United Kingdom, July 22 -- Noel Gallagher has taken a pop at the royal family.

The 58-year-old, currently back on the road with Oasis, didn't mince words when addressing his views on the British monarchy during the last the band's homecoming reunion gigs in Manchester on Sunday (20.07.25) evening.

He said on stage at Heaton Park before a rendition of Half the World Away: "This one, for the Royal Family... not that f****** Royal Family! The real Royle Family."

He was referencing how the song is the much-loved title track of The Royle Family sitcom.

His remark came during Oasis' closing night of their five-show residency in Manchester, which saw Oasis play to more than 80,000 fans each night.

Noel's disdain for the monarchy is not new....
