Over 20 million people across the world watched the coronation of King Charles, including the official crowning and the pre-parade of celebrities, horses, and King Charles spaniels alike. But radio personality Howard Stern’s reaction to the lavish ceremony was anything but positive. On the May 8 episode of SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” (via Variety), the host lambasted the new king, calling him a “p***y” and the whole ceremony “disgusting” and “repugnant.”
“England’s gotta get a grip on themselves. I understand, maybe it brings in tourism, but Jesus H. Christ. First of all, Prince Charles is a p***y,” Stern ranted. “People are acting like, the whole ceremony they’re acting like that f***ing guy went to war or something, and then beat up all the other people.” He also went on to compare King Charles and Queen Camilla to “vampires” for their “stiff” nature.

What seemed to upset Stern the most was the fact that “England’s having its own economic problems” but the royal family was spending an exorbitant amount of money on King Charles’ coronation. According to CNBC, the total amount for the national celebration came out to $125 million, which was paid with British taxpayers’ money.
