The youngest child of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and the CEO of Martin Luther King Jr. Centre for Nonviolent Social Change condemned the British Royal’s comments. “Horrific comment. European people ran roughshod over the continent of Africa, pillaging communities, raping women, enslaving human beings, colonizing for profit and power, stealing resources, causing generational devastation. And European nations continue to harm Africa,” King said in a tweet.
In India, several Twitter users pointed out that British rule in India and the onset of colonialism looted India and dented its growth for more than two millennia. They also pointed out that European colonialism could be held responsible for much of the problems the world currently faces.

Prince William’s own mother visited Bosnia in 1997, shortly before her death. Are you telling me he wasn’t aware of the war and genocide that was raging on at that time? pic.twitter.com/ZLIJlP9cxm— MD (@MarkleDuchess) March 9, 2022
Prince William’s comments were also uninformed as the Kosovo War from 1998 to 1999, and the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014 occurred in Europe.
