Prince William was accused of "horrific comments" by Martin Luther King's daughter in the aftermath of a Ukrainian community event where he was partially misquoted.
Bernice King linked the Duke of Cambridge's remarks to colonialism after William and Kate Middleton visited the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London to support the relief effort on March 9.
Footage from the event showed Prince William said: "Everyone is horrified by what they are seeing. The news every day, it's almost unfathomable to actually witness it, to see it. For our generation, it's very alien to see this in Europe. We're all right behind you."
The Press Association originally reported William also suggested Britons were more used to seeing conflict in Africa and Asia—though footage released by ITV of the royal's full comments suggested he in fact made no explicit reference to the two continents.
However, some maintained their criticism of the duke based on the reference to war in Europe feeling "very alien."

Mlk’s daughter is likely a commie loving socalist like he was.
The Left heard words he didn’t say. When his actual remarks were made public, they doubled down. The Prince said nothing wrong.
Poor William. He’s the best one in the family, and now someone is going after him. Jeeze. Is anyone safe any more?
Martin Luther King’s daughter has no moral credibility. Milking the MLK myth for all it is worth for many years is an unethical activity. MLK and Malcolm X had a few good things to so but nothing worth reading 100 years from now.
People are usually more interested in what is happening in their own neighborhood than in what is going on somewhere else. He is right about Europe being generally peaceful since 1945, with the exception of a certain country’s invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia. As horrible as wars in other places may be, they have most often not been in places where major military powers are face to face. It’s like that saying about knowing you are going to be executed focuses your attention.
MLK’s daughter is free to raise the world’s consciousness about these other conflicts. She is also free to try to stop Africans from killing Africans, and Asaians from killing Asaians.
Well....other than Yugoslavia there haven’t been wars in Europe since WWII. Compared lots of other parts of the world it has been relatively peaceful over the last 75 years.
It is interesting how people forget how we bombed Yugoslavia....They had quite the war there.

Well, there was also a civil war in Greece in the years just after World War II.
All he said was: "For our generation, it's very alien to see this in Europe."
He said "for our generation," referring to his lifetime.
He spoke of a continent (Europe). People of many different ethnic backgrounds live in Europe.
Wow. MLK will be read, if people are still around, in 100 years. He was a giant.
Oh, yes. I cringe at leaving that that one out since my wife is Serbian. Thanks for the reminder. My excuse will be that it’s late and I had a senior moment.
They did not forget. T5hey just do not give a damn. We [the U.S.A.F. bombed the Serb houses. We bombed their hospitals. We bombed their radio stations. We bombed their buses loaded with people on their bridges. We bombed their bridges. We bombed to our heart’s content. We bombed until Bill Clinton, the People’s choice said stop.
What I was going to post.
Monumental levels of stupidity that continues to reach new frontiers.
Leftists are literally insane.
Absolutely.
The Left is messed up.
Clinton bombed until they took his penis off the front pages.
We are dealing with people who have pretty rigid and cognitively inflexible brains that have difficulty managing complexity when flooded with emotions like self righteous and indignation.
They need to be ignored.
