"Nigel Farage: 'Queen Mother was a chain-smoking gin drinker'"

Is this something to be proud of? :

“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.”

If you mean what you've put in bold ,was it something to be proud of? Not sure what your point is Annie .
I think he was pointing out the faults and failures of some Royals .
He was at least correct about the Queen Mum .

I mean the whole thing. The Royals are one of our greatest assets. They attract many visitors. Why is it a good idea for someone so influential to give an interview saying such things?

It's not the first time that the media make stuff up or take things out of context to discredit someone......And if he did actually say that about the Queen Mother, Prince Charles and Harry he was right.....

It is nobody's business what the Queen Mother did in private.
If she did the Can-Can and swung from the chandeliers,so what?

Of course they don't .
It's been proven many times .
Visitors don't come to the Uk expecting to have tea with the Queen or have a cosy chat with Kate and wills .
They come to see the palaces and castles etc .
France does better than this in this respect and they have no royal family .
