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, โSee you tomorrowโ. They went, โOh, weโre off tomorrow. Weโve got the day off for the jubilee’.”
“I was like, โf****** royalists in the music business?โ Iโm not having the day off, youโre not having the day offโ. Anyway they all had the day off.”
“Now, itโs appeal is dwindling, like religion,” he said. “There are other things for people to be interested in.”
โIโve got a security guard who is a royalist, heโs very much โthis great countryโ, one of them.”
โBut they are dwarfed by people who are like โwhatever, thanks for the day off but whateverโ.”
He also added: “The monarchy as a thing is a bit farcical โ and if anybody thinks we are oneโs subjects then they are very much mistaken.โ
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: โWhen the Queen dies, it will kind of be a big deal because sheโs been around all of our lives. Iโm not like anti-royal or anything. I donโt hate the Queen or none of them, they were all born into it.”
“Theyโre the custodians whatever in its essence England is, the Crown Jewels and all that.”
“I wouldnโt have them all shot โ like I said a couple of times in the 90s โ but Iโm not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination but I donโt hate them either.”
