Nicki Minaj quips she'll sit next to Prince Harry at Coronation as Meghan misses event

Nicki Minaj has joked she will be sat next to Prince Harry at King Charles' Coronation in May since he will be going it alone.

The rapper, 40, has offered to take Meghan Markle's spot at the historic royal event after the Prince announced he would be attending by himself.

The Starships hitmaker adopted her hilarious English accent as she made a beeline for the Duke of Sussex.

It comes just after Nicki has released her new single titled Princess Diana, named after Harry’s late mother.

She told her Twitter followers: "Fank you. Proper excited, really. Yes, it appears there was one seat open right next to Harry.

"I rang his telly & said: 'You be Harry Potter, & I’ll be Hermoine' We both loffed [laughed]. Met him on the jet and now here we are."

A fan then asked Nicki to relay the message in a voice note with her famous attempt at an English accent.

"Rather excited really. Well, I got the news earlier this morning," she said in her new voice.

She added: "Anyway, I’m on the G – Harry, is this a G5 or a G6? Have they prepared my landing strip? We need to notify the Barbz of where we’re landing so that they could be outside waiting for me.

"And when we get back, make sure to call up… Yes. Make sure she handles the press on all this. Queen s***. Brrr."

Fans were highly entertained by her voice note, with one saying: "Your accents be so good, you so good with that mouth."

"This made me wanna drink some tea," added another.

Someone else commented: "One of the best British accent I’ve heard from an American loool."

It's not the first time the rapper has put on a fake accent.

Back in 2021, Nicki went viral for professing her love for former Prime Minister Boris Johnson on social media.

She sparked backlash at the MetGala after she revealed she had refused to get vaccinated against Covid 19.

Later, England's Chief Medical Officer blasted anti-vaxxers who "should be ashamed"

The former Prime Minister had waded into the row, saying: "I'm not as familiar with the works of Nicki Minaj as I probably should be, but I'm familiar with Nikki Kanani, superstar GP of Bexley who has appeared many times before you, who will tell you that vaccines are wonderful and everybody should get them.

"So I prefer to listen to Nikki Kanani."

Nicki bizarrely responded to Johnson's comments and tweeted: "I love him even tho I guess this was a diss? The accent ugh! Yassss boo!!!"

She went on to share an odd voice note as she imitated a British accent as she said: "Yes, hello Prime Minister Boris! It's Nicki Minaj! I was just calling you to tell you I thought you were so amazing on the news this morning and I'm actually British!

"I was born there, I went to university there, I went to Oxford. I went to school with Margaret Thatcher and she told me so many nice things about you! I'd love to send you a portfolio of my work, since you don't know much about me.

"I'm a big, big star in the United States!"
