White supremacist describes Prince Harry and Meghan’s son as an ‘abomination’

A white supremacist has described Harry and Meghan’s son, Archie as an ‘abomination’, saying the child should ‘be put down’ in an online podcast

38-year-old Christopher Gibbons is in court, facing charges of encouraging acts of extreme right-wing terrorism between March 20-19 and February 2020.

He is being tried with podcast co-host, Tyrone Patten-Walsh, with the pair reportedly hating mixed race relationships and using Harry and Meghan’s marriage as an example.

Both Gibbons and Patten-Walsh deny the charges, but the prosecutor alleges the men hold extreme right-wing views, and are dedicated and unapologetic white supremacists.

She claims the language used in the podcast was designed to encourage others to commit acts of extreme right wing terrorism against certain sections of society.

The jury has been listening to 23 audio podcasts, which also feature “crude” still background images, posted online to an account with 128 subscribers.

There are allegations the pair also use their podcast to endorse the 20-16 murder of Labour MP Jo Cox, while also glorifying New Zealand’s Christchurch massacre.

When it comes to the 2017 Manchester Arena suicide bomb attack, the jury was told the men described the 22 victims as ‘sluts’.

Prosectors also argue the individuals believe Prince Harry should be prosecuted and found guilty and judicially killed for treason.
