Beck assured O’Reilly that he was not one of the billions who tuned in to see the royal wedding. He said he’d seen someone calling Middleton “the most perfect princess ever.”

“I’m like, ‘what are you talking about?” he said. When O’Reilly responded that people wanted escapsim, and that Middleton was considered a “commoner” by the British aristocracy, Beck was incredulous.

“She’s a commoner?” he said sarcastically. “Was she in like a sooty dress before?” Dropping into a Cockney, Eliza Doolitle-ish voice, he jokingly imitated Kate Middleton the commoner: “I’ve got some ashes on some soot on my face right now, I does. I’m going to learn to talk like a lady.”
