A US TV host has apologised for an"insensitive comment" made about Prince George taking ballet lessons.
Lara Spencer, who co-anchors ABC's Good Morning America, made the remark as she presented a segment about the six-year-old's royal school classes, which include maths, science, history, religious studies, poetry and ballet."Oh, he looks so happy about the ballet class," Ms Spencer said, as images of George appeared on screen and several members of the studio audience laughed.
She told how the Duke of Cambridge has said his son"absolutely loves ballet" and then joked:"I have news for you, Prince William: We'll see how long that lasts." Her comments about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's eldest child have been labelled by some as"bullying".Choreographer Brian Friedman, who has worked with stars including Britney Spears and Beyonce, called for the presenter to apologise to the young royal.
He wrote in an Instagram post:"Growing up as a dancer I was bullied horribly which is exactly what this is.
There are enough news in the to be told so the media should leave private lifes and focus on saving the world from real dangers
Ballet is one of the most difficult activity a boy can take up. It takes strength, agility, balance and a sense of rhythm. Not for whimps
Lol
Wow did you know that athletes take ballet for better balance and to help with agility! Not right to mock someone for taking ballet and especially a child!
Bullying my arse! I doubt if the Royals even give a shit about her comments. As well as taking ballet, young George will certainly be raised to be more resilient than the snowflakes on here, crying outrage on his behalf.
Why, people can be critical xanr they especially when it costs us the great unwashed 50k a year for his schooling, nice to see they took easy jet though
A lot more stranger things are going on with the royals ..... ahem Prince Andrew 🤭
❄️ ❄️
Leave him alone, he'll soon be having to decide his gender.........🤔🙄
So pointing out that he looks happy over doing ballet, is now bullying. All aboard the outrage bandwagon. Next stop Offensville
She should be sacked way out of order
She should be fired. There is no space in modern society for this kind of backward thinking
Another silly American
How unkind of her. This is bullying, no doubt. 😠
Seems a necessity. No swording?
So they should.
So they bloody should !! 🤬
