You're free to think the contrary, but if you're in official and diplomatic status, especially one with a level of privilege and disgusting history as the monarchy, maybe you shouldn't be making racist comments/jokes to schoolchildren, foreign presidents, and especially maybe not mock the same people your family murdered and repressed as being primitive (aboriginals). Methinks the jokes would also be less awful if his family didn't have a history of genocide that he very outwardly benefitted from until his unfortunate passing.

What can you possibly hope to achieve by telling people that their morally obliged and heartfelt defence of an innocent man is irrefutable proof that they are playing into a culture war? Will they suddenly abandon their views? Of course not.

I'm personally gonna be really hesitant to view anyone who actively participates in one of the vilest institutions in world history as "innocent", but go off. I'm not saying people should celebrate his death, but I'm not going to go out of my way to defend him, nor will I not argue against inaccurately positive portrayals of him.
