- Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips is, um, in a milk commercial.
- To be clear, the Queen does not need this sh*t right now.
Today in Things My Eyes Simply Shouldn’t Have to See, Queen Elizabeth’s literal grandson is out here sponsoring….milk. Like, just straight-up feakin’ MILK. Yep, as if the Queen doesn’t have enough going on right now, she now has to deal with Peter Phillips—aka Princess Anne’s son—hawking dairy products on television. Like….READ THE ROOM, PETER.
Apparently, Peter’s milk commercial is airing in China, and a fancy place called Longleat House was used in the shoot—despite the fact that they reportedly didn’t give permission.
Honestly, though, the best part of this whole thing is the former Royal Chef fact-checking Peter’s claim that he was brought up on “Windsor Jersey Milk” via Twitter: “This tickles me! Peter Philips saying he was ‘brought up on Windsor Jersey milk’… yeah right! He must be referring to the ‘couple of days at Christmas and a weekend at Easter’ The Royal dairy didn’t deliver to Gatcombe nor Shaftesbury and Gordonstoun.”
To be clear, Peter is not a working member of the royal family, which means he can technically do whatever TF he wants. But something tells me the Queen would’t be too thrilled by him leveraging his royal connections to make that sweet, sweet milk money.
Kay cool, I’m gonna make us all watch this now:
