British Airways Has Come Under Fire For Sexist Ad Encouraging Women To 'Find Another Prince'

Whether it’s Meghan’s coat, Harry’s shoes or that ring, since Monday’s royal announcement it has been impossible to avoid the onslaught of marketing campaigns utilising the engagement to sell, sell, sell.
British Airways were one of the companies to get in on the action but the travel giant manage to get it rather wrong.
‘That's it girls - he's taken…’ the ad wrote in reference to Prince Harry’s engagement.
‘Now go and find another kingdom with a prince still single. The world is your oyster,’ it continued alongside flight prices for destinations where you can find the aforementioned Prince. Suggested destinations included Luxembourg, Dubai and Bangkok.
While it can be assumed the ad was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, the suggestion that all women are searching for their Prince Charming is sexist, offensive and at the best, simply tone deaf.
