They might not be members of the Royal Family but Liam and Noel Gallagher could certainly be considered Rock ‘n’ Roll royalty.
The Oasis frontmen are responsible for some of the most well known Britpop anthems of all time and tonight the Wonderwall singers kick off their hotly anticipated reunion tour which initially sold out mere hours after tickets went on sale last year.
However, despite their status as musical legends, it is understood that the Gallagher brothers have neither performed for nor met any of the royals.
This does not mean that the brothers have not been outspoken about the monarchy, with Liam and Noel having shown both admiration and animosity towards the family on numerous occasions.
And following the rift which emerged between Prince Harry and Prince William after ‘Megxit’, many – including Noel – have noted the striking similarities between the Princes’ fallout and the on-again, off-again feud between Liam and Noel.
But the chances of Harry and William putting their differences aside like Liam and Noel seems very far away – with the rift between the Gallaghers having taken over a decade to heal.
Indeed, at one point the differences between the two siblings looked irreconcilable with Liam and Noel frequently bickering on social media, hurling tit-for-tat insults at each other.
But time appears to have healed their wounds and both singers are now not only able to be in the same room but will even perform together on a global world tour.

At this time, Harry and William seem far away from burying the hatchet. William has reportedly abandoned all hope of repairing his relationship with his brother and the Duke of Sussex admitted in a recent interview with the BBC that King Charles III ‘won’t speak to him’.
At the beginning of the ‘Megxit’ drama Noel was one of the most vocal critics of Prince Harry after he decided to leave behind his role as a working member of the Royal Family.
The singer instead voiced his support for fellow eldest brother William in the ongoing spat.
Speaking to The Sun in 2021, Noel did not mince his words when discussing Prince Harry describing the Duke of Sussex as a ‘typical f***ing woke snowflake’ and a ‘f***ing a**hole’.
While he added that he felt Prince William’s ‘pain’ having to deal with a ‘f***ing younger brother shooting his f***ing mouth off with s*** that is just so unnecessary.’
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Liam has previously shown his support for Prince Harry.
In 2012, following leaked pictures of Harry in Las Vegas showing the then-27-year-old Prince playing strip billiards, Liam said he wanted to party with the Prince.
Speaking at the GQ Men of the Year Awards he said: ‘I’d like to party with Prince Harry. He’s cool.

‘If I was a ginger prince and third in line to the throne, I’d get p***ed and naked every night. Just for the hell of it. I’ve never got so bladdered I’ve got naked though. I can handle my booze.’
Liam was also vocal during the aftermath of ‘Megxit’ but chose to use kinder words than his brother.
Following Harry and Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Liam shared his opinion about the television spectacle on X – formerly Twitter – writing that: ‘Family’s airing their dirty washing in public is so embarrassing I mean c’mon you know.’
In fact, Liam has taken to the social media platform on more than one occasion to discuss the Royal Family.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, Liam shared a post saying he was ‘gutted’ by the news. The singer then took a six day ‘detox’ from X to ‘pay his respects’.
This was not the first time Liam voiced his support of the late Queen.
Earlier that same year in an interview with music magazine NME he fondly described Elizabeth as like a ‘little Jedi’ – in reference to the heroes from Star Wars.
Liam said: ‘Not that I’m anti-Royals – I like the Queen. I think she’s like a little Jedi. She’s alright, man.’
Noel, on the other hand, has been much more vocal in his criticism of the Royal Family.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, Noel shared his belief that support for the Royal Family was ‘dwindling’.
He added: ‘The monarchy as a thing is a bit farcical and if anybody thinks we are one’s subjects then they are very much mistaken.’
Giving his opinion about the extra bank holidays for the Jubilee celebration, Noel said that the music business should ‘not stop for the monarchy’.
He added: ‘Some of the people who work for me, I was like, “See you tomorrow.” They went, “Oh, we’re off tomorrow. We’ve got the day off for the jubilee.”. I was like, “f***ing royalists in the music business? I’m not having the day off, you’re not having the day off.” Anyway they all had the day off.
Noel did insist that he doesn’t ‘hate’ the Royal Family and is not an ‘anti-royal’ as he realised that the Queen, the then-Prince Charles and his sons Prince Harry and Prince William were ‘born into it’.
Despite his comments, Noel did admit it would be a ‘big deal’ when the Queen eventually dies as he’s known no other monarch than her in his lifetime.
Indeed, when the Queen did die less than three months after Noel gave his comment, Britain was plunged into 10 days of national mourning which saw more than 250,000 mourners file past the Queen’s coffin in Westminster Hall. An estimated 4 billion people watched the funeral worldwide.
The Oasis tour kicks off in Cardiff next week before the brothers travel to their home town of Manchester followed by gigs in London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
