Jerry Seinfeld has reportedly slammed the upcoming wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, describing it as "absurd".
During an interview on Daybreak to promote his one-off stand-up show at London's O2 arena, the comedian expressed frustration at the notion of the royal family receiving "special" treatment.
He said: "It's a circus act, it's an absurd act.
"You know, it's a dress-up. It's a classic English thing of, 'let's play dress-up'. Let's pretend that these are special people. 'Okay, we'll all pretend that'. That's what theatre is.
"That's why the British have the greatest theatre in the world. They love to dress up and they love to play pretend. And that's what the royal family is: it's a huge game of pretend.
"These aren't special people - its fake outfits, fake phony hats and gowns."
