William must bear the boos and prepare his family to face its history

At the weekend Prince William was booed by the crowd at the FA Cup final at Wembley. The jeering started when the Duke of Cambridge, who is the president of the Football Association, was introduced to fans and continued as he moved down to the pitch where he met and shook hands with players. 

As expected, Twitter lit up with those who thought the idea of booing the future king was akin to treason. I kid you not, some people have asked for a ban on those fans who booed William, and others have used this as an opportunity to label the incident as a sign that the people of the UK want to get rid of the monarchy.
