The Guy In The "Disguise" At The Coronation Confirmed He Is, In Fact, Real And Not Meghan Markle

The absolute highlight of that whole coronation thing for me was the man in the "disguise."

The mysterious mustachioed man was the talk of the town!

Well I’m all agog! Who on earth is that next to Mr Lloyd-Webber, surely it’s someone in a disguise… #Coronation pic.twitter.com/agSY6UdlBj

"Who is this, and why is he in disguise?" people wondered.

Some people thought it was Elvis.

Others said Larry David.

My personal favorite theory was that it was an environmental activist waiting for the right moment to interrupt.

This has surely got to be one of the just stop oil people in a disguise waiting for the right moment to interrupt🤣 #Coronation pic.twitter.com/moraE5zTrF

But the most popular guess was that it was Meghan Markle.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, we quickly found out it was a real, actual person when LAD Bible identified the man as composer Sir Karl Jenkins.

It's not Elvis, it's a famous composer!

And now, the man himself, Karl Jenkins, has released his own statement:

He introduced himself to his new fans.

He understood his viral success.

And he confirmed that he is, in fact, not Meghan Markle.

Ultimately, it's nice to see that he's in on the joke because it was never that serious!

"I look this way all the time."

THAT SAID, this is exactly what someone who was wearing a disguise would say in the first place...
