Graduate students' decision to take down the photo of Queen Elizabeth drew outrage from some and cries of 'cancel culture.'

. “A few years ago, in about 2013, they bought a print of a photo of the Queen to decorate their common room.”

“Maybe they’ll vote to put it up again, maybe they won’t. Meanwhile, the photo will be safely stored.”The British royal family has faced renewed reports of racism since early this year.“If you are one of the people currently sending obscene and threatening messages to the College staff, you might consider pausing, and asking yourself whether that is really the best way to show your respect for the Queen,” she said.

Buckingham Palace had no comment for HuffPost on Wednesday. Oxford University and Magdalen College did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Education Secretary Gavin Williamson called the removal of the portrait “simply absurd.”
