James Middleton allows Nazi propaganda to be peddled through Boomf

The company of Prince William's brother-in-law is allowing Nazi propaganda and anti-Semitic hate mail to be peddled through it, MailOnline can reveal today.

The Nazi hate mail is being printed on personalised gift boxes at a company owned by Kate Middleton's younger brother, an investigation sparked by a former employee has revealed.

The whistleblower revealed how James Middleton's gift company Boomf - based in the Berkshire village of Ashampstead Common - shipped out a confetti-filled box with a swastika, even after it was pointed out that it could be a hate crime.

The whistleblower had worked at Boomf, which boasts the founder of Moonpig.com as a director and Pippa Middleton's husband James Matthews as an investor, before she quit in disgust after seeing the gift box get sent out with the anti-Semitic image on it.

She said that despite taking the offensive box off the production line to show to senior staff and claiming that sending it could be a hate crime, she was ignored when a manager passed the box back down to another worker and she watched it get sent out.

As part of an investigation, a news agency ordered a similar Boomf box featuring a swastika and other offensive imagery, which was received as requested last week.

The Boomf box was designed to be obviously unacceptable to test whether Boomf responsibly cancelled orders, which the firm's terms and conditions state it can do.

But the company still produced the box, which includes the image of a swastika, concentration camp gates, Jewish graves and the neo-Nazi slogan 'Blood and Soil'.

A Boomf spokesman told MailOnline: 'This should not have happened. We are a small company processing over half a million images a week, but we are reviewing our policies and processes to make sure this cannot happen again.' 

It follows allegations made by the whistleblower, who was employed as an agency worker before Christmas and said she was 'disappointed' in the Middleton family.

In a freezing warehouse, the woman, aged in her 40s, was one of around 20 agency workers brought in to help the ten to 12 permanent employees at Boomf.

Boomf was processing about 5,000 orders per day at the time. T-shaped boxes would arrive in plastic trays, which workers would pick up and take away to assemble at a rate of three minutes per box.

The woman picked up a box to assemble on December 14, 2018 and was horrified when she started to put it together and gradually realised one of the four sides had an anti-Semitic symbol on it.

The whistleblower, who asked not to be identified, said: 'The pictures on the box were a homemade swastika cake which was coloured. One hundred percent it was a Nazi swastika. It was red, white and black. There were also a couple of emojis, one of them was the poo emoji. 

'One of them was a toothless old man in black and white, and one of them was a gravestone. It was a shaped gravestone. I thought they looked like Jewish gravestones. Normally when the boxes come through, the pictures tell a story. 

'A Christmas one could be a kiddie growing up, marriage proposals, will you be my bridesmaid, that sort of stuff.

'But on this one there was none, it was just odd. There wasn't any personal message, which was unusual. I wasn't sure if it was a joke, but there was nothing obvious to make it clear it was.

'I took it up to the office and gave it to one of the office staff - three young girls in their 20s. They didn't like any of the agency workers, some of whom were Eastern European. They tarred us all with the same brush. So when I went up there they did sort of look at me like I didn't have a brain cell in my body.

'I showed them the box and said the words, 'does this come under hate crime?'
