LONDON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Prince Charles is expected to publicly deny that he believes Britain's "learning culture" gives people false hope of success, the BBC reported Sunday.
The prince will tell bishops at a seminar Monday that his words in a memo that came to light last week had been misinterpreted.
He was criticized after a memo he had written was read at a tribunal hearing into former Clarence House personal assistant Elaine Day's complaint that a superior had sexually harassed her.
The prince's memo blasted a learning culture based on a "child-centered system which admits no failure" that led people to believe they could succeed without work or talent.
Day said that she believed the prince meant people should not try to rise above their station.
An advance copy of the prince's speech to the bishops says it would be a "travesty of the truth" to suggest he believed in the sentiment, and that he thinks success comes in many forms.
"In my view it is just as great an achievement to be a plumber or a bricklayer as it is to be a lawyer or a doctor," a draft of the speech said.
