Yeah, the visit of the Cambridges to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre went down really well, especially William?s remarks regarding conflicts in Europe vs Asia and Africa in recent times. Apparently he has never heard of the Bosnian conflict or the Hungarian uprising or the Prague Spring, let alone a civil war that raged in Greece straight after the war.

?Whew, Prince William?s racist comments at a Ukrainian center were a two-day story. It might even be a 72 hour story. Even Keenshot didn?t get this much ink!! People are still putting the pieces together of exactly what happened, but here?s what everyone knows now: Richard Palmer of the Daily Express was the pool reporter at Wednesday?s event at the Ukrainian center. Palmer reported William?s comments this way: ?He said Britons were more used to seeing conflict in Africa and Asia. ?It?s very alien to see this in Europe. We are all behind you,? he said. But he added that he, like many, wanted to do more to help. ?We feel so useless,? he said.? William got absolutely roasted as a racist throughout the day and evening Wednesday, and throughout Thursday, #PrinceWilliamIsARacist was still trending on Twitter.

On Thursday, an ITV journalist posted her video from the event, in which William is overheard saying: ?Everyone is horrified by what they are seeing. The news every day, it?s almost unfathomable. For our generation, it?s very alien to see this in Europe. We?re all right behind you.? Within that one statement, he did not reference Asia or Africa, but he absolutely said ?For our generation, it?s very alien to see this in Europe,? which is ahistorical bullsh-t.
Palmer then went to the Press Association and asked them to change his pool reporting, and Palmer offered this passive-voiced explanation on his Twitter: ?He doesn?t appear to have compared it to conflicts in Africa and Asia. In the chaos, a remark he made was misheard, starting a social media storm. Apologies for reporting that online.? The ?social media storm? is an understatement, as other royal reporters attacked other journalists for reporting Palmer?s words. It was all a huge mess.

ITV was the only television media there. William never mentioned Africa or Asia in his comments, and in fact Nevers mentions 'war'.

He said this sort of thing was alien to his generation. And it is. Even Scobie had to delete his tweet. This Tweet from The Telegraph sums it up for me:

Spare me the quasi-intellectual hand-wringing about Prince William. He said, off the cuff, "for our generation [he's 39] it's alien to see this in Europe. We're all right behind you. We're thinking about you." Struggling to imagine a more innocuous comment.

Except William didn't say anything 'racist'.

Every news outlet from CNN to the Daily Mail printed a correction.

Richard Palmer's working days are counted.   Terrible mistakes happen at the job, HHRR measures it with President and Director of the Dept where RP works. Usually a big mistake like this, fired.

Except it isnt and hasn5 been ?alien in Europe? in William?s generation. William has even lived through conflict on the continent in his lifetime ? including the Kosovo War from 1998 to 1999, and the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014.
