In a recent incident, Prince Harry has come under fire for his condescending remarks about rural people and their ability to understand social media.
The arrogant prince displayed his ignorance and belittled the intelligence of those living in remote areas.
This incident occurred during a mental health event in New York, where Harry made derogatory assumptions about a chicken farmer named Ryan.
Harry’s assumption that individuals living in rural areas lack the knowledge to navigate social media is not only embarrassing but also completely unfounded.
Ryan, a chicken farmer residing in a remote location, proves this assumption wrong.
Despite his occupation and location, Ryan has access to social media and is well-versed in its usage.
Harry’s ignorance is evident as he fails to acknowledge that even individuals in remote areas can utilize technology effectively.
It is worth noting that chicken farming is a lucrative business, and Ryan’s choice of footwear, ostrich boots, speaks volumes about his success.
In contrast, Harry’s assumption that rural living equates to lower intelligence is baseless and reflects his elitist mindset.
Perhaps Harry should visit farms in California, where farmers with master’s degrees effectively use technology and social media to manage and grow their crops.
During the Archwell Parents Summit, where Harry was speaking, he made disparaging comments about Ryan, labeling him as someone who could not possibly know about social media due to his background.
The Sussexes’ participation in the event was announced as a last-minute addition, raising questions about their motives.
Additionally, the media highlighted the presence of an extensive security detail, despite there being only a handful of paparazzi chasing them.
Furthermore, the Sussexes’ appearance at the Project Healthy Minds event seemed more like a networking opportunity for them to have their photos taken.
By essentially purchasing their way onto the stage, they were able to deliver a speech that some found to be a repetition of familiar ideas.
This raises concerns about the authenticity and originality of their message.
In reality, Ryan operates a family poultry farm in Maryland, where he annually produces hundreds of thousands of broilers and tends to his crops.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in general agriculture, surpassing Harry’s level of education.
It is clear that Harry’s assumption about rural living and intelligence has drawn embarrassment from those who know better.
He fails to understand that internet access allows individuals from any location to access information and engage in online work.
In fact, Ryan likely possesses more practical and business knowledge, as well as potentially more financial assets, than Harry.
This derogatory attitude towards the working class represents a significant departure from Harry’s previous character, and Meghan’s laughter during his offensive remark further damages their public image.
Social media users have been quick to criticize Harry’s remarks.
One Twitter user pointed out that the internet is accessible to anyone, regardless of their location, and people in remote areas are just as knowledgeable, if not more so, than Harry sitting comfortably in Montecito with someone dictating his thoughts and opinions.
Another user criticized the ridiculous stereotype perpetuated by Harry, suggesting that farmers are ignorant of social media.
They also mentioned Harry’s own struggles in school and questioned his credibility to label others as unintelligent.
The condescending nature of Harry’s comments is not a new occurrence.
As evidenced by his past remarks about his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Davey, there seems to be a natural sense of condescension that emanates from him when he is not following a script.
It is important to note that farming is not an unfamiliar trade within his own family, as King Charles himself is a farmer who raises chickens among other things.
Moreover, farming has funded Harry’s privileged life through the Duchy of Cornwall.
Perhaps if Harry were more aware of his own family history, he would think twice before making such ill-informed comments.
