady Diana, PEOPLE’S PRINCESS is in a happier place, cause you guys sure made her life hell on earth. Shame.”
