Much hilarity in the press about a comment Princess Michael made on recent interview: "The Queen does a great Cockney accent as a party trick".

It's all very well and jolly. Good old Royals, enjoy a larf like the rest of us. But what is this here, found elsewhere in the article and largely ignored by the British press?
On "breeding" children and marrying them off:
On religious freedom (or lack thereof) :rolleyes:
On Prince Harry dressing up as a Nazi
What a despicable bigoted pompous waste of space :mad:
Is there anyone in that family with any redeeming qualities? Can't think of many...

On "breeding" children and marrying them off:
"The English take the breeding of their horses and dogs more seriously than they do their children," she said.
"God forbid that the wrong drop of blood should get into their Labrador, but their children marry however they wish. Perhaps [traditional royal] arranged marriages were not the worst option."
On religious freedom (or lack thereof) :rolleyes:
She bemoaned the fact that aristocrats and the Church no longer have a say in politics and claimed "pseudo-liberals" had stopped children from praying in schools.
"I don't know whether or not it's good that we embrace all religions. We are no longer Christians"
On Prince Harry dressing up as a Nazi
The Bohemia-born royal also said she felt sorry for Prince Harry, who was criticised for dressing up as a Nazi.
She told the paper: "If Harry had worn a hammer and sickle, nobody would have got excited, even though the hammer and sickle stands for Stalin, gulag, pogrom and devastation."
The princess, whose father fought for the Nazis during World War II, said the British press has a "different sensibility" because of its "ownership structure".
But a spokesman for the princess denied she was criticising Jewish ownership of British newspapers.

Oops! Noted and corrected.
Well, you'd expect freeloaders like her, who at the end of the day are part of the Royal Family (and taking every last perk the position has to offer) to behave properly and not be a prejudiced bigot. That lot are supposed to be Britain's ambassadors. No surprise many folk in the Continent have certain opinions about the British, when they see their Royals do and say such things...
Princess Margaret, as noted, is dead.
Princess Anne has spent many years doing hundreds of hours of charity work, and takes no credit for any of it. Unlike Diana, who was worshipped for doing charity work for attention, Anne takes and asks for no credit, and has done more work in one year than Diana, Princess of Sluts did in her entire life.
Both Charles and Philip do a lot of work for charity also, much of which is ignored. I mean, why credit Charles for being a good man when it's easier to criticise him for taking justified profits form a company he has built from scratch.
Yikes....Bit much....
I actually agree with one point that she made that not as much fuss would have been made if he'd been wearing a hammer and sickle. But its still a pretty thick thing to do.
The breeding analogy with horses is somewhat weird, but she is a royal and bloodlines and breeding are part and parcel of who she is.
Not really. Saint Diana was the media image, the reality was completely different.
As for Michael, hardly worth listening to and none of those views of hers surprise me. She's known for it.
As for my remark about Diana, Princess Slag, it wasn't unjustified at all. It's no wonder Charles went back to Camilla given that his wife seemed to have a pathological inability to keep her knickers on.
but yeah, why take offense at it? i don't think anyone takes any notice of what princess michael of kent does or says
we should listen more to princess anne :yes: she seems to be a no nonsense royal, unlike some of them
I have no love for the woman but I think that the Jewish issue is a bit far-fetched. This is the first I've heard about the Jews dominating the British press.
Complaining about anti-semitism in this case is counter-productive IMO.
Thats the thing Aladdin, its all getting far-fetched now and people are just chucking the word around without thought. Pointless.
She says the Hammer and Sickle stands for Stalin and oppression - nothing could be further from the truth. The Hammer meanings the Workers and the Sickle means the Peasants. The crossing over of the two means the working class united. It's symbolic of struggle against oppression and the desire to create the common good, not some meglomaniac's gulags! :mad:
Talk about relief
I was protesting the reference to the hammer and sickle alone, not the Soviet flag.
These were her exact words, and I disagree for the above reasons.
