A Not-So-Regal Family Tradition
Posted by Dave Blount at March 9, 2006 1:33 PM
Britain's royal family is all about tradition — which might help explain Prince Charles' confusion as to which side Britain should be on in the current conflict with radical Islam. Prince Philip (Queen Elizabeth II's husband) has revealed that the folks at Buckingham Palace were similarly ambivalent about Nazis.
It's true that at the time, almost anything might have looked acceptable compared to alternatives like the Weimar Republic and communism.
"You can understand how attractive it was," Philip said of National Socialism. This would be especially true if you shared the royal family's "inhibitions about the Jews."
Nonetheless, Philip fought for the Allies in WWII. There's no need for Prince Charles to follow suit in the present war — but it would be nice if he would stop dressing up in a djellaba and doing PR tours on behalf of the medieval maniacs who are trying to kill us.
