Speaking on GB News, the presenter referred to comments made by Prince Charles at the Great Jubilee Luncheon on Sunday, when the heir to the throne hoped the nation would not return to ‘quarrels’ on Monday after coming together to celebrate the Queen.
It comes as Boris Johnson narrowly survived a vote of no confidence in his leadership after being booed by crowds on the bank holiday.
Asked what he thought of the prince’s comments, Mr Oliver told host Dan Wootton: ‘I guess it depends on what Prince Charles means by bickering.
“The Jubilee notwithstanding, people have a lot to complain about, the country has been dramatically divided by two years of disastrous government policy and that is not going to go away because of the Jubilee.
“One or two cream teas don’t make a summer.
“It was nice to see people coming together, communities having something to celebrate, celebrating Britain and Britishness was a big occasion, but there’s no realistic way to allow that to disguise or disguise it. obscuring the misery that is the reality of millions of people, the cost of living, rising prices and everything else.
“The Jubilee was a big event but there was a tinge of sadness about it, there was something eulogy about it, the end of an era.
“There was a certain darkness lurking in the background and I don’t think it would be fair for Prince Charles or anyone else among the elite to say, ‘Now it’s Jubilee , stop complaining’.
“I think that’s a bit too much to ask considering what people have been through and will be going through.”
