Nigel Farage: Queen Mother was an ‘overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker’

His speech at Sydney’s Conservative Political Action Conference has been leaked to newspapers.

Putting up a fight in the age of misinformation

Nigel Farage said the Queen Mother was an “overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker” in a series of incendiary remarks about members of the royal family, it has been claimed.

The Brexit Party leader – in a speech in Australia to Sydney’s Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday – reportedly ridiculed comments by the Duke of Sussex that he and wife Meghan planned to have a “maximum” of two children for the sake of the planet.

And Mr Farage – who described the Queen as an “amazing, awe-inspiring woman” – said he hoped she would live a “very, very long time” to stop the Prince of Wales becoming king.

Her Royal Highness the Queen’s mother

Media were not present at the event, but the Guardian newspaper said it had heard a recording of part of Mr Farage’s speech.

“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,” he reportedly said.

“All I can say is Charlie Boy is now in his 70s… may the Queen live a very, very long time.”

Stop Harry becoming king

In reply to a question about women choosing not to have children because of climate change, Mr Farage said: “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.

“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

“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.”

Last month, Harry told activist and chimpanzee expert Dr Jane Goodall he will only have two children for the sake of the planet.

Harry said he now views the natural world differently since becoming a father to three-month-old son Archie, and when quizzed by the primatologist about how many children he is planning to have with Meghan, he replied “two, maximum”.

    I totally agree with Harry and Meghan. We cannot continue to increase the human population at the expense of all else. If we do our standard of living will fall and conflicts to gain what resources there are will increase… Not fair to compare with apes as we are supposed to be the superior race but seeing some of the activities of current politicians I really wonder if that is true.

    Off with Farage’s head! Very brave of him to hit out, seeing as they never reply to save their own skin. Still, he knows how to look after his skin. Do you think they will still pay him his pension in a no-deal situation? What about those that lose their job who actually wok? Don’t suppose he with worry. May even buy himself a property in Bavaria! After all, he is allowed to stay there being married to a German. Let’s see if my husband will be allowed to stay with me in France eh? Those that have and those that do not have!!! Same ole, same ole.
