Sir Ian McKellen took aim at the Royal Family as he branded Queen Elizabeth II 'rude' and King Charles III 'damaged' in a new interview.
Sir Ian McKellen had some strong words for the Royal Family Sir Ian McKellen has taken aim at the Royal Family claiming the late Queen Elizabeth II was ‘bloody rude’. Despite meeting the Queen on numerous occasions and accepting various honours, Sir Ian, 85, recalled an awkward interaction with the monarch while also sharing his thoughts on Prince Harry’s rumoured feud with his family after stepping away from Royal duties. ‘The Queen, I’m sure she was quite mad at the end,’ he says.
‘Like the Duke of Edinburgh managed to do, although even he was deeply, deeply eccentric and I suspect deeply unhappy.’ ‘Same with the present king. He sort of survives, but he is clearly damaged,’ he added. Addressing Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, he continued: ‘As for Harry, he’s probably not bright enough or doesn’t have the right friends to really help himself. Mind you, he had the pick of all the pretty women in the world. I hope he’s got the right one.
