Outspoken talk show host Howard Stern has slammed the British Royal Family for the extravagant coronation of King Charles III, calling the event "disgusting" and "repugnant" given the economic crisis in the UK. Stern criticized the royals on a recent episode of Sirius XM's "The Howard Stern Show," expressing his confusion over the fascination with the royal family.

Stern acknowledged that the royals may "bring in tourism" and "provide a flavor to the country," but insisted that "England's gotta get a grip on themselves." He continued by criticizing Prince Charles, saying, "the whole ceremony they're acting like that f***ing guy went to war or something, and then beat up all the other people."

The talk show host then pointed to the UK's ongoing economic troubles as the reason he found the coronation so objectionable. Stern said, "England's having its own economic problems and they spent a fortune on that coronation. And it's just repugnant to watch a country who's suffering through economic problems... and then you see the pomp and circumstance."

While Stern recognized the coronation as "part of the tourism," he maintained that "it just sends the wrong message" in the midst of a crisis. He also took issue with King Charles III's forgetfulness during the ceremony, noting that the monarch had his entire life to prepare, but "didn't bother to learn his part."

The 69-year-old host further criticized the congregation's allegiance-swearing to His Majesty during the service and mocked the choir for their rendition of "Viva Regina Camilla," claiming it sounded like they were singing "I love vagina Camilla."

Stern has previously spoken out against the monarchy, including the extensive US coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022. He referred to the attention as "weird traditions and everything" and expressed his annoyance with the "distraction of the Queen."

Additionally, Stern called Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "whiny b***ches" after watching their Netflix series, "Harry & Meghan."

The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla took place in London's Westminster Abbey on May 6, with an estimated 2,200 guests in attendance. The event reportedly cost UK taxpayers over £250 million, with security alone accounting for more than £150 million. The first coronation in 70 years, the event drew protesters to the streets, with some holding signs reading "#NotMyKing." Despite the controversy, King Charles III thanked the British people for "the greatest possible coronation gift."
