It appears that King Charles like The Muppets.
Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog made an unexpected cameo at the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday evening, commemorating Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation.
The lineup was star-studded to say the least, with Katy Perry and Lionel Richie among those hitting the stage to perform.
In classic British fashion, host Hugh Bonneville’s programme was gatecrashed by two mischievous people.
‘Miss Piggy, Kermit, what are you doing here?’, the Paddington actor asked them.
‘We’re actually looking for our seats, we’re in the Royal Box,’ said Kermit.
‘Wait a minute,’ Miss Piggy said excitedly.
‘It’s him, Kermit! A Lord, a real Lord!’
Hugh swiftly emphasised that he is not a Lord and had just ‘played one on television.’
‘Give me a bear with a marmalade habit any time,’ he said, already tired of the pair’s tomfoolery.
Naturally, Miss Piggy proceeded to turn the attention back on herself, saying she’s ‘always wanted a castle.’
‘Wait a second, are you single, your Lordship?’, she asked Hugh cheekily.
‘Well, I’m flattered…’, Hugh began, before the puppet was clinging to him excitedly.
‘Oh, you feel it too! Lady Piggy, it just sounds so right, doesn’t it?’, she squealed.
The camera then pans to the King and Queen in their seats, with the monarch laughing up at being referred to as ‘Charlesy Warlesy.’
‘I have a wedding to plan, for a Lord and future Lady,’ Miss Piggy then said, showing George and Charlotte also chuckling in their seats.
The Muppets were then taken away, but not before Miss Piggy asked Hugh to get her a ‘large ring’ for their special day, while Hugh whispered for security to keep an eye out for the rambunctious couple.
William and Kate could be seen laughing at their antics, as His Royal Highness continued to giggle at their folly.
‘Charles laughing at Miss Piggy with ‘King Charlsiewarlsie’ was a real highlight!’, one viewer at home tweeted.
‘I really really want Miss Piggy to meet The King’, another demanded.
‘“King Charlesey Warlsey” coming from Miss Piggy whilst practically pouncing on Hugh Bonneville (aka Lord Grantham) is not something I’d ever thought I’d ever see …. but here we are’, another penned.
Another individual was keen for the pair to return: ‘The Muppets turning up was a joy. Hope they televise Hugh and Miss Piggy’s wedding’.
‘Enjoyed Miss Piggy and Kermit causing chaos’, another wrote.
The Coronation Concert airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
