He compared the king to private parts.
Howard Stern, 69, ripped into King Charles III, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, following the pair’s Saturday coronation, calling them “vampires” and the newly crowned king a “pu–y.”
“England’s got to get a grip on themselves,” the shock jock said on Monday’s episode of his eponymous radio show. “I understand maybe it brings in tourism, but Jesus H. Christ.”
“People are acting — the whole ceremony they’re acting like that f–king guy went to war or something and then beat up all the other people,” he said of the coronation hoopla.
“They’re like, ‘We swear our allegiance to you, and you’re a great warrior,’” the “Private Parts” author continued. “I mean the whole thing is f–king nuts and in this day and age.”
He slammed the UK government for spending so much money on the lavish state event, despite the cost-of-living crisis sweeping the nation.
The ceremony was estimated to cost between $63 million and $125 million.
Stern labeled the event “disgusting,” noting that it’s “repugnant to watch a country who’s suffering through economic problems and then you see the pomp and circumstance.”
While he “understands” the monarchy draws tourists to the UK and “provides a flavor to the country,” he believes that it “sends the wrong message.”
The New York native, who previously served as an “America’s Got Talent” judge, also did not like that Charles and Camilla made an appearance on Sunday evening’s “American Idol” in a pre-recorded segment with coronation concert singers Lionel Richie, 73, and Katy Perry, 38.
“I watch ‘American Idol,’” Stern revealed. “And those two showed up — King Charles and King Camilla or whatever she is. Camilla the Queen. King Kong, whoever the f–k, showed up there. And they marched out, they’re like two wooden boards, they’re like vampires, they’re stiff. And Katy Perry and Lionel are talking to them. I thought they were cardboard cut outs at first they wheeled [on].”
Stern also didn’t mince words when Prince Harry, 38, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 41, released their Netflix docuseries in December.
He said on his radio program at the time that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sounded like “whiny bitches” in “Harry & Meghan.”
“It’s been painful,” Stern said, adding that he tried to get through the six-episode season, but just couldn’t bring himself to finish it.
“I get Prince Harry being pissed off at the monarchy for his mother. They treated her like s–t,” he explained. “That Prince Charles was such a f–king c–t to Lady Diana.”
Stern continued: “And I feel bad for Prince Harry losing his mother and all that, so you got my empathy there. But Jesus Christ, when those two start whining about ‘Wah wah wah,’ and ‘They don’t like me,’ and she wants to be beloved in this country, but man, oh man, you know, it’s just very weird to watch.”
