‘Keep his nose out’: Journalist slams Prince Charles over Rwanda comments
A conservative journalist has blasted Prince Charles over the royal’s views on the UK government’s plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda.
Prince Charles has been slammed after the royal called the UK’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda “appalling”.
During Monday’s episode of GB News’ Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel, available to stream on Flash, the Daily Mail’s UK Consultant Editor Andrew Pierce said the future king should “keep his nose out” of the government’s migration policy.
The conservative journalist also warned that if the Prince of Wales carries on expressing his personal views on topics like Rwanda, “he’ll be out”.

“How dare he? I get that it annoys politicians, but we take Prince Charles more seriously on this,” he said on the program.
“If he said, by the way I have opened up one of my many, many residences to five families crossing the Channel, but he hasn’t, and he’s got a lot of property.
“The fact is he can have his views, judges aren’t allowed to say this sort of things, they aren’t allowed to say things like this.
“He’s in that category where he’s got to be discreet. If he carries on like this when he’s king, he’ll be out.”
In April, the UK government announced migrants who arrive in Britain illegally will be deported to Rwanda.
The plan overcame a late legal challenge after a High Court judge ruled that the first flight to the east African country could go ahead.
A source told The Times that they heard Prince Charles expressing his disappointment for the policy in private.
“He [Charles] said he thinks the government’s whole approach is appalling. It was clear he was not impressed with the government’s direction of travel,” the source said.
A spokesperson for Clarence House said: “We would not comment on supposed anonymous private conversations with the Prince of Wales, except to restate that he remains politically neutral. Matters of policy are decisions for government.”
