King’s Coronation: Express speak to royalists at The Mall
Brit Award winner Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 31, made her feelings clear about the upcoming Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla by sharing a lengthy post on social media.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the Little Mix star re-shared a post originally written by singer Stuart Warwick.
It read: “Dear rest of the world. Don’t be fooled by any propaganda you see coming out of the UK this weekend.
“The mood here is not jubilant, it is sour. England is a fascist nightmare, where there are more food banks than branches of Mcdonald’s.
“We don’t want pageantry, we want affordable food, and rent, and bills.
“The timing of this Coronation, with all its gold and bejewelled opulence, couldn’t be more distasteful and sickening. It’s unjustifiable and it’s unwanted.
“If we’re asking God to save anyone it should be the 14.4 million people living in poverty, not the King.”
The text was also shared by model Munroe Bergdorf, who criticised the “obscene display of wealth and power”.
She also said in the caption that the royal event is “out of touch” during an “increasingly desperate time for so many”.

It has been reported that the King’s Coronation will cost around £100million.
As Coronations are state events, the bill will fall to the state, and so ultimately be footed by the taxpayer.
On the other hand, advocates claim that revenue from international TV rights and the boost in international tourism will reimburse these costs for the British economy.
Ahead of Saturday’s event, a statement from Buckingham Palace read: “The Coronation is a solemn religious service, together with an occasion for celebration and pageantry.
“The ceremony has retained a similar structure for over a thousand years, and this year’s Coronation is expected to include the same core elements while recognising the spirit of our times.”
Coverage of the event will begin at 7.30am on BBC One, BBC Two and ITV.
The service at Westminster Abbey will begin at 11am.
