'Outrageous!'
Moscow hits back at Prince Charles over Putin-Hitler comparison . . .
Moscow
has demanded an official explanation from the UK over reported comments in
which Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, compared Vladimir Putin’s
actions in Ukraine to those of Adolf Hitler in the run up to World War II.
“If
such comments were genuinely made, they do not reflect well on the future King
of England. We are not concerned, we are outraged,” said Russian Foreign
Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich.
“As one
of the members of the UK’s Labour Party said, royals should be seen and not
heard,” continued the Russian official, who said that any response will depend
on the explanation offered by the British side.
The
Russian ambassador in London met with Foreign Office representatives on
Thursday afternoon, but the British side refused to comment on what it termed a
"private conversation".
The
royal’s remarks, allegedly made to a 78-year-old Canadian during an official
visit to the country, surfaced earlier this week.
When
Marienne Ferguson described escaping Gdansk in Poland 1939 ahead of the
invasion by Nazi Germany, the prince reportedly said “And now Putin is doing
just about the same as Hitler,” referring to the recent incorporation of
formerly Ukrainian Crimea into Russia.
Ferguson,
who revealed the conversation to the Daily Mail, said the remarks appeared
“heartfelt and honest.”
The
Royal Family’s press office did not deny the content of the chat, but insisted
that “the Prince of Wales would not seek to make a public political statement
during a private conversation."
The
comments provoked a mixed response from the UK’s political class.
"If
Prince Charles wants to make controversial statements on national or
international issues he should abdicate and stand for election. In a
constitutional monarchy, policy and diplomacy should be conducted by parliament
and government. Monarchy should be seen and not heard," said a tweet from
Mike Gapes, a senior Labour MP and former chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Select Committee, the UK parliament’s international policy body.
But his
party leader, Ed Miliband, said that the King-in-waiting “has got a point about
President Putin’s actions and he is absolutely entitled to say that there are
real concerns about that.”
Just as
the Foreign Office, Prime Minister David Cameron said it was not his business
to comment on private conversations, but stated that “everyone’s entitled to
their private opinions.”
