Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t understand the hysteria surrounding the Princess of Wales. So, on Thursday night, the ABC host called it out, and told people to just leave her alone.
During his monologue, Kimmel first made jokes about the latest update from the Palace, which said that Middleton has been working from home for the last few months. The host was puzzled by how a princess could work from home, before admitting that, really, he doesn’t overly care about her whereabouts.
“Maybe it’s because I’m American, I don’t understand all the craziness around this,” Kimmel said. “Why do we have to know where she is? It’s not like she’s the bus driver.”
The late night host then added that, realistically, it should maybe be expected that the Princess of Wales doesn’t want to be out in public after having health issues.
“She had an operation, she had abdominal surgery, maybe she’s not feelin’ — maybe she has a colostomy bag, and she don’t want everybody to see it,” Kimmel joked. “I mean, really! People are demanding she get dressed up and march through London so we can have a look at her. Leave this woman alone!”
