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.'

"People see Pocahontas or The New World or The Last of the Mohicans and then they dress up as Native Americans with those characters in mind. If they don't know the history here it's no different than somebody dressing up like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty."


Which country are you from?

Born and raised in NYC, moved to Philadelphia a few years ago. But I spent a few semesters studying abroad and a few years traveling and working in different countries.
