In response to the official Palace announcement that the Duke had ‘passed away peacefully’, writer Karen Geier, who proudly boasts of her work for the Left-wing newspaper on her Twitter biography, sneered: ‘Deeply saddened to hear it was peaceful. He deserved so much more (pain).’The tweet went viral, and last night had attracted almost 17,000 ‘likes’ and 2,300 retweets. Guardian writer Karen Geier, pictured, was widely criticised on Twitter after she was saddened to hear that the Duke of Edinburgh 'had died peacefully' telling critics they should get a life. A spokesman said: ‘Karen Geier is not a Guardian writer – she wrote one article for us five years ago. We are seeking to get the comments removed as soon as possible.’ However, last night the tweet remained on the site.
