Nigel Farage attacks 'Prince of Wokeness' Harry and Meghan Markle and 'Charlie Boy'
Nigel Farage has ripped into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their 'irrelevant' environmental campaigns and branded the late Queen Mother an 'overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker'.
The Brexit Party leader tore into the royal couple's decision to have only two children and claimed Prince Harry's popularity had 'fallen off a cliff' after meeting Meghan.
Mr Farage appeared to condone Harry dressing as a Nazi at a fancy dress party in 2005, saying he preferred the prince when he was 'getting into trouble' and 'causing all sorts of mayhem'.
But the former UKIP leader said the royal had turned into the 'Prince of Wokeness' after marrying Meghan.
Addressing a crowd of around 500, he said: '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.

During the rightwing conference, Mr Farage:
'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.
'[The Queen is] an amazing, awe-inspiring woman, we’re bloody lucky to have her.
'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.
'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.'
'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.'
Mr Farage launched the scathing attack on the royals during the three-day Sydney Conservative Political Action Conference, where media members were banned.
He went on to praise the Queen for being 'an amazing, awe-inspiring woman', telling the conference 'we're bloody lucky to have her'. But he was not so kind about her son and mother.
He said: 'When it comes to her son, when it comes to Charlie Boy and climate change, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Speaking to a crowd of around 500, Farage described the late Queen Mother an 'overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker'. She's pictured at Trooping the Colour in 1991 with Princess Diana
'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.'
It is not the first time Mr Farage has taken aim at Charles, having previously described his views on climate change as 'naive and foolish at best'.
In 2008 he was the sole MEP who refused to applaud a speech on global warming by the prince.
Many Twitter users jumped to Mr Farage's defence, claiming that he was well within his write to voice his opinions on the royals.
Richard Lane wrote: 'Did he say something that was false? His opinion on Charles' views are neither true nor false, just his opinion. And did the Queen's Mother chain smoke and drink gin? (I think you'll find she did).'
The former UKIP leader also took aim at Prince Charles, who he has previously described as 'foolish and naive' when it comes to climate change. He's pictured at The Highland Games last week in Aberdeen
