Clarissa Astor, a Green Party candidate linked to David Cameron’s family, has apologized for sharing pro-Hamas propaganda, including an AI-altered image of Princess Diana. Her posts, which also accused British police of serving Zionism and depicted Netanyahu with a Hitler mustache, have sparked outrage and raised concerns about anti-Semitism in the party. Political leaders, including Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage, have condemned the Green Party’s leadership.
A Green Party election candidate with ties to former Prime Minister David Cameron ’s family has issued an apology after sharing controversial pro-Hamas content on social media, including a digitally altered image of Princess Diana wearing Palestinian attire.
Clarissa Astor, a prominent figure in London’s elite circles and married to Samantha Cameron’s stepbrother, faced backlash for posting inflammatory material, such as a doctored photo depicting an Israeli hostage kissing a Hamas terrorist, claims that British police serve Zionist interests, and an AI-generated image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a Hitler-like mustache. After being contacted by The Mail on Sunday, Astor removed the posts and apologized for any offense caused, though her actions have sparked broader concerns about anti-Semitic rhetoric within the Green Party.
The controversy comes amid growing scrutiny of Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who recently apologized for criticizing police officers involved in the arrest of an alleged attacker in Golders Green. Astor’s posts, which also included accusations that Jewish Israelis are migrants in Palestine and that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, have drawn condemnation from political rivals.
Conservative Party chairman Kevin Hollinrake described the Green Party as a 'poison party, toxic to its core,' while Labour leader Keir Starmer called Polanski 'disgraceful' and unfit to lead. Reform UK’s Nigel Farage compared Polanski to former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, further intensifying the political fallout. Astor, who is running for the Greens in Westminster, is part of the influential 'Chipping Norton set,' a social circle that includes high-profile figures like the Camerons and Jeremy Clarkson.
Despite her connections to royalty—she attended Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding—her social media activity has raised questions about her political judgment. In one post, she defended Hamas by comparing its actions to Israel’s military operations in Gaza, while another accused British police of serving Zionist interests. The original creator of the altered Diana image condemned its use by Hamas supporters, calling it manipulative.
As the Green Party faces internal and external criticism, the incident highlights the challenges of balancing free speech with responsible political discourse
