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.

As far as I know, it's not a specifically-disallowed thing as much as it's a widely-understood just-not-done thing, if that makes sense. In the past, war bonnets were only worn by men because only men could hold the positions that would merit one - chief, warrior, etc. Today, when women can do those things, it's mostly a matter of tradition/efforts to preserve tribal culture that they're often discouraged or disallowed from wearing one. Like I said above, though, I've heard of female NA veterans who have been allowed to wear war bonnets just like male ones would.
