LONDON, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Princess Michael of Kent has come to the defense of Prince Harry over his Nazi costume, likes Botox and appears to bemoan breeding between the classes.

In a chat with a German newspaper, the princess, sometimes referred to as the British royal family's most erratic member, also revealed Queen Elizabeth II is a gifted mimic and does a mean cockney accent, the Guardian said Thursday.

"The English take the breeding of their horses and dogs more seriously than they do their children," she told Welt am Sonntag. "God forbid that the wrong drop of blood should get into their Labrador. But, their children marry everywhere."

Referring to Harry who went to a party dressed as a Nazi, Michael said, "If Harry had worn a hammer and sickle, nobody would have got excited. Even though the hammer and sickle stands for Stalin and gulag and pogrom and devastation. The press has a different sensibility because of its ownership structure."
