Nigel Farage has derided the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for
their “irrelevant” social justice and environmental campaigns while abusing
Prince Charles and describing the late Queen Mother as an “overweight,
chain-smoking gin drinker”, in an incendiary speech to an Australian rightwing
political conference.
Farage’s speech to Sydney’s Conservative Political Action
Conference – from which media were barred – ranged across his views on Brexit,
media bias and the United Nations, but he reserved his fiercest condemnation
for members of the royal family, including princes Charles and Harry, and the
Queen Mother.
Meghan Markle: why all the hate?
The Brexit party leader was laudatory about the Queen – “an
amazing, awe-inspiring woman, we’re bloody lucky to have her” – but abused her
son, grandson and mother.
“When it comes to her son, when it comes to Charlie Boy and
climate change, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Her mother, Her Royal Highness the
Queen’s mother was a slightly overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker who lived
to 101 years old. All I can say is Charlie Boy is now in his 70s … may the
Queen live a very, very long time.”
Later, in response to a question about women choosing not to
have children because of climate change, he commented on Harry and Meghan
Markle’s decision to have only two children.
“Well, if I want the Queen to live a long time to stop
Charlie Boy becoming king, I want Charlie Boy to live even longer and William
to live forever to stop Harry becoming king,” he said.
“Terrifying! Here was Harry, here he was this young, brave,
boisterous, all male, getting into trouble, turning up at stag parties
inappropriately dressed, drinking too much and causing all sorts of mayhem. And
then, a brave British officer who did his bit in Afghanistan. He was the most
popular royal of a younger generation that we’ve seen for 100 years.
“And then he met Meghan Markle, and it’s fallen off a cliff.
We’ve been told in the last week that Meghan and Harry will only have two
children … and we’re all completely ignoring, the real problem the Earth faces,
and that is the fact the population of the globe is exploding but no one dares
talk about it, no one dares deal with it, and whether Prince Harry has two kids
is irrelevant given there are now 2.6 billion Chinese and Indians on this
Earth.”
Farage’s reference to “dressing up inappropriately” is an
allusion to photographs of Harry at a 2005 party dressed in a Nazi uniform.
Harry is now sixth in line of succession to the British throne, behind all of
Prince William’s children, and will not automatically follow his brother to the
regency.
The Guardian has heard a recording of part of Farage’s
speech in which the Brexit party leader is laudatory about the Queen while
abusing her relatives. While not on the recording, other media outlets have
reported that Farage described Harry as “the prince of wokeness”. Guardian
Australia has spoken to sources who said they had heard the comment, but others
who said they weren’t sure or that they had not heard it.
Farage has previously canvassed his disdain for some members
of the royal family.
In 2008 he was the sole MEP who refused to applaud a speech
on climate change by Prince Charles, later saying the prince’s advisers were
“naive and foolish at best”. After
Charles argued for greater legislative powers for the EU he wrote: “I seldom
agree with Prince Charles … I do not think it is appropriate for the heir to a
constitutional monarchy to want to take power away from his mother’s
government.”
Farage was introduced to a partisan Sydney crowd of about
500 on Saturday as “quite possibly” the next British prime minister – despite
not being a member of the UK parliament, and having failed at four attempts to
be elected.
He told his Australian audience “greenies have taken over
this country”, and condemned the deposed prime minister Malcolm Turnbull as a
“snake”.
“Malcolm Turnbull
… pretended to be a conservative but actually turned out to be a snake,” he
said, comparing him to David Cameron. “David Cameron was someone who was not
conservative at all, but a part of the trendy, metro, liberal elite
masquerading as a conservative.”
Farage said of
Turnbull’s successor, Scott Morrison, who unexpectedly won a general election
in May: “You’ve now got someone conservative, mainstream media [and] those in
the middle of Melbourne and Sydney may not like him … but out where real people
live, they voted for him.”
