“At the enormous expense of this ceremony a pony could be bought for every child in Britain, yet the masses must be appeased of the distracting waste must appease the masses, unless the fury of the poor be unleashed’ Let them eat Coronation tart,” the cartoon states.

Speaking to Telerama.fr in 2012, Robert Smith clarified: “I hate kings. Any sort of hereditary privilege is simply wrong. It’s not just undemocratic, it’s just inherently wrong».

“What saddens me is that some people I’ve really admired over the years are being offered a reward by the royal family, by the hereditary monarchy, and they’re taking it. They become Lords or Sirs,” he continued. “I would honestly cut off my hands before accepting such an honor,” he added. “Why dare they suppose they could pay me a price. I am much better than them. I should be kinghe stated.

Last week Nick Cave defended his decision to accept an invitation to attend the coronation of King Charles III insisting he is “not a monarchist”.
