The photos, which showed the couple dancing and stumbling into a car, quickly went viral and received over 4 million views. Some people on social media were quick to point out the double standard, suggesting that if the same thing had happened to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the reaction would have been much more negative.
Despite the criticism, some people defended the couple, saying that it was normal for young people to party and let loose. However, others trolled the couple heavily and made inappropriate comments about their behavior.
Today, Prince William and Kate Middleton are facing bigger challenges as they navigate their roles as leading figures in the monarchy during a time of increasing anti-royal sentiment.
