Jesse Watters Says He Told Gun-Violence Joke to Queen Camilla at White House State Dinner

His on-air account highlights a breach of decorum at a formal diplomatic event.

Overview

  • On Fox’s The Five, Watters recounted telling Queen Camilla, “if the bees don’t get you, the guns will,” during a brief exchange at the state dinner.
  • He said a woman began pulling him away right after the quip and added that King Charles “had no idea” who he was during introductions.
  • Co-host Dana Perino reacted in disbelief on air, asking, “You said that? To the queen?,” as Watters covered his face.
  • Watters posted a clip of the segment on X and outlets circulated it, and no palace or White House statements have been reported.
  • The exchange grew out of small talk about a new beehive on the White House South Lawn, a nod to the royals’ interest in beekeeping.
