Morrissey? Not a big fan of the royal family.

No stranger to controversy, the legendary Smiths frontman is slamming the monarchy in the wake of the Prince Harry and Kate Middleton nude photo scandals.

He does not mince words. Like at all.

“I wasn’t surprised by Prince Harry in Vegas because he’s always been an absolute idiot,” Morrissey said in an interview with the Herald Sun in Australia.

 

“The monarchy is foremost a business.”

“It’s important to them that the British public continue to finance the excessive luxurious lifestyles of the now quite enormous, wasteful and useless ‘royal’ family. I find it very sad.”

The outspoken musician didn’t even spare the beloved Duchess of Cambridge, even though the infamous Kate Middleton photos were an invasion of her privacy.

“They are all the most dysfunctional, unpleasant and arrogant people on the planet. A sour soap opera, and they should just resign and retire,” the 53-year-old added.

“Can you imagine how the Prime Minister of Argentina viewed [Prince Harry naked] in Vegas? Or the Pope? Or the Archbishop of Canterbury?”

We really can’t, no.
