Sophie Turner accused of “mocking” Princess Charlotte in new series

Orlando Bloom is being called out too.

Sophie Turner is facing a little bit of backlash after her latest TV series is sparking a lot of opinions online.

The Game of Thrones actress is currently voicing Princess Charlotte in HBO’s new series The Prince, a satirical animated series about Prince George.

Gary Janetti created the series after he consistently jokes about George’s reactions to certain things, and making him into a meme on Instagram.

And as Sophie jumped on board for the series that takes a dig at the three of William and Kate’s children, George (8), Charlotte (6) and Louis (3), many are calling her a hypocrite.

Sophie is being called out for making fun of a child on TV despite her asking for her child not to be forced into the spotlight and to maintain her privacy.

Orlando Bloom, who voices Prince Harry in the series, is also being called out for his involvement, citing the same thing when it comes to the privacy he wants for his children.

The actress shares her daughter Willa with husband Joe Jonas, welcoming her last summer, and has consistently hit out at those for taking pictures of her.

She said on Instagram in May: “She is my daughter. She did not ask for this life, to be photographed. It’s f***ing creepy.

“I’m respectfully asking everyone to stop following us around and stop trying to take pictures of our daughter and especially printing them. It’s disgusting. You do not have my permission.

“The reason that I am not posting pictures of my daughter and making sure that we can avoid paparazzi at all costs is because I explicitly do not want those photos out there…She did not ask for this life, to be photographed. It’s disgusting.”

And due to her stance on her own child’s privacy, many are surprised she is willingly taking part in this show, questioning how she truly feels about the issue.

One person on Twitter said: “Sophie Turner on her own daughter: she did not ask for this life.

“Sophie Turner on Prince williams daughter: it’s free game.”

Another added: “Especially sad to see Sophie Turner and Orlando Bloom who have publicly discussed issues of privacy surrounding their own children partake in this series.”

A third said: “Sophie Turner wants privacy for her child but has 0 care about the kids being mocked here?

“Orlando Bloom stays in touch w his “friend” Harry to warn him abt privacy threats, while being ok voicing him on a satire abt his family?

“So tired of celebs, Hollywood & their hypocrisy.”
