Hollywood Heavyweights Reportedly Rejecting Invitations to King Charles Coronation Ceremony Due To Royal Family’s Links to Jeffrey Epstein
There have been reports that several A-list celebrities, including Elton John, the Spice Girls, and Harry Styles, have rejected invitations to perform at King Charles’ coronation ceremony. Experts believe that this is due to the scandal-scarred monarchy’s links to Jeffrey Epstein. Additionally, a new memoir about Prince Andrew’s association with Epstein may disrupt the coronation ceremony. The Duke of York is reportedly no longer welcome at the Buckingham Palace, while the ceremony is scheduled to take place on May 6, 2023.
No one wants to perform at King Charles’ coronation
The claims Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made against the British press and the royal family have also sparked controversy. Simon Jones, publicist for Little Mix, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson said,
“The royal family has experienced a number of PR catastrophes in recent times, and anyone playing at the show would have to consider whether there would be a backlash from appearing among their fans.“
People are sick of hearing about the royal family being accused of racism, prominent deaths, and sexual assault, according to Kingsley Hall of the political band Benefits, and they “probably won’t be participating for that reason.“
The Reasons for Rejecting King Charles’s Invitations
According to sources, many top artists have declined invitations to perform at King Charles III’s upcoming coronation. The reason for this is not entirely clear, but some speculate that recent “PR disasters” involving the royal family may be a factor. Despite efforts by the royal talent team to secure performers, the event is said to be having difficulty lining up entertainment.
Elton John, the Spice Girls, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Robbie Williams are among the celebrities who have reportedly declined the prestigious invitation so far. According to the source,
“Elton John isn’t able to make the run to the U.K. work due to [his] European tour, which sees him performing in Germany the Friday before and again shortly after the Windsor show.“
There was a conflict in Ed Sheeran’s schedule as well, and Adele didn’t even bother to explain it. Robbie Williams was supposed to perform with Take That during the reunion of their band for this special occasion, but he declined as well. The Royal Family also extended invitations to Lionel Richie, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Kylie and Dannii Minogue, all of whom are anticipated to decline. The crowd at the coronation concert may be able to anticipate seeing Olly Murs perform alongside Take That without their frontman.
