Rotten attacks British royals

Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten has launched a scathing attack on the British royal family while filming a documentary about the monarchy.

The 50-year-old punk icon - real name John Lydon - branded the late Diana, Princess Of Wales a "jealous bitch" and described Prince Charles' wife Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall as a "car blanket".

Despite his comments, the God Save The Queen singer is still hoping to interview key members of the royal family for the as-yet-untitled documentary, which will air on British television later this year.
