Shaun Ryder has recalled the time he was shown a rather rude picture of a Royal Princess.
The Black Grape and Happy Mondays star chatted exclusively to the Daily Star as he prepared to perform at the Great Estate Festival.
Talking about the memorable moment, Shaun said: “I’ve been at a couple of parties where the daughters have been to like Beatrice and things like that but I’ve never come across any others.”
Addressing the rumours he had been flashed by one of the princesses, he explained: “Oh no, not flashed me, I’ve seen a photograph somebody took of one of those princesses with no knickers on.

“We were at this party, yeah, like I say I didn’t take the photo but someone showed it to me, that got translated that I had got flashed at the time but no that’s not how it was.
“I’m sure if it did happen to me I would still have post-traumatic stress.”
Shaun also called out the palace for their “bullsh**” excuse as to why Prince Andrew won’t be attending the Jubilee celebrations.
Buckingham Palace shared that Prince Andrew would miss a key Jubilee event on Friday (May 3) as he has contracted Covid-19.

Shaun, 59, said: “I love the Queen, she’s been there all my life. I’ve got nothing against the Queen, some of the other ones you know they could get rid of them for all I care.
“But as long as they make us money then keep them, but if they stop making us money like Andrew, then f*** him off. But the Queen is great.”
Talking about the recent news of Andrew contracting Covid, Shaun added: “Let’s hope he gets long Covid ey, so he can’t take part in any more celebrations. I think it’s bulls*** – they’ve just come up with that one just to keep him out.”

Shaun also revealed that Black Grape will be putting together a new album later in the year.
He added: “The last Black Grape album we did in 2017 so at the end of this year, we are making another Black Grape album at the end of October.”
Black Grape will be headlining Great Estate Festival along with Manic Street Preachers, Ibibio Sound Machine, Electric 6, DJ Yoda, and Elektra Fence at Scorrier House in Cornwall.
The festival runs until June 5 and will welcome huge crowds to the grounds on this Jubilee weekend.
