Jerry Seinfeld is trashing the royals!

Right on their own turf, no less!

The Daily Mail reports that the comedian appeared on the ITV show Daybreak on Thursday to promote a June stand-up concert when the interviewer brought up the upcoming nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

"Well it's a circus act, it's an absurd act," Seinfeld said. "You know, it's a dress-up. It's a classic English thing of let's play dress-up. Let's pretend that these are special people. OK, we'll all pretend that -- that's what theater is."

Seinfeld said, "And that's what the royal family is -- it's a huge game of pretend. These aren't special people -- its fake outfits, fake phoney hats and gowns."

He then maybe attempted to make nice, by adding, "It's fantastic. We don't have anything like that."
