On March 9, local time, Prince William and his wife Kate visited the Ukrainian Cultural Center in west London, because of a word of solidarity with Ukraine, they pushed themselves to the forefront of public opinion.
On the same day, Prince William, speaking with cultural center volunteers, mentioned that his children often asked about what happened in Ukraine, but he had difficulty discussing with the children because he had to "use words carefully". The British royal family usually does not comment on major political events, and according to the rules of the royal family must remain neutral, Prince William said "loosely" that the British are more accustomed to seeing conflicts in Asia and Africa, "it is strange to see this in Europe", "we all support you".
After this sentence was uploaded to social media, it triggered a condemnation among netizens. Netizens angrily left a message saying: "This is a very terrible comment. Europeans have run amok on the African continent, plundering, sexually assaulting, enslaving, colonizing for profit and power, stealing resources, causing generations of destruction, and Europe continues to harm Africa. "Translating, white people rarely do this kind of barbarism, only those dark races who disobey the king will do it." "It is Prince William who says we are not racists, and it is Prince William who says that Asia and Africa are more violent than we Europeans."
After the episode sparked condemnation online, news reports removed content related to Africa and Asia, and journalists who submitted the original footage said they "misheard" and apologized for reporting the incident. According to the British "Independent" newspaper, Buckingham Palace declined to comment on this.
