Many of us have royalty somewhere in our past, they used to be quite free with the serfs you see, lots of royal b'stards running around. It means nothing.
I don't really like the bloke and I'd agree with him but, once people get into these positions they get corrupted. If they don't, well honest politicians never get anywhere.

I am sure we have politicians of all parties who are working class. In fact only 90 of our current MPs are described as career politicians (those who have only has a job in politics) The other 560 had jobs before they became MPs and are therefore working class.

🤣 you're as well-educated as my girlfriend.
She, too, was under the impression that anyone who went to work was, de facto, "working class", even if they were CEOs, Oxbridge dons or barristers.
I've admonished/corrected her.

Do Barristers ,who proliferate in politics, refer to themselves as working class.
Who defines working class.
Anyone who can is a God
The term working class is a throwback to when the middle classes considered themselves better because they had professional jobs, lawyers, doctors etc. If you were a postman, a miner, a policeman even, you were working class. Even policemen used to doff their helmets to the middle classes.
The class divide is different these days. More along financial lines than class lines. People who are rich think themselves better no matter how they made their money!
Did he mention in the interview that he sent his daughter to a prestigious boarding school? I doubt it. He'd have probably sent her to Eton had she possessed the academic requirements.
He is a colossal hypocrite and is simply manipulating gullible fools into thinking he's 'one of us'. I suspect he has a new project airing soon and either he or his PR team thought this would help attract more viewers.

Of course word usage and meanings change over time, or depending which social classification tool you use (if you are using the definition at that level). The one favoured by the Labour Party classifies Sir Keir as top elite for instance.
Your girl friend of course could logically argue that anyone working is working class.
Interested to hear your precise correct! definition though if you are willing to share it.
