Last week, Good Morning America anchor Lara Spencer was criticised after she mocked Prince George’s school curriculum, directly laughing at the fact he is taking ballet. Spencer claimed Prince William had shared, “Prince George absolutely loves ballet,” to which she responded, “I have news for you Prince William, we’ll see how long that lasts.”

After the comments were made, Spencer began receiving major backlash and has since apologised twice. On her Instagram account, 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.”
Spencer also made a statement on air Monday morning. “I screwed up. I did,” she said. “It was stupid and I am deeply sorry. I’ve spoken with several members of the dance community over the past few days.”
She added, “For me the lesson is that words hurt, and it was not my intention, but it was insensitive and I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to apologize personally to you and for you guys coming in here to talk to me and to educate me and, again, I’m really sorry.”
