Prince Charles’ ‘royal blunder’ with ‘derogatory’ moment on family ski holiday

Prince Charles^[1] has been known to hit the ski slopes frequently since he learned to ski aged just 13. As a tradition, when Prince William^[2] and Prince Harry^[3] were growing up, he would take them on an annual winter holiday.

“He had gone out for a short break with William and Harry.

“The usual way these things work is that on the first day the Prince and his sons will provide a photo call and then in return the media behaves itself and lets them have a holiday without disturbing them and without trailing them all over the mountains.

“His staff and said he would take some questions and one of the journalists there that day asked about his upcoming wedding.”

In documentary footage, the journalist in question asked Prince Charles: “Prince Charles, how are you feeling?”

He said: “Unfortunately sometimes the royals forget where they are and forget that everything they do and everything they say is recorded.

“On the ski slops with Prince William and Prince Harry, Prince Charles was caught saying something very derogatory.”

Mr Kay added: “The Prince was portrayed as a rather cross and petty man complaining about the media.

“Although he is rather tolerant of it all, he has had it all of his life but I think this was one occasion too many.”
