Centuries of inbreeding and stupidity resulted in a person who comes out with ideas like this.

I also agree that kids shouldn't try to be pop stars or supermodels because those are, let's face it, the worse careers imaginable.

But if we were all to just stick to our stations, where would that leave me? Or you? Nowhere we'd like, that's for sure.

It seems to me that Prince Charles has confused many things. If we are part of a culture that doesn't accept failure, then it would make sense for people to remain in their stations, never aspiring for a career that doesn't suit us. And yet, he's also complaining that people want to be leaders, want to rise above the "genes" given to them - surely the sign of an individual who doesn't care whether they fail or not.

The woman in question had a university degree and inquired about her possibilities of promotion within the household. Why shouldn't she get the training if she wants it, if she's willing to put in the work?

Prince Charles doesn't know what it's like to work for something beyond his means because everything he ever accomplished was handed to him.
