Nick Clegg 'supports' Prince Charles' Putin comments

The Deputy Prime Minister has defended comments made by the Prince of Wales.

Speaking to 5 live Breakfast, Nick Clegg said “I certainly support his right to speak freely, particularly in conversations which he thinks are private. I don’t think we should expect people in the royal family to not have views. I think that’s wholly unrealistic.”

The Liberal Democrat leader defended Prince Charles after it was revealed he compared the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to Adolf Hitler.
