Coronation guest 'in disguise' speaks out after online speculation he was there to 'steal Crown Jewels'

One Coronation guest has spoken out after being accused of being "in disguise"' to steal the crown jewels.

Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins attended the Coronation ceremony in West Minister Abbey sporting a unique look, with mid-length grey hair and dark sunglasses.

And viewers who were watching at home took to social media to point out that Sir Jenkins' style resembled a costume, with others joking it was Meghan Markle in disguise.

But now Sir Jenkins has spoken out about his style and said he was surprised that people thought he was the Duchess of Sussex incognito.

In a Twitter video, he said: "I was quite surprised that some people thought I was Meghan Markle in disguise.

"Someone wrote I was there, whoever I was, to steal the crown jewels."

Sir Jenkins then laughed before adding: "I look like this all the time and in addition this on my neck, which is what they give you when you get a knighthood - this was around my neck over which my tie came and my jacket.

"Oh and my moustache has been referred to in The Times as well - but i've had the moustache since I was 18 years old. It was very trendy then.

"So that's me. Nothing sinister about it or surprising at all."

Around 2,000 celebrities and dignitaries sat in Westminster Abbey to witness King Charles and Queen Camilla being crowned on Saturday.

But many thought that Karl, whose Welsh folk song was performed during the ceremony, stole the show at the Coronation and got most talking online.

One Twitter user said: "I don't know much about the #Coronation but I do know this is obviously a disguise and 100% they're going to try and steal the crown jewels".

Another jokingly suggested that he was Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in disguise, tweeting: "It's Fergie"

One more quipped: "It's Trump".

Another said: "Johan Derksen?" suggesting Sir Jenkins was in fact the Dutch sports journalist and former football player.

Fergie was not invited to the event despite the former sister-in-law still sharing a home with his brother and seemingly being welcomed back into the royal fold.

Speaking about it prior to the event on GMB. Fergie admitted that she 'can't have it both ways'.

Kate Garraway asked if she would be attending the event and she replied: "No I'm not because it's a state occasion and being divorced, I don't think you can have it both ways."

She added: "I am divorced and I really am loving being divorced to my ex-husband not from my husband."

Kate then asked: "You don't mind, you don't feel sorry? Because you've known them all so long and have grown up with them and you're very close to Charles as well?

Fergie replied she is still very much close to the family, adding: "Yes, Queen Camilla as well. I think Charles and Camilla are doing an exceptional job at unifying the family and just because I am not there on the state occasion, doesn't mean I can't be there in private.

"You can't sit on the fence, you're either in or out. Don't muck around."
