Radcliffe Jumps on the Bandwagon, Takes a Swipe at the Royals



Daniel Radcliffe recently added his two cents when he  criticized the British monarchy, saying that it symbolizes a class divide in the UK.

Speaking to The Daily Beast, the Harry Potter star gave his views on the royal family and the most current scandal.

“I am not a royalist. Not at all… I just don’t see the use of the monarchy – though I’m a fierce patriot,” said Radcliffe. “I’m proud proud proud of being English, but I think the monarchy symbolizes a lot of what was wrong with the country.

“Not that they’re doing anything wrong – but that symbol of class division is not something I particularly like – and I am a very upper-middle-class kid.”

Regarding  Prince Harry’s comments towards a Pakistani colleague, Radcliffe said: “I have nothing against the royals as people, I’ve never met them. But in terms of that particular comment about Pakistanis, Prince Harry said a very stupid thing. He was probably very young at the time.

“I hope he has learned since not to say such a thing or at least learned not to be filmed saying it. The big deal to me was his wearing a Nazi uniform at that costume party.”

While we agree with the “stupid” comment, its to be hoped that ALL Of us don’t have things held against us we did multiple years ago…
