Lara Spencer Apologizes for Prince George Ballet Comment

Associated Press

   NEW YORK - "Good Morning America" host Lara Spencer has apologized for
   her "insensitive" comments about Prince George taking ballet lessons.
   Spencer discussed the backlash against her comments Monday, saying she
   has learned the "bravery it takes for a young boy to pursue a career in
   dance."
   She was heavily criticized last week when she heard Prince George loved
   ballet and she said "we'll see how long that lasts."
   Spencer interviewed dancers Robbie Fairchild, Travis Wall and Fabrice
   Calmels on Monday. They all told their stories about the stigma they
   faced.
   She says she hopes she has turned a negative "into a teachable moment."
