Vicky Pattison has hit out at her unpatriotic fans who have shown the Royal family 'disrespect' following the death of Her Majesty The Queen on Thursday.
The former Geordie Shore star, 34, took to her Instagram account to blast those who have made little of Queen Elizabeth's sad passing, urging those who have mocked the Royal family to 'grow up'.
The reality TV star said some people had 'forgotten how to behave' following Thursday's sad news.
Alongside a lengthy caption, Vicky shared a series of images of the Royal family including King Charles III, the late Queen and two pictures of the King and Queen consort Camilla.
"I'm just going to leave this here because I feel like over the last couple of days some people on social media have forgotten how to behave," Vicky penned.
"You might not be British, or a royalist, or particularly patriotic.. But before the queen was absolutely anything else, she was a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother, and I can't believe people don't think she deserves our respect.
"And furthermore, regardless of your feelings about Charles, whatever they may be - he is still a man who lost his mother and is now not only expected to take on the biggest role of his life he's also expected to step into her massive shoes - all within a year of losing his father??
"Queen Elizabeth is all most of us have ever known, and I think without any of us truly being aware, in a world that brought us so much uncertainty and chaos her stoic resilience and unwavering bravery provided us with something constant and that brought us comfort- now that she is gone we feel scared and anxious about what lies ahead- for the commonwealth, Great Britain and everything she made people have faith in."
Vicky continued: "Instead of allowing that fear to breed, throw your respect and your faith behind this man - who despite losing his mother yesterday got up and did his job today and delivered an impassioned and sensitive speech today.
"Because I haven't done anything remotely that difficult or impressive in my life and leaves me thinking: have the people who are criticising him??!"
"Above all else grow up. Keep your sentiments dignified and respectful. These people are human beings and regardless of their status deserve your condolences and kindness at this time.
"And as far as I'm concerned... Long Live the King."
Vicky's post was met with much admiration from her fans who praised her for sharing the powerful message.
"Well said," one chimed, while another echoed: "Couldn't have put it better myself. Some people are so bitter."
"Love this Vicky, you're so right in everything you're saying here," someone else added.
While another complained: "The Queen would be highly disgusted with some people's attitude after her death. May she rest in peace."
