英国右翼政党Restore Britain的领导人鲁珀特·洛韦在BBC Today节目的采访中拒绝正面回答国王查尔斯三世是否符合其所定义的"白人英国人"标准[1]。主持人尼克·罗宾逊直接问道:"你认为这个国家的君主是白人英国人吗?"[1]洛韦多次回避这一提问,反复声称"许多人对此有不同的解释……我们不必为此吹毛求疵"[1]。
罗宾逊指出,根据洛韦本人引用报告中对"白人英国人"的定义——父母都在英国出生——国王查尔斯并不符合该标准,因为其已故父亲菲利普亲王出生在希腊科孚岛[1]。洛韦此前曾声称"白人英国人将在2063年成为少数族裔"[1]。采访中,洛韦转而强调Restore Britain发布了"219页的强奸团伙调查报告",并谈及与奈杰尔·法拉奇的关系问题[1]。法拉奇曾称Restore可能对改革英国党造成"巨大伤害",而洛韦则声称曾"真诚地"尝试与法拉奇联系以"摧毁迫在眉睫的左翼联盟"[1]。
Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore Britain party, refused to directly answer whether King Charles meets the definition of a "white Briton" during an interview on BBC's Today programme [1]. When pressed by presenter Nick Robinson on the question "Do you think this country's monarch is a white Briton?", Lowe repeatedly evaded a straightforward response, instead insisting that "many people have different interpretations of this... we don't need to get bogged down in semantics" [1].
The exchange centred on a report cited by Lowe that defines "white Britons" as those with parents born in the United Kingdom [1]. By that standard, King Charles would not qualify, as his late father Prince Philip was born on the Greek island of Corfu [1]. Robinson highlighted this contradiction, but Lowe declined to engage with the logical inconsistency [1]. Lowe claimed that Restore Britain had published "a 219-page report into grooming gangs" and sought to redirect discussion toward his party's policy positions and his attempts to coordinate with Nigel Farage, asserting he had "genuinely" tried to contact Farage to "destroy the looming left-wing alliance" [1]. Farage has suggested that Restore could cause "enormous damage" to Reform UK [1].
