WAS MARX WOKE : Shocking rumours are swirling around Buckingham Palace today that Prince Harry and his wife are planning to swap a portrait of his Gran for one of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov alias Lenin.
Inside sources at Buck House believe that Harry and Meghan are impressed with Cambridge students removing the Queen’s picture from the common room and replacing it with that one of the Tennis Girl scratching her knickerless backside (see picture page 3).
It has been suspected that Harry has had communist sympathies for some years, ever since he attended a party as a student dressed as Marx. Moreover Meghan is known to support the Marxist organisation, Black Lives Matter, and Harry was captured by our photographer kneeling in front of his TV at the start of England’s match against Romania last Sunday.
The Palace press office has denied the rumours but said off the record that they weren’t surprised. Prince Charles is said to be appalled. Her regal graciousness, Princess Duchess Cambridge Kate, wearing a simple Primark summer frock and displaying her usual elegance, agreed. ‘It is really appalling, but what do you expect from that bi(see pictures of lovely Kate pages 6 to 9).
Harry and Meghan’s press assistant was asked about the story. ‘Harry and Meghan wish to put the record straight. First, Harry went to the party as Harpo Marx, not Karl. Secondly, he wasn’t taking the knee, he was looking for the remote. Otherwise, yeah, that’s about right.’
