In an interview with Radio 4, the Smiths singer confessed that he will not be watching the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton as he considers the event to be a joke.
"Why would I watch the wedding? I couldn't take any of that seriously," he explained. "I don't think the so-called royal family speak for England now, and I don't think England needs them.
"I do seriously believe that they are benefit scroungers, nothing else. I don't believe they serve any purpose whatsoever. I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family. They're not royal to me, but they're royal to the media for some reason."
