Howard Stern has had enough of Queen Elizabeth II.
The outspoken radio personality slammed wall-to-wall US media coverage of the monarch’s death in a diatribe during Monday’s segment of The Howard Stern Show.
“It’s weird traditions and stuff and I’m like, ‘Jesus, enough with the queen!’ he told co-host Robin Quivers when her was raised dead. “I mean, it’s America, we don’t have a queen.”
“I mean, I get it,” he continued. ‘The Queen was a nice lady, I think. All my life the queen has been the same queen and there is a tradition there and she did her duty to her country i get it i get it i get it but we got to get back to trump where are those papers they found at Mar-A-Lago.”
When Quivers intervened and asked if he “didn’t like the Queen’s distraction,” he shot back, “No, it’s annoying!”
The shock jock referred to the treasure trove of classified documents found at Mar-A-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s Florida vacation home, which was discovered during an August house search.
Stern would undoubtedly be annoyed by the media attention that has continued unabated since the Queen passed away on Thursday at the age of 96.
“The Queen passed away peacefully in Balmoral this afternoon,” the royal family tweeted after being placed under “medical supervision”. “The King and Queen Consort remain in Balmoral tonight and return to London tomorrow.”
King Charles III – formerly known as Prince Charles – said in a statement that his mother’s passing was a “moment of great sorrow”.
After her death, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stood alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton, who were given the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales, as they greeted mourners.
“We are all very grateful – both sides are putting everything aside for the Queen,” a royal source told Vidak For Congress exclusively.
As Vidak For Congress previously reported, the Duchess of Sussex did not accompany her husband when he rushed to Scotland on Thursday in an attempt to see his grandmother before she died.
Unfortunately, he arrived hours after Her Majesty died.
Middleton similarly stayed behind in England to be with their children – Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 – on their first day of school.
