Nigel Farage tried to criticise Prince Harry s tribute to Prince Philip and it did not go well
Kate PlummerApr 12, 2021 Nigel Farage/Twitter Nigel Farage is facing a backlash after criticising Prince Harry’s response to his grandfather’s death. The former Brexit Party leader turned Cameo star had claimed Harry and Meghan’s tribute to Prince Philip showed “contempt” and said they would not be welcome at the duke’s funeral. He said:For a couple that do public emotion as a career, this third person and one sentence statement shows their contempt… https://t.co/1oEDROzVDc — Nigel Farage (@Nigel Farage) 1618001202 But this was not met with the support he may have been expecting. Responding to his comments, broadcaster James O’Brien said:When hate is an emotion *and* a career... https://t.co/5yG5Opz8tq — James Oh Brien (@James Oh Brien) 1618060546 And comedian Janey Godley added:Nigel Farage telling a grandson he can’t attend his granda’s funeral is fucked https://t.co/TVdzkLj1x2 — Janey Godley (@Janey Godley) 1618056514 It comes after it was confirmed Harry will be allowed to attend his grandfather’s funeral on “compassionate” grounds, despite pandemic quarantine rules. Meghan, on the other hand, will not attend as she is heavily pregnant with the couple’s second child and, as such, has been advised against flying. The tribute to Prince Philip posted on their website that Farage had found so egregious read: “In loving memory of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, 1921-2021. “Thank you for your service… you will be greatly missed.” Others also slammed Farage for his response. One user said:@Nigel_Farage As a child, Prince Harry had to walk before the world, behind his mother's coffin. His knowledge of g… https://t.co/dP3BILnIud — sarah w (@sarah w) 1618053331 While another remarked:@Nigel_Farage His grandfather has died and your reaction is to incorrectly assert he won’t be welcome at the funeral. You’re a ghoul. — Larry the Cat (@Larry the Cat) 1618004167 And, after Mark Fleischmann questioned Farage’s suitability to comment on who the British public do and do not like, given his electoral record, he shot himself in the foot once again:I am the first person in British political history to win 2 national elections with 2 different parties. Not to men… https://t.co/Iml7fPsBX9 — Nigel Farage (@Nigel Farage) 1618075949 Unsurprisingly, more mockery ensued:@Nigel_Farage What did you win. And with which party? Unless I have been in a coma for the last 20 years I am ca… https://t.co/ELDCLs2GdC — stranger in a strange hat (@stranger in a strange hat) 1618076322 Harry has since released another tribute to his grandfather, describing him as “authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit”. He said: “He was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ‘til the end. “He has been a rock for Her Majesty The Queen with unparalleled devotion, by her side for 73 years of marriage, and while I could go on, I know that right now he would say to all of us, beer in hand, ‘Oh do get on with it!”” Farage hasn’t given his verdict on that statement yet. Farage said he had retired from politics. We had hoped that would extend to his Twitter commentary. Clearly not. James O' Brien' s analogy for PM' s tax cut defense shows it' s nonsense
