The extract was critical of the longstanding English tradition of calling the Queen “your Majesty”, with the outspoken Brand claiming that this placed her “at the top of a class pyramid on a shelf of money with her own face on it”.
“We should be calling her Mrs Windsor,” his stated, In fact that’s not even her real name, they changed it in the war to distract us from the inconvenient fact that they were as German as the enemy that teenage boys were being encouraged, conscripted actually, to die fighting. Her actual name is Mrs Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
“‘Mrs Saxe-Coburg-Gotha’!! No wonder they f**king changed it. It’s the most German thing I’ve ever heard – she might’ve well as been called ‘Mrs Bratwurst-Kraut-Nazi’.”
Brand was lambasted by facebook uses who accused him of ”glaring hypocrisy” after an image of him meeting the Queen in 2007 after the Royal variety performance was uploaded. Brand’s critics are right, in that one who formerly met the Queen and enjoyed the accolades associated with the meeting is hardly in a position to be so critical of her to the point of making us wonder if she has done something to upset him.
The Grays born comedian and former television presenter seems to be hooked on making controversial comments in a bid to boost his profile. Sure enough, there are many who like Brand because of the audacity he so often demonstrates, but he most certainly is exceeding reasonable boundaries with the regularity of his ‘over the mark’ comments. He was recently heavily criticised for undermining the minutes silence recommended for those killed in the Tunisian terror attack, though his defence was political in nature, making his comments no less acceptable.
Brand was not long ago described by a writer as ”a stupid man’s idea of a clever person” , and lambasted by a writer from India’s G.Q magazine as being ”that person in school nobody wanted to do mushrooms with”. The 40 year old is a daring man with a stream of opinions flowing down the veins of his controversial mind, but must balance the wide ranging conflicting thoughts and sentiments that creates two personalities in one-”the funny man and the vindictive insensitive man”
One social media user blasted him, saying “he speaks the ramblings of the privileged few yet wants to appear to represent the masses.”
Another rebuked him saying “You are so wrong on many counts…The Queen is Mrs Mountbatten, not Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, that was her mother’s maiden name…..Windsor is the House of Windsor, like the Plantaginates and the Tudors, her Grandfather decided on the Windsor Dynast
