During a Good Morning America segment, the subject of young Prince George starting prep school came up, and co-host Lara Spencer gleefully announced that — among many other pursuits — George would be taking ballet classes. While smirking, Spencer added, "Prince William said Prince George absolutely loves ballet . . . I have news for you, Prince William — we'll see how long that lasts." Naturally, many viewers (especially those in the male dance community) were incensed by the sarcastic comment.
In response to the backlash (and the incredible 300-person flashmob that gathered in Times Square in protest), Spencer took to Instagram to issue a statement. Alongside a picture of lilacs sprouting with a mountain range in the background, Spencer wrote, "My sincere apologies for an insensitive comment I made in pop news yesterday. From ballet to anything one wants to explore in life, I say GO FOR IT. I fully believe we should all be free to pursue our passions. Go climb your mountain — and love every minute of it."
