‘Boys don’t wear princess dresses’: Lewis Hamilton shames his nephew
Lewis Hamilton has come under fire on social media today after he uploaded footage of himself scolding his young nephew for wearing a princess dress.
The Formula One champion, who has had an on again / off again relationship with Nicole Scherzinger for more than a decade, has been criticised by the public in the wake of the upload.
"I’m so sad right now…look at my nephew," he says to the camera yesterday before directing it at a little boy happily wearing a princess costume.
Oh dear Lewis. You’ve just opened a can of worms… pic.twitter.com/fpsiNeOZrd

"Why are you wearing a princess dress? Is this what you got for Christmas?" he asked the child who giggled bashfully in response.
Raising his voice, Lewis continued: "Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas, boys don’t wear Christmas dresses!"
The footage, which has been deleted from the 32-year-old's Instagram, has infuriated his followers who wasted no time venting their anger.

Male public figures: this would be an *excellent* time to put on a princess dress and post a photo, in solidarity with wee boys everywhere who just want to play and have fun, and in defiance of the adults who mock them for it. #LewisHamilton pic.twitter.com/auaSBG9YeO

“Boys don’t wear dresses.”? Last time I checked, adults don’t publicly shame children for being children on Christmas Day, or any other day for that matter. Absolute prick #LewisHamilton
