British Council Charity Worker Calls Prince George A 'F****** D***head’

A senior employee at the British Council is being investigated after she allegedly made disparaging comments about toddler Prince George.

Angela Gibbins, the head of global estates at the charity, is said to have called the son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge a “f****** d***head” who lived “on public money.

A Facebook comment under a picture of Prince George, allegedly written by Ms Gibbibs, read: “I know he’s only two years old, but Prince George already looks like a f****** d***head.”

The British Council, which promotes the UK and the English language in more than 100 countries, said her alleged comments, in which she also called the tot "royal, rich” and “advantaged” and referenced “white privilege”, were not representative of the organisation’s views.

A spokeswoman said: “This comment was made on a private social media account.

"It has absolutely no connection to the British Council and does not represent the views of the British Council.

"That said, we expect the highest standards of our staff and we will be investigating the matter further.”

Ms Gibbins’ apparent comments, which were reported in The Sun, were on a photograph of Prince George - who has just turned three - taken for a set of stamps to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday when he was two years old.

She allegedly said: "White privilege. That cheeky grin is the innate knowledge he’s royal, rich, advantaged and will never know *any* difficulties or hardships in life.

"Let’s find photos of 3yo Syrian refugee children and see if they look alike, eh?”

After being criticised by several Facebook users, Ms Gibbins is said to have responded: "I’m sound in my socialist, atheist and republican opinions.

"I don’t believe the royal family have any place in a modern democracy, least of all when they live on public money. That’s privilege and it needs to end.”

The British Council has a Royal Charter and its patron is the Queen.
