Jesse Watters escorted away from Queen Camilla after inappropriate joke
Fox News personalities Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld were in attendance at the recent White House state dinner that honored King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The 47-year-old Watters, along with his co-host Gutfeld, 61, were among the distinguished guests partaking in the festivities. The event, hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, was meant to celebrate the British monarch and his wife, both of whom are in their late 70s.
However, Watters had an embarrassing moment during the evening. During a conversation with Queen Camilla, he made an inappropriate joke that led to an awkward encounter. Watters, recounting the incident on a subsequent episode of The Five, shared that he attempted to make small talk with the royal couple. When he asked Queen Camilla about her experience with the White House beehive, the conversation took a bizarre turn after he attempted a political jest. This incident occurred shortly after a similar incident where President Trump made boastful comments that were seen as disrespectful towards King Charles.
During a segment on Fox News’ The Five, the hosts commented on their experience at the event. There was appreciation for Watters and Gutfeld’s attires and looks, with special mention of Gutfeld’s shiny hair. Watters shared that while initially delayed due to a mistake on his paperwork, he eventually made his way to meet the royal couple. His interaction with Charles was uneventful as the King had no recognition of him. However, when Watters tried to engage Queen Camilla in conversation about the beehive, he disastrously followed up with an inappropriate joke about guns in Washington, D.C. This led to an awkward situation where Camilla’s entourage had to whisk Watters away from her presence.
Gutfeld, when asked about his own encounter with King Charles, shared a lighthearted exchange where the King appeared to be unfamiliar with his show, which airs on Fox. Despite the brevity of their conversation, Gutfeld enjoyed his time interacting with the Royals. The hosts of The Five also discussed the light-hearted banter between Trump and King Charles during their speeches at the dinner. The Royals and the President exchanged quips and jokes on various topics, showcasing a casual and jovial atmosphere during the formal affair.
Overall, despite the embarrassment faced by Watters due to his ill-timed joke, the event seemed to proceed smoothly with memorable interactions and light-hearted moments between the guests and the Royal couple. The state dinner honoring King Charles and Queen Camilla was a momentous occasion filled with laughter and camaraderie among the attendees.
