Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth ‘Had A Royal Feud’ Over This ‘Meddling’ Reason
Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II had a royal feud years ago when the future king meddled with politics.
In Netflix’s documentary “The Royal House of Windsor,” narrator Gwilym Lee revealed that Prince Charles expressed his desire to visit immigrant areas in order to help people that have been ignored or neglected by their government.
However, Buckingham Palace saw this effort as taboo because the idea of the heir to the throne showing support for immigrants was highly sensitive.
“Buckingham Palace was reassured that Charles ‘would move cautiously and only with advice on this one,’” the narrator said (via Express).
In another incident, Prince Charles wanted to talk to the people involved in the race riots in several cities two years after Margaret Thatcher’s election victory. The dad of two wanted to know how he could help the people that were obviously unhappy with Thatcher’s win.
“This may be political, I don’t give the stuff as it is. It’s social and I know I can do something about it. If that gets me into trouble, I don’t care,” he said.
Prince Charles’ vision also clashed with Thatcher’s views. In 1978, Thatcher was asked to comment on immigration during an interview.
“If we went on as we are, then by the end of the century there’d be four million people of the new Commonwealth here,” she said.
Prince Charles, on the other hand, introduced the concept of a culturally diverse Britain, which was a contrast to Thatcher’s tough immigration act introduced by her office in 1981.
In related news, all royals, regardless of their position or rank on the throne, cannot talk about politics in public. According to CNN, if the royals support one side of the government, a bigger divide will take place. However, this doesn’t mean that royals don’t have political views; they simply talk about it amongst themselves behind closed doors.
