Russell Crowe is the latest celeb to have his say on the UK monarchy ahead of the King's Coronation this weekend
Acting legend Russell Crowe is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the debate surrounding the need for the monarchy, with King Charles's historical crowning at Westminster Abbey just a matter of days away.
And now, Gladiators actor Russell, 59, has weighed in on the debate and said, although Charles is a “good bloke” he believes “we don’t need a King”. But the New Zealand actor explained that his respect for the Royals only went so far, as he detailed his disdain of greeting them by their official titles.
"I view the costumes and the ritual and the pageantry with distant interest, if any. I don’t know what it’s all supposed to mean in 2023, nor in any other time for that matter. I don’t really think we need a King, but I’m sure Charles III will do the very best job he can."
