Lewis Hamilton Apologizes for Shaming Nephew Over Wearing Princess Dress on Christmas
Lewis Hamilton posted a video of his young nephew wearing a princess dress where he can be seen yelling “boys don’t wear princess dresses,” and it received a ton of backlash online.
“I’m so sad right now. Look at my nephew…Why are you wearing a princess dress? Is this what you got for Christmas? Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas? Boys don’t wear princess dresses,” Lewis, a four-time Formula One World Champion, said in the now deleted video, which has been circulating on Twitter.
Now, Lewis has taken to Twitter to apologize in a series of tweets.

Yesterday I was playing around with my nephew and realised that my words were inappropriate so I removed the post. I meant no harm and did not mean to offend anyone at all. I love that my nephew feels free to express himself as we all should.

My deepest apologies for my behaviour as I realise it is really not acceptable for anyone, no matter where you are from, to marginalise or stereotype anyone.

I have always been in support of anyone living their life exactly how they wish and I hope I can be forgiven for this lapse in judgement.
