Russia Today runs through the Royal family's Nazi links

The Daily Beast, May 23, 2014

As we wait with baited breath to see if Vladimir Putin's Q&A today will cover Prince Charles's unflattering comparison of him to a certain wartime German leader with a distinctive moustache, the Kremlin-funded news channel Russia Today has hit back by highlighting the royal family's historical links to the Nazis.

The  pro-Russian broadcaster even posted a clip of the segment on Youtube with the title, "ROYAL NAZI TIES: Prince Charming and the SS." "If anyone knows real Nazis it's the royal family," said RT senior political correspondent Anissa Naouai before introducing a mocked-up photo album providing a pictorial guide to the House of Windsor's Nazi links.It featured a photograph of Charles's great uncle, the Duke of Windsor, visiting Hitler at his Obersalzberg retreat shortly after abdicating. Naouai commented that Edward, "hung out with Hitler".

RT went on to note that the Duke of Edinburgh's sister Sophie was married to an SS officer.

"Now Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler," Charles told Marianne Ferguson in reference to Russia's annexation of Crimea.
