Queen Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, launched a scathing attack on the Labour government during a speech at the Boisdale Xerjoff Cigar Smoker of the Year Awards in London. He described the government as 'useless' and accused it of failing to even 'lie properly'.
Speaking on stage, Parker Bowles said: 'We're here, back again, bruised, battered and perhaps destroyed almost by the sovereign functions of a government so useless, they cannot even be bothered to lie properly.' He added: 'We mustn't let the politics of envy sully what is one of the most glorious and lovely nights of the year.'
The comments come days after Rachel Reeves delivered her annual Budget, and follow previous outspoken remarks from Parker Bowles. Last year, he criticised 'woke values', telling 'the eternally bloody offended' to 'f*** off'.
While not a member of the Royal Family, his views are seen as reflecting those of his mother, Queen Camilla. The Queen recently made a rare political comment at a Guildhall reception, calling for resolve against tyranny in Ukraine.
