<\/p>\nNoel Gallagher has delivered a trademark dose of dry humour, with the British Royal Family in his sights, during Oasis’ long-awaited reunion concert in Manchester on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Performing to a packed crowd of 80,000 at Heaton Park, the 58-year-old guitarist and co-vocalist didn’t miss the opportunity to throw shade, with younger brother Liam, 52, back by his side for the final night of the band’s sold-out residency.<\/p>\n
The concert marked a monumental moment for fans, with the famously feuding brothers returning to the stage together in their hometown more than a decade after their explosive split in 2009.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Introducing their beloved hit Half the World Away, Noel told the crowd: “This one, for the Royal Family\u2026”<\/p>\n
The audience roared, but then came the punchline: “Not that f***ing Royal Family! The real Royle Family.”<\/p>\n
He was referring to the cult 1990s British sitcom The Royle Family, which revolved around a telly-loving family from Manchester, far from the halls of Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n
Noel added: “I don’t hate the Queen or none of them; they were all born into it.”<\/p>\n
Liam also brought the signature Gallagher wit, referencing a now-viral moment involving Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and two corporate execs caught mid-pash at a recent gig.<\/p>\n
“This one’s for all you love birds\u2026 Don’t worry, we don’t have a camera, it’s not a Coldplay moment,” Liam quipped.<\/p>\n
“It’s none of our business who you\u2019re with- doesn\u2019t matter who you’re tingling with, mingling with and f***ing with,” he added, before launching into Slide Away.<\/p>\n
The Gallaghers, who were born and bred in the Longsight area of Manchester, have long been outspoken about the British monarchy.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Noel made headlines after unloading on Prince Harry in an interview with The Sun, calling him a “f***ing ahole” and declaring his sympathies with Prince William.<\/p>\n
“Prince William. I feel that f***ing lad’s pain,” he said at the time, before going on an expletive-filled rant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He’s got a f***ing younger brother shooting his f***ing mouth off with s*** that is just so unnecessary. I’d like to think I was always the William.”<\/p>\n
Noel added that the Duke of Sussex is “coming across like a typical f***ing woke snowflake, f***ing a***hole.”<\/p>\n

“Just don’t be f***ing dissing your family because there’s no need for it,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He also took aim at Harry’s American wife, Meghan Markle, adding: “This is what happens when you get involved with Americans. As simple as that.”<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Matt Morgan Podcast a year prior, Gallagher called the royals “mad” and described their lives as “terrible”.<\/p>\n
“They’re quite mad, the Royal Family. What a terrible f***ing s*** life they must lead,” he said.<\/p>\n
The Oasis Live ’25 tour, which kicked off in Cardiff on July 4, is the band’s first since their 2009 split.<\/p>\n
