Then Elizabeth's dad, Bertie, took the throne as George VI. He was a good man. As World War II began, Bertie had to kick the brother and his consort out of the country to Bermuda for the duration, because, being active Nazi sympathizers, they were a big, fat security risk in London.
Since poor Prince Charles appears to be a greenie pinhead, I'm not quite shocked that he also finds anti-Semitism an easy reflex when it is fashionable. (And notice that Charles got entangled with a mystifying commoner divorcée as well. Not kosher for heirs to the throne, by tradition. What's the fascination, Charlie?)
The Foreign Office probably influences the Royals in this vein. Like our State Department, it has been seething with upper-class Arabist anti-Semites for a century.
Very good point! To keep peace with all oil producing Arab nations, the State Department and Foreign Office say, “to h**l with the Jews!”
By 1948 the Jews had made Mandatory Palestine too hot to handle & the British withdrew but continued to support Arab states attacking the new Israeli state. The Jews won their war for independence; this didn’t go down well in London.
Members of the RF served against the Nazis, as disgusting as the support from Edward was, and it may have actually have been treasonous and cost British lives, the whole RF wasn’t Nazi-obsessed.
Naturalman1975 is a close friend of the Prince. I take exception to you calling him an anti-Semite, I think that’s a terrible and simply incorrect accusation. I know Naturalman will take greater exception.
