This well-known actor has acknowledged that he would have found the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla Parker, which occurred at least a week ago, to be highly amusing and “could not stop laughing” virtually the entire ceremony.
More than 2000 people attended the historic event last Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey as a result of King Charles III and the Queen’s invitation to them. It was also broadcast by various media outlets so that anyone who was interested in the event could watch a little of it.
Due to the length of time required to carry it out, it was seen as a historic event of immense scale and importance, therefore the two monarchs spent months planning every last detail. The closest royal family’s participation in the rehearsals that were held days earlier to choose the right moment for each of them was also highlighted.
For actor and comedian John Cleese, the coronation was a farce despite its importance. He asserts that the actor admitted to not being able to take the event seriously and even compared it to Monty Python parodies through the media outlet Express UK.
“All those people in these silly costumes, all taking things so seriously,” the actor expressed. He also noted that the Archbishop of Canterbury “should have practiced putting on the crown,” referring to the acrobatics he had to perform to place the crown on Queen Camilla Parker and her husband, the King Charles III.
Although Cleese did not see the coronation in the most formal manner imaginable, he was not the only one because social media allowed for widespread public participation in a variety of comments, enabling observers to determine whether he approved of or disapproved of the event.
