Former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon appeared on the UK-based GB News network, explaining that the headline-grabbing drama between the Royal Family and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle isn’t a “show business” ploy. Rather, it is a story of Britain’s national decline, he argued.
“I don’t think it’s an entertainment story,” Bannon continued, before adding: “I think it’s a story that cuts to the heart of where the United Kingdom is right now politically. I think it cuts to the heart of where you people are as a society and a culture.”
“If you look at what’s happened… he’s a shell of his former self,” Bannon told GB News host Patrick Christys regarding Mr. Markle’s ‘woke’ political turn. “The stuff he says and comes up with, I just wince and say, ‘My God what happened to this guy.'”
As a younger man, Harry served in the British military and saw two combat tours of duty in Afghanistan. Serving as an Apache helicopter commander, he flew six missions and is reported to have killed 25 Taliban hostiles. Speaking on the military service, Bannon said: “That is an incredible young man, and I think for the monarchies – not just England but also in Europe – it’s a real example of what they want to produce.”
Bannon went on to explain the embrace of radical woke culture by Harry, at the urging of his wife, symbolizes the social and political strife affecting the British nation as a whole. “I think it is a tragedy, and I think the arch of his career – where he is now – is a shining example of what wokeness will do to you. Of what this culture will do to you.”
