British actor Ian McKellen criticized several members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and Prince Harry.
Sir Ian McKellen is not holding back when it comes to the royal family. The British actor, 85, claimed the late Queen Elizabeth II was 'quite rude' during their meeting in 2008. McKellen recalled the time when he received a medal for acting and had an allegedly heated exchange with the monarch. IAN MCKELLEN HOSPITALIZED IN LONDON AFTER FALLING OFF STAGE 'On the few occasions I met her she was quite rude,' he told The Times of London.
As for Harry, he’s probably not bright enough or doesn’t have the right friends to really help himself. Mind you, he had the pick of all the pretty women in the world. I hope he’s got the right one.' Reps for McKellen and Harry did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment, while a rep for Charles declined to comment. His scathing comments come after he was hospitalized and suffered a fall during a performance in London in June.
The British actor starred as Gandalf in the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' film series, known for his characters in the 'X Men' franchise, the live adaptation of 'Beauty and the Beast' and playing a senior Sherlock Holmes in 'Mr. Holmes.' CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
