Just because it is intended to be a joke, does not make it acceptable. As a prince, he should be acting in higher level of care and attention, and especially his words. What may be acceptable in a normal citizen would be unacceptable given that the person who said it is part of the Royal family.

Although in this case it's pretty tame, I'm just speaking in general. I hear this line a lot.

This is the same goof who dressed up as a Nazi for Halloween and didn't see anything wrong with it.
