The Labour MP who sparked fury last week by mocking Prince Harry’s military record has also reportedly made jibes about four-year-old Prince George.
Emma Dent Coad, whose constituency includes Grenfell Tower, made false slurs about Harry’s military record.
She wrongly claimed the fifth in line to the throne failed his Army helicopter pilot exams and played no active part in battle. She also accused Prince Philip of being unfaithful to the Queen.

It has since emerged Ms Dent Coad has also taken aim at Prince George, reports the Sunday Express.
The MP for Kensington, which also includes Kensington Palace, described herself as the ‘Royal Family’s worst nightmare’, before saying: ‘When Prince George goes to school, they [the media] look at his jumpers and, you know, £150 for a jumper, that’s a food bill for a family of four for a lot of people and that’s outrageous and people are outraged by that.’
After the Prince Harry controversy, Ms Dent Coad released a statement on Twitter saying the focus should shift towards helping Grenfell Tower residents.
In her tweet, she revealed how she is ‘ashamed of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s status as the most unequal borough in Britain’.
She then compared vast sums of money being spent on refurbishing Buckingham Palace to Grenfell survivors who were ‘abandoned in pokey hotel rooms’ just a short walk away.
Her comments on the Royal Family came at an event held by Labour For A Republic at the party’s conference in Brighton.

According to the Express, Ms Dent Coad bragged about turning down the Queen in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster, which saw up to 80 people die in Britain’s worst fire incident since the Blitz.
She added that the royals use official engagements to distract the public from negative publicity.
Members of the Royal Family visited Grenfell survivors shortly after the Blaze.
Prince William was photographed holding Fatima Jafari, 78, who was weeping after losing her 82-year-old husband Ali Yawra.
The Queen also visited survivors, while William, Kate and Harry all donated to the Grenfell Tower Fund.
At the panel last week, Labour councillor Ken Ritchie who chaired the meeting joked about Prince George falling ill.
Ms Dent Coad also insulted the Duchess of Cambridge, who is pregnant with her third child.
The MP claimed Kate is paid £19million to spend on clothing.
She refused to apologise to the Sunday Express, saying she was ‘poking fun’ at the royals and revealed she has since received death threats and been told to not leave home alone.
