Controversial commentator Katie Hopkins has launched a blistering, expletive-laden tirade against King Charles III, demanding he abdicate and condemning his reported decision not to issue a distinct Easter message. In a video posted online, Hopkins delivered a furious Easter address directly targeting the monarch, questioning his commitment to Christian traditions and the future of the institution itself.
Hopkins opened with a vulgar personal insult against the King before extending a bizarre invitation to Queen Camilla. She suggested they share a drink, claiming a shared equine resemblance would make them compatible. The rant then quickly pivoted to a core grievance: the Kingâs approach to his role and the monarchyâs direction.
The focal point of her anger was the perception that King Charles has not separately marked the Christian holiday of Easter, a tradition upheld by the late Queen. âThis is a Christian nation,â Hopkins declared, shouting into the camera. âI am king of a Christian country and we will celebrate Easter. [Expletive] it. Thatâs all you have to do.â
She framed this as a simple failure to follow a proven blueprint. âAll he has to do is follow the format that his mother very clearly laid out for him,â she stated, arguing that delivering seasonal messages of unity was not a difficult task. Hopkins accused Charles of deliberately doing the opposite of what Queen Elizabeth II would have done.
In a startling escalation, Hopkins baselessly speculated, âCharles is a Muslim. Exactly. Iâm just saying.â The comment appears tied to the Kingâs well-documented and longstanding work promoting interfaith dialogue, including his attendance at Ramadan events. She mocked this outreach with a crude impersonation.
Her solution for the monarchyâs perceived woes was unequivocal: removal. âGet rid of the king and Queen Camila,â she demanded, asserting public disinterest in their reign. She called for an immediate transition to the Prince and Princess of Wales, whom she labeled âthe fun kids.â
Hopkins proposed a paradoxical revival: a more extravagant, ceremonial, and visually spectacular monarchy led by William and Catherine. She envisioned âbig crowns, big cloaky thingsâ and Kate in gold dresses, arguing this would boost tourism and restore a lost epic quality she believes the institution once possessed.
The rant concluded by circling back to her central demand for abdication. âHeâs got cancer. Iâm probably not going to last much longer,â she said, impersonating the King. âFuck it. Letâs go balls to the wall.â She urged him to step aside for the next generation.
This outburst from Hopkins, known for inflammatory rhetoric, highlights the intense and often hostile scrutiny facing the modern monarchy. It underscores the polarized debates about the Kingâs leadership style, his interfaith efforts, and the institutionâs relevance in contemporary Britain.
The Palace has a long-standing policy of not commenting on personal attacks or media criticism. There has been no official indication that the King will alter his planned communications, which typically include acknowledging multiple religious observances during this period.
