Labor MP Attacks Prince George in New Rant
4-year-old Prince George is the latest royal to be attacked by the Labor MP, who previously made false claims about Prince Harry's military record and accused Prince Philip of infidelity.
Anti-monarchist Emma Dent Coad made the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's eldest child, Prince George, the latest subject of her spiteful rants against the royal family. At her party's conference last week, she spoke about how the young Prince wears expensive jumpers, which cost £150 or around $199, enough to feed a family of four.
Coad was referring to what the 4-year-old wears for school, emphasizing on how the media focuses on what he wears instead of how much it costs. In what seemed to be an hour-long rant, she talked about how outrageous the royal family's spending habits are.
Prince William escorted his son, Prince George, to his first day at school in Thomas' Battersea in south London last month. The Duchess was unable to attend to her son's first day of school, as she has been bedridden due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. She is expecting her third child.
Apart from the young Prince, the MP previously took a shot at the Duchess of Cambridge, who they claim gets a budget of £19million for her wardrobe.
Coad's verbal attack on Prince George comes after fellow panelist Ken Ritchie took a shot at the four-year-old.
"We had all the media attention recently when Prince George started school," he said. "We don't know if he will grow up to be as bad as his grandfather or maybe his great-grandfather. Or that he will be as bland as his father."
In addition to their rather distasteful rants, they said that they could get rid of the royals by changing the system through an election, suggesting that they should not do anything more drastic than that. The statement prompted shouts of "shoot them!" and "Guillotine." To make matters worse, they dropped a tactless joke about the Duke of Edinburgh dying.
