On Twitter, critics of the Royal Family voiced their anger, emphasizing that an innocent woman’s life had been unjustly taken. They insisted on the need for accountability and reforms, asserting that Sophie’s (Duchess of Edinburgh)  status should not outweigh the importance of Helen’s life.

Where had Sophie come from? Why did she have a motorcade? Why was it speeding?
An innocent woman's life has been taken unjustifiably. There must be consequences & changes. Sophie is *not* more important than Helen. #HelenHolland #SophieSmash #questionthemonarchy #WeALLareEqual
