Monaco princess Charlotte Casiraghi branded 'ignorant' over Native American costume

Charlotte Casiraghi has become the latest public figure to spark anger for wearing a Native American costume.

The Monaco royal, 26, who chose the ensemble to participate in the Gucci-sponsored Paris Masters International Jumping Competition this weekend, was branded 'ignorant' and 'racist' by Tumblr users, many of whom appeared to be royal fans, judging by their usernames.

Royalwatcher wrote on the site: 'I don’t know who told her it was cute to dress in traditonal clothing of Native American but gurlll, I’m judging you and not in the good way.'

Yup, and tbh I don't personally see nothing wrong with it. Same thing with dressing up as indian for halloween / costume parties

I haven't read about it,tbh, I'm sure that's why my opinion hasn't changed. I never once thought it would be considerate offensive until I joined ONTD and got more in touch with American culture. As I said above, it's not considerable offensive or racist in other countries, so I never really had put much thought into it.
Obviously is something I need to get educate about

Cultural appropriation isn't acceptable anywhere in the world. It's only recently that people have started getting heard.

I myself have only gotten my head around this in recent years and after doing extensive research on my own, so I totally understand where you're coming from :)
