The 79-year-old musician sparked speculation that he was the Duchess of Sussex undercover in a large white wig and glasses as he sat next to Andrew Lloyd Webber in Westminster Abbey.
"I understand there has been a lot of interest in me since I appeared at the coronation of King Charles III," he said."I was there because I'd written some music for the service."Meghan missed the coronation to stay at home in Los Angeles with her children, Archie, who turned four on the day, and Lilibet, one, while her husband Prince Harry flew over to attend the event in London.
"I was quite surprised that some people thought I was Meghan Markle in disguise," Sir Karl said."Someone wrote I was there, whoever I was, to steal the crown jewels. I look this way all the time."He then flashed the camera a knighthood medal he received in 2015, which he also wore at the coronation. Lord Lloyd Webber also confirmed his friend's admission, tweeting:"I can confirm it probably wasn't MM and had no jewels on his person as far as I could see - ALW."
Referring to his famous facial hair, Sir Karl told his followers:"Oh, and my moustache has been referred to in The Times as well. But I've had this moustache since 18-years-old. It was very trendy then."
