I disagree, the person who is the recipetent of the remark is surely the one who should judge if the remark was offensive, and so far we dont seem to have heard from him.
The Press do need to create stories, and this one certainly seems to have done what it was intended to do, and cause controversy.
All the Royals do need to remember that they are constantly in the public eye - the younger ones and a certain old one do tend to forget that alarmingly often.
