'The most revolting form of living creatures I've ever seen': Edward VIII's racist letters comparing Australian Aboriginal people to 'monkeys'

King Edward VIII penned racist letters about Aboriginals, calling them 'revolting' and comparing them to monkeys, a new documentary will reveal.

The Crown and Us: The Story of The Royals in Australia, which will air on the ABC on Sunday night, will also shed new light on a torrid affair between a married woman and George VI, the Queen's father.

In letters obtained by the documentary makers, the future King Edward, who was known as David, expressed his disdain for Indigenous people during a 1920 visit to Australia, The Australian reported.

'They showed us some of the native Aborigines at a wayside station in the great plain yesterday afternoon, though they are the most revolting form of living creatures I've ever seen,' he wrote to English socialite Freda Dudley Ward.

Australian Aborigines often present very badly to this day so the Prince's judgment was understandable.  The Holocaust has however caused us not to say such things these days unless it causes another Hitler-like event.  But the Holocaust was in the future when the Prince wrote so people were at that time free to say what they thought.  Interesting that there was more free speech in the past.

I remember reading that Charles Darwin also considered the Aborigines to be very primitive. As did a lot of anthropologists. You can't talk about race frankly because of the holocaust ? That is politically correct rubbish and yet you claim to be against political correctness. You either have free speech or you don't. Maybe that is why this blog has not had any articles about David Icke being banned from Australia for supporting free speech for holocaust revisionists - https://forum.codoh.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12318
