Prince William appears to have put his foot in his mouth once again
Photo: Jane Barlow/WPA Pool/Getty Images Prince William, who has given us such classic hits as “we are very much not a racist family” and typing on a typewriter like this, appears to have put his foot in his mouth once again.
“Everyone is horrified by what they are seeing. The news every day, it’s almost unfathomable,” he said, as captured on video and according to the Independent. “For our generation, it’s very alien to see this in Europe.” I suppose war is alien in Europe if you don’t count the Troubles in Northern Ireland that spanned from 1968 until 1998. And the Yugoslav wars during the 1990s. And the annexation of Crimea in 2014. And, as multiple people have pointed out on Twitter, the royal family’s own history of colonialism and the violence that comes along with it.
