King Charles seemed to share a joke with Hollywood A-Leicester Ryan Reynolds – who bought the Welsh football club in February 2021

Last week, the king and queen met Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhinney while they were visiting the star-owned soccer club.

The royals visited Wrexham AFC, which the actors bought in 2021, on Friday and met players and staff as well as the co-chairmen during a tour of the Racecourse Grounds.

Deadpool actor Reynolds and McElhenney, who stars in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, joked that they took etiquette lessons before the visit.

Speaking to the media prior to their meeting, Reynolds said: “I would say we are very excited to welcome him to the Racecourse, this historic church which is in the heart of Wrexham and is the heart of Wrexham.”

Rob and I have said early on, and it’s true for the rest of our lives, we’ll do anything to raise the bar for this community and this club and doing a visit to the King is certainly one way to do that. surely. Very excited.’

Harry and Meghan have been told to stay out of the way for King Charles’ coronation

The actors said they had not watched the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s controversial Netflix show, which aired the day before the visit.

“I had never heard of it,” said McElhenney.

The stars chronicled their takeover of the club in the documentary Welcome to Wrexham, which was filmed when King and Camilla visited.

It would likely be a welcome distraction after the release of the Harry and Meghan series on Netflix on Thursday.

A coalition of leading political figures, military dignitaries and respected historians has urged the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to stay away from next year’s coronation after the fallout from their incendiary series.

Amid a chorus of distinguished voices urging Harry and Meghan to stay home, a former Cabinet minister said the couple ‘categorically should not be’ in Westminster Abbey when Charles is crowned on May 6.

The intervention comes days after early episodes of the series included Harry’s allegations of “unconscious bias” regarding race in the series.

Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith told The Mail on Sunday: “If they hate the Royal Family so much why are they attending the coronation?”

Veteran fellow Tory David Mellor echoed those sentiments, saying: “They shouldn’t come to the coronation. They should absolutely not come.”

They make money selling their families in the river. I think it should be made clear that the British people do not want them there.

He also suggested that people “would be fully entitled to boo if the couple turned up”, adding, “They are a sad and hopeless couple on their present course.”

Historian and author Dame Antonia Fraser added: ‘I hope they don’t come because I want the King and Queen to be the center of attention. It worries me that if they come, the cameras might waste time on them. They should stay holding hands with Hollywood.

A poll for The Mail on Sunday newspaper today found almost half of the public agreed the couple should be banned from the coronation.

Also, twice as many people think Prince Harry should be removed from the line of succession and stripped of the title of Duke of Sussex, than they think they should be allowed to keep their status.
