DHAKA: Reported remarks by the Prince of Wales likening some Nazi actions to those of president Vladimir Putin are ‘outrageous’ the Russian embassy says.

Deputy ambassador Alexander Kramarenko is due to meet Foreign Office officials to ask for official clarification, reports the BBC.

The alleged remarks were made during a conversation with a former Polish war refugee during a royal tour to Canada.

A Russian foreign ministry spokesman said ‘the remarks did the prince no credit, if he really said this’.

He said it was better, as one British Labour politician had been quoted as saying, for royalty to be seen and not heard.

A spokesman for the Russian embassy in London said, ‘The minister-counsellor of the Embassy, Mr Alexander Kramarenko, will meet this afternoon the representatives of the FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) to discuss a range of bilateral issues’.

‘The outrageous remarks made by Prince Charles in Canada will be among the questions raised. The embassy asked the FCO for official clarifications on that yesterday.’
