Shocking moment student brands Prince Harry a 'ginger f***' while William visits college

This is the shocking moment a schoolboy left teachers mortified after shouting that Prince Harry was a “ginger f***” as the Prince of Wales drove past.

Prince William, 43, was carrying out an official visit to Bournemouth and Poole College, and mobile phone footage shows him being waved off by cheering crowds as he left the site.

But one boy appeared to become overexcited, shouting: “Go on Will! I never liked Harry, the ginger f***!”

The loutish comment was likely heard by William through his open car window, with bystanders — believed to be teachers — audibly gasping.

A woman immediately told the student off, saying: "Oi. Get in there now."

Elsewhere, a man was heard saying: "Don't you dare talk like that. Go inside. That's not on."

Another man, who appeared to be behind the camera, repeatedly said ‘Oh my god’ over and over while a fourth person observed: "That is diabolical."

Despite the shock of onlookers, the video showing the incident has amassed over 733,000 likes on Tiktok.

The crowds continued to cheer and focus on William car as it went off into the sunset. The incident took place in March, but has only just appeared online.

Despite the schoolboy drama, the rest of Prince William's visit went off without a hitch as he chatted with students about their aspirations, and talked to others who had experienced homelessness about mental health.

The prince hugged 24-year-old student Natasha Gorry who was waiting to greet him outside the college, after she seemed overwhelmed at seeing him in person.

He said: "Go on, give me a hug. So nice to see you but you’ve got some lessons to go to now. I’m going to get you in trouble for keeping you out of your lessons now. You’ve got a free period now? When’s lunch break? You’ve brought the sun out today, it’s lovely."

Afterwards, Ms Gorry said: "I am so happy. He gave me a hug. I love it. I’m excited. It’s my first time. I told him what course I was doing. He’s an amazing guy."

Prince William was visiting institutions across the south of England, where is launching a new partnership between his Homewards programme and Lloyds Banking Group, in an attempt to create new homes in the area.
