THE Queen has been hailed as a backer of Brexit tonight after details emerged of an extraordinary alleged bust-up between her and Nick Clegg over Europe.
Her Majesty let rip at the then Deputy PM during a lunch at Windsor Castle, The Sun has been told.
The 89-year-old monarch firmly told passionate pro-European Mr Clegg that she believed the EU was heading in the wrong direction.
Her stinging reprimand went on for “quite a while”, leaving other guests around the table stunned.

Good on you, Your Majesty. Clegg, you're little less than an unmeaningful dickwart. |

Surely each and every opinion any of us ventures has some sort of political element to it?
Even those who love the EU speak of the need for reform (i.e. audit your ****** accounts) Are we really saying the Head of State can saying nothing about anything??? Oh and the BCC chap suggested perhaps we may have a brighter future outside the EU.. Surprised he wasn't sent to the gallows. FFS.. |

She's a constitutional monarch and therefore must remain politically neutral.
|

By:
She openly supports the troops abroad fighting in various conflicts.
That's political. |

Whether this latest story is true or not, it would not be the first time she has spoken unfavorably about Brussels, and I think everyone knows The Duke of Edinburgh's thoughts on the EU.

Clegg's non-denial -
'As I told the journalist this is nonsense. I've no recollection of this happening & its not the sort of thing I would forget' |

By:
The Lib Dems opposed the Iraq war. The Queen has openly supported the troops in Iraq and elsewhere.
That alone makes her support political. Therefore for people to say her possible stance on the EU is unconstitional makes little sense given her support for Blair's wars. |
|
By:
Big difference Injera. The Queen supports our troops. Where is your proof she supported Blairs wars.
|
|
By:
With that logic - why has the Palace got so angry over Brexit?
For her to voice an opinion that the EU may have 'gone too far' is hardly a vote for Farage and Boris. As you say, to support the troops is not an endorsement of Blair's foreign policy (or was it?) Either way, it's irrelevant. The Palace seem quick to distance Her Majesty from Brexit. Why???? It's this ludicrous hushing up of peoples' opinions that does my head in. |

Surely she should stay neutral - Pity it wern't years ago - Cleggs head would of rolled |

So a woman from an German family line with a Greek husband wants out of Europe?
Apparently the alleged comments were made at privy council gatherings, so blabbing to the newspapers is a gross breach of protocol. In the old days they called that kind of thing treason. |

By:
Stupid boy, she`s English, and Philip may be German so what?. There have been Scottish kings also can you believe.
|
|
By:
Where are these places Hanover? Saxe-Coburg?
If Phillip was German why was his title prior to his marriage "Philip of Greece and Denmark"? |
|
By:
send these immigrants back, country cant afford them

Their names are Elizabeth and Philip, that's as English as we need. The names are very beautiful.
|
|
By:
ah so the masses from Syria and North Africa just need to change their names to Cynthia and Nigel for a warm welcome iyo?
|
|
By:
and when Phil was born I imagine his name was spelt with some phi lambda and iota in it
|

By:
Its surprising. I saw a lovely woman on tv yesterday playing pointless.
She was Chinese, possibly Chinese/English parents. Her name was Victoria and it made me wonder about her name, I thought it was a nice thing. |
