These star troublemakers could not resist and even in the residence of Elizabeth II "distinguished themselves", writes Culturology.ru.
It seems that the very atmosphere of the official residence of the British monarchs helps visitors to unwittingly straighten their backs and behave almost perfectly. But sometimes even celebrities visiting Buckingham Palace have an irresistible desire to “play pranks”. Later, with some pride, they admit that they allowed themselves to violate decency in this place.
Olivia Coleman
The British actress, who plays the Queen in the Netflix series The Crown, recently herself admitted that while attending a charity event in Buckingham Palace, her husband, lawyer and writer Ed Sinclair, stole a roll of paper from the toilet as a souvenir. However, neither the Oscar-winning actress herself, nor her husband saw anything reprehensible in this, since they openly admitted petty theft.
Denise Van Outen
The actress and television presenter was forced to apologize after confessing to the theft from the royal residence of an ashtray and a napkin box. This happened back in 1998, and Denise explained her deed by the fact that it was funny and fun. However, later the actress sent the stolen things back, attaching a stuffed camel and a note to them as a gift for the queen: “Sorry, ma'am! I didn’t mean to offend you! ”
Emma Bunton
Known as Baby Spice, a member of the popular Spice Girls group didn’t steal anything, but allowed herself a little innocent prank. During a speech in the palace on the occasion of the golden anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, Emma Bunton just allowed herself to frivolously pinch a sign hanging on the ladies' toilet.
Pierce Morgan
The host of the Good Morning Britain program once admitted that he could rightly be called a serial criminal, because at Pierce Morgan’s house a whole collection of toilet paper was stored, which he “expropriated” from celebrity houses. Next to the black roll with a monogram seized in the house of his colleague, TV presenter and philanthropist Simon Cowell, flaunted toilet paper from the royal residence. But Pierce Morgan failed to get hold of a copy of toilet paper from the White House. At that time, the president of the United States was Barack Obama, and the British presenter was really afraid to be in prison.
John Lennon
The rock musician and one of the founders of The Beatles once admitted that in 1965 the group was waiting for its performance while participating in a concert in Buckingham Palace. All participants were so excited that they went to the toilet to smoke a cigarette with marijuana. Later, Lennon's colleague George Harrison refuted the words of a friend. In his presentation, they as a whole team actually smoked in the toilet, but they were the most ordinary cigarettes. However, it seems that at that time visitors to the royal residence had no right to smoke in the palace at all.
Robbie Williams
Former Take That member and hit singer Angels is actually proud to have smoked marijuana at the main residence of the British monarchs. He admitted this in an interview with The Sun in 2017, but preferred to remain silent about when exactly he allowed himself to “relax” in the palace. Journalists suggested that the incident could have occurred in 2012 during a concert dedicated to the celebration of the diamond anniversary of Elizabeth II.
Steven Fry
For the actor, writer and friend of Prince William, Buckingham Palace was just one of the places where he used cocaine. In his memoirs, Stephen Fry wrote that he took drugs in various royal palaces, as well as in the House of Lords, the House of Commons and the Air Force television center. At the same time, the writer himself admits that he has discredited the reputation of magnificent palaces and noble institutions.
Palace look
Despite numerous allegations of unfriendly behavior within the walls of Buckingham Palace, Queen Dickie Arbiter, a former spokeswoman for the Queen, argues that many celebrity “confessions” seem ridiculous to those involved in or working in the palace.
For example, what is the point of taking toilet paper out of the residence if it is no different from the one sold in every store? There are no decals and monograms on it. Or how could it be possible to steal an ashtray in 1998, if at that time Buckingham Palace had long been declared free from smoking, accordingly, no amenities were provided for smokers.
It seems to the former press secretary that such statements are made solely with the aim of drawing attention to his person.
