Lily Allen trolled for joking about Diana memes

After Lily Allen's emoji at the Princess Diana meme involving Prince Philip, trolls came at the singer slamming her with comments like "You beg for trolls. You should understand though the difference between a troll and someone criticising you", and another says, "Perhaps a kinder response would be fitting considering an actual human has died. Perhaps that’s asking too much  
your comment Ona death isn’t kind....in my humble opinion." On Lily's other status where she wrote, "oh, Prince Phillip has died.", a user commented, "Oh, your career has died," to which Allen quipped, "really, because i’m still getting paid, regularly!"

While some found Lily Allen's tweets 'disrespectful,' a few of users also commented pouring support for the singer and opining a different take.  A user wrote, "There’s got to be a reason why talking about how deeply slavery is embedded in Britain’s legacy rattles so many people. Has anyone done a study? I’d read it for comedic purposes." Lily Allen replied, "because people want to believe that their families riches were earned and that their ancestors were brave and valliant, they don’t want to confront the fact that they were in-fact evil cowards." Another user urged the singer saying, "Waiting for @lilyallen to release a dis track to the government :)" to which Lily said, "honestly this government isn’t even worth my time."

Lily Allen, 35, known for her bold and powerful lyrics last released an album 'No Shame' in 2018 which debuted at number eight on the UK Albums chart making it one of her most successful musical projects. She also released her autobiographical book 'My Thoughts Exactly' the same year where she talks about "feminism, the tabloids, money, faking orgasms, bad managers, fame, sexual abuse, mental health, narcissism, co-dependency, festivals, motherhood, stalking and parking tickets." The book garnered positive reviews across the country where readers lauded her courage for speaking her truth regarding sexual assault and how she was taken advantage of by men in the music industry.
