Prince George Dubbed ‘F*****g D******d’ With ‘White Privilege’ By British Council Boss
At all of three years of age, Britain’s Prince George has been hit by a nasty rant on Facebook by an employee of a British government-supported organization. Including other things, the royal tot is accused of “white privilege,” “living on public money,” and being a “f*****g d******d.”
Prince George turned three last Friday, and he is not having an easy time of it. Recently, and as reported on The Inquisitr, there was an uproar over the fact that the young prince had given the family pet, Lupo, some ice cream, after cute photos of Prince George and his pet surfaced online.

Now it seems things have become a whole load more serious, with the young royal getting trolled on Facebook.
While the posts do appear to have been removed from her Facebook timeline, Angela Theresa Gibbins, 52, manager of global estates at the British Council reportedly made a comment under an image of Prince George.
The comment read: “White privilege. That cheeky grin is the innate knowledge he’s royal, rich, advantaged and will never know *any* difficulties or hardships in life. Let’s find photos of 3yo Syrian children and see if they look alike, eh?”
The image on the Facebook post was a photo of Prince George, used on a recent stamp to commemorate the Queen’s 90th birthday. Under that image, Gibbins also made the statement: “I know he’s only two years old, but Prince George already looks like a f*****g d******d.”

According to the Sun – whose website has images of the various posts made during the rant – Gibbins is a senior employee at the British Council, an organization that receives almost $210 million of public money per year to promote British language and culture in over 100 countries and whose patron is Queen Elizabeth II.

Gibbins was immediately criticized on Facebook for attacking the royal tot with hate speech, and one comment by Lisa George said: “You are a total idiot Angela, to look at the picture of a child and be filled with nothing but hatred for them. You are a disgrace to humanity.”
Gibbins responded by saying: “I have a multi-faceted political opinion. That’s not hate, and I hate no human being on this planet as an individual.”
“But I do disagree with the system that creates privilege of any sort. And I have a dedication to calling that out for what it is.”
Gibbins went on to respond to yet another critic, saying, “I’m sound in my socialist, atheist and republican opinions. I don’t believe the royal family have any place in a modern democracy, least of all when they live on public money. That’s privilege and it needs to end.”

Looking at Gibbin’s Twitter account, her tweets are protected, but she describes herself as “Director of property globally for the British Council. Personal capacity tweets only here: socialist politics, human rights, allotments, E17.” It seems you have to apply to follow her to see those “personal capacity tweets.”
The Daily Beast contacted a spokesperson for the British Council, who informed them Gibbins will now face a disciplinary procedure for her rant against Prince George and that the council is “looking into what actually happened.”
The British Council said in an official press statement: “The British Council expects the highest standards of our staff and in accordance with our code of conduct we have started disciplinary procedures with the individual concerned.”
“This comment was made on a private social media account. It has absolutely no connection to the British Council and does not represent our views and values.”
