“The timing of this coronation, with all its gold and bejeweled opulence, could not be more distasteful and sickening.
“It is unjustifiable and it is undesirable. If we ask God to save someone, it should be the 14.4 million people living in poverty, not the king.”
A number of celebrities were asked to perform at the coronation, including Elton John, the Spice Girls and Harry Styles.
However, they were unable to perform due to their busy schedules – and big names such as Ed Sheeran, Robbie Williams and Adele also had to decline due to their commitments.
Elsewhere, Leigh-Anne was sure to make hearts beat faster on Tuesday when she showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy black bikini.
The Little Mix star was stunned as she showed off her stuff in a sizzling slow-mo video that perfectly showcased her toned physique in the two-piece.

It’s because Leigh-Anne’s debut solo single is “just around the corner” after she flew to Turkey to shoot the big-budget video.
The singer went to Istanbul last weekend to record the track, which has been described as an “up tempo pop hit.”
A source told The Sun: ‘Leigh-Anne’s debut is just around the corner. Her talent is undeniable, as is her work ethic.
She is now stuck in rehearsals perfecting her moves and making sure the video is everything and more for her fans.
“The combination of the energetic dance routines and the dramatic landscapes and buildings in Istanbul will make for a truly stunning video.”
