Young Royals star Edvin Ryding has clapped back on social media to ask people to “stop making comments” on his appearance.

On Monday (30 October), Ryding confronted the unnecessary backlash and requested people to refrain from commenting on his aesthetic. “Hello, I’d like to kindly ask you to stop making comments on my physical appearance. It’s making me uncomfortable. Thank you,” he wrote over Twitter/X.
The post has been met with swathes of support with many people condemning the initial unwarranted backlash, with many left questioning “how can people be so mean?” In light of the tweet, fans flocked back to the original post to praise the actor for “speaking up” and to “never change”.
