Roy Strong, the man who has spent years documenting the lives of members of the Royal Family, has alleged that the Queen Mother made a racist comment.
Sir Roy Strong has published numerous books about his long relationship with the Royal Family. The second volume was gossip filled and covered royal scandals and upsets between 1988 and 2003. Despite the revealing nature of the books, Strong says he is still close to Prince Charles. He highlighted the strong relationship through Prince Charles’s love of the Laskett Gardens – a garden that took several years to create and is renowned for its idyllic and beautiful setting.
Strong, who is the former director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, said part of him was protective of the Queen Mother which is why he did not record the Queen Mother’s alleged racial prejudices.
He stated that her alleged racist comments were “too awful” to put into a book. Adding: “I can remember the Queen Mother came to lunch at Ham House, which was a branch of the V&A, and she said ‘I will bring the liquid refreshment,’ and we all know what that meant.”
Roy Strong then went on to talk about a time when they were having lunch, saying: “The Queen was in Africa at the time, and the Queen Mother leant over to me and said ‘Beware the blackamoors’. I can’t put that down.
“But one knows she was colour prejudiced.”
However, despite the claims, he did say: “I revere the monarchy for all its faults.”
This is not the first time the late Queen Mother, who passed away in 2002, has been reported to have made racist comments. An authorised biography by William Shawcross alleged that she met a Japanese Prince and said “Nip on! Nip on!” It is also claimed that she said: “The Africans just don’t know how to govern themselves…what a pity we’re still not looking after them.”
However, people have also spoken up and highlighted the Queen Mother’s tolerance. The late Woodrow Wyatt, a British politician, highlights in his memoir that when he expressed the view that non-white countries have nothing in common with “us” the Queen Mother spoke up and said “I am very keen on the Commonwealth. They’re all like us.”
Only too awful to an anti-white racist self-hating liberal.
You sound so angry. It’s horrible because one should not treat people this way. Treat someone based on their character and not on how they look.
Angry?? You must be over sensitive. Treat people in what way? Does The Truth offend you in some way?
Poor entitled snowflake. Get mum to change your nappy and put you in your crib.
Apply that to yourself – you’re the spineless yellow bellied libtard troll defending the anti-white racists, not me. Oh and don’t forget to look in the mirror as you’re saying it.
Only you Brainwashed Pathetic Uneducated Uninformed Unhinged Jealous Dishevelled Triggered Violent Looney LYING Lefty RACIST RACE BAITING Whiny Loser Nutjob LIBERAL DemonRat CryBaby Welfare Leeching Hypocrite Filthy Libt4rds can be Snowflakes!! That word was Made-up/Created for you…not the other way around!
Lolz!
Aww! Did someone pee in your tea, again?
Nah but it certainly looks like you found a turd floating in yours. LOL Off you go now – your safe space awaits.
Exactly! In those days it was a perfectly correct way to refer to black people, as was ‘coloured’ but times change. Nothing to do with racism whatsoever so grow up
Times change, but people don’t so the Queen Mother was right then and she would still be right if she were still alive today and saying the same things.
Oh and the “grow up” slogan is usually that of a femininist loser with no argument.
I’m not surprised but times have changed and hopefully attitudes will as well.
And here’s hoping that yours does as well before it’s too late.
Clarify, please…
What do you need clarifying?
I didn’t even read this article.
Queen Mother? Must they really? That’s a pretty low blow. Sales must be slipping.
This is vile.
What is vile? Explain yourself.
Well, she’s dead and can’t defend her “So- called ” statements.
All we have is just what this person says she said.
It’s really not a very even playing field.
I heard Hitler was scared to confront her, she actually read Mein Kemft, and was quoted as saying she was the most dangerous lady in Europe
Thank you for your response.
What is there to defend? What she said was correct, truthful and honest. And she did say those things. She was a proud Imperialist through to her core.
And yes she was dangerous because she, with the aid of Lord Halifax, tried to remove Churchill from power whom she deemed a traitor and war monger.
All the Royals in the 1930s, with the exception of the stutterer the Duke of York, were pro-Hitler.
Oh! The Duke … The Abdicator and his “Wife “…..
Now, that was a very dangerous couple. Very, very dangerous!
I’ll have to look this up, you just piqued my interest into this, again.
I think I read about it, once, a long time ago… Thank you for the information. See? These comment boards are educational, at times.
I think I learned something new and remembered a few things I forgot.
Thanks again!!!
On the contrary King Edward VIII was the most popular king Britain ever had – a king that sympathised with the poverty stricken working class in the Rothschild caused depression of the 1930s.
He became very interested in Hitler’s usury free German miracle and wanted to see the same system applied in Britain so that British workers prospered like German workers.
This made him ‘dangerous’ to the Jews who controlled Britain. Wallis Simpson was then used as the excuse to force him off the throne.
Churchill hid behind the Archbishop of Canterbury who used the religious angle re the divorced Simpson to get Edward to abdicate. He was fitted up as they say, but the real reason was Edward’s desire for an alliance with Hitler’s Germany and no war.
“Germany’s unforgivable crime before the second world war,” Churchill said,” was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world’s trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny (Jew) world finance its opportunity to profit.”
– Winston Churchill to Lord Robert Boothby, quoted in the Foreword, 2nd Ed. Sydney Rogerson, Propaganda in the Next War 2001, orig. 1938.
“Hitler will have no war, but he will be forced into it, not this year but later…”
— Emil Ludwig, Les Annales, June, 1934
“in the Rothschild caused depression”
This sounds anti semitic.
“This sounds anti semitic.”
This sounds untrue, brainwashed and programmed:
“Cabalist Jews believe that perception is reality. They are reality inventors. Thus, they have taken control of the mass media and movies to shape perception. That’s why politicians and media today lie unabashedly.
— The Jew, Henry Makow PhD
‘Beware the blackamoors’, hmmm, I may put that on a pillow. Oh, my, the sturm und drang of such racism…vinaigrette, vinaigrette, I need my VINAGRETTE!!!
I presume you’re attempting to say something constructive other than just polish your narcissistic ego.
My histrionic ego was exemplifying overreaction. I need no polishing and, thank you, I truly enjoy explaining myself for those of simple and superficial thought. The Queen Mother should be let alone.
What overreaction?
You enjoy explaining yourself for those of simple and superficial thought? Looks to me like you love the sound of your own patronising and condescending voice. All is vanity.
Charles, time for your dollies to have their tea party, move along.
No need to confirm that I am right, but thanks anyway.
What a crock… was there supposed to be a story here?
“This is not the first time the late Queen Mother, who passed away in 2002, has been reported to have made racist comments.

This is so funny! As far as the comments about the Africans is concerned, it’s so true! One just has to look at Zimbabwe and South Africa, just to name two, to prove her right!
Now why is he telling everyone about this now!?
Disgusting for him to say anything!
Oh please! Pffftt!!
