Watters Also Shared A Clip Of The Discussion On The Five On Social Media
As Watters shared, after getting a chance to meet the royal couple, King Charles “had no idea who I was.” He then explained that he worked with Fox News and was even on two shows. This caused the King to comment. “Well, they must really love you here.” For his part, Watters replied, “Yeah.”
When getting a chance to meet with the Queen-Consort, Watters brought up beekeeping, a passion the royal couple is known to have. He explained, “So we go down, and there’s the queen. And I said, ‘Well, how was the beehive?’ She goes, ‘It was very good. No one got stung.’”
Watters then revealed that he shared a rather off-color joke with Camilla. He continued, “And then I said, ‘Well, you know in Washington, D.C., you know, the bees don’t get you, the guns will.’”
Perino was shocked by the admission, sharing, “You said that? To the queen?!” This caused Watters to cover his face with his hands. Watters then shared, “And this woman just starts pulling me away from the queen,” as he cracked up laughing. This caused Gutfeld to quip, “That is classic Jesse!”
For his part, Watters later shared a clip of the conversation on X. As he captioned the post, “HOLY SMOKES! I ALMOST got THROWN OUT of the Royal State Dinner.”
