"If anyone knows real Nazis it's the royal family" the channel declared on its In the Now programme while it flashed up sepia portraits of the Queen and family.

Here was Charles's great uncle, the Duke of Windsor, and wife Wallis Simpson, photographed visiting Hitler at his Obersalzberg retreat in 1937 shortly after abdicating as Edward VIII. Simpson, RT senior political correspondent Anissa Naouai solemnly pronounced, "hung out with Hitler".

There was the Duke of Edinburgh, his chest weighted with medals. "His sister, Sophie," added Naouai, "was married to a SS officer." Cue photograph of Christophe of Hesse-Cassel, marching in his SS colonel's uniform. Naouai could have added, for good measure, he named his eldest son Karl Adolf in Hitler's honour.

Then, the piece de resistance. Charles's "very own son" Prince Harry. Pictured in Nazi costume at a party on the front page of the Sun. "He likes to dress up as a Nazi, even if its just for Halloween," confided the presenter.

Which all goes to show: "Perhaps the royals are better seen not heard" and "Prince Charles should put his money where his mouth is".



Well done!

6. Poor guy.

"Charles.......Hitler?!?!?"

"That's me."

"Wow, is that your real name?"

"Yeah."

"So are you related to the genocidal fascist dictator guy?"

"No, it's just a coincidence."

"Why don't you just change your name?"

"Why should I change it? He's the one who sucks."
