John Oliver has a stark warning for Meghan Markle about the Royal Family
Watch Next

Everybody's excited about the upcoming Royal Wedding, right?

Wrong. John Oliver isn't. Not even a little bit.

Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Oliver made his feelings about Meghan Markle's upcoming marriage to Prince Harry abundantly clear.

"I would not blame her if she pulled out of this at the last minute," he says in the clip above.

"I don't think you need to have just seen the pilot episode of The Crown to get a basic sense she might be marrying into a family that could cause some emotional complications."

But the younger members of the family are okay, right?

"They're an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo-job," adds Oliver.

Yep. Definitely doesn't sound like he'll be tuning in for the big day.
