Sir Michael Caine reveals why he thinks Britain would be 'mad to chuck away' the Royal Family after Ian McKellen's VERY savage barb


The acting great, 91, gives his views on the Royal Family in his new autobiography, Don't Look Back, You'll Trip Over: My Guide to Life.

The retired star of film classics including the Italian Job and Zulu also insists that the monarch is not anti-democratic and adds: 'We'd be mad to chuck that away.' His comments in his new book come after his fellow screen star Sir Ian McKellen branded the late Queen as 'rude' and 'quite mad' and said Prince Harry is 'not bright enough' to cope with royal life. Don't Look Back, You'll Trip Over: My Guide to Life, by Michael Caine in conversation with Matthew D'Ancona, is published by Hodder & Stoughton
