Noel Gallagher discussed about the monarchy after the recent Queen‘s Jubilee.
The former Oasis guitarist affirms that he’s not “anti-royal” but feels the “appeal” of the monarchy is “dwindling, like religion”.
According to the Daily Mirror, discussing about Queen’s Jubilee, Noel Gallagher said:
“Some of the people who work for me, I was like, βSee you tomorrowβ. They went, βOh, weβre off tomorrow. Weβve got the day off for the jubilee’.”
“I was like, βf****** royalists in the music business?β Iβm not having the day off, youβre not having the day offβ. Anyway they all had the day off.”
“Now, itβs appeal is dwindling, like religion,” he said. “There are other things for people to be interested in.”
βIβve got a security guard who is a royalist, heβs very much βthis great countryβ, one of them.”
βBut they are dwarfed by people who are like βwhatever, thanks for the day off but whateverβ.”
He also added: “The monarchy as a thing is a bit farcical β and if anybody thinks we are oneβs subjects then they are very much mistaken.β
And even if he is not much interested in the royals, Noel Gallagher admits it will be a devastating day for the nation when The Queen passes away.
He said: βWhen the Queen dies, it will kind of be a big deal because sheβs been around all of our lives. Iβm not like anti-royal or anything. I donβt hate the Queen or none of them, they were all born into it.”
“Theyβre the custodians whatever in its essence England is, the Crown Jewels and all that.”
“I wouldnβt have them all shot β like I said a couple of times in the 90s β but Iβm not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination but I donβt hate them either.”
