Martha Stewart Calls King Charles ‘Chuck’ — And It’s Actually Wild

Martha Stewart just casually revealed she’s on a first-name basis with King Charles III. Not \”Your Majesty.\” Not \”Sir.\” Just \”Chuck.\” She dropped this bombshell while leaving The Whitby Hotel in New York City on Wednesday, and honestly? We’re obsessed with the audacity.

The domestic goddess was caught by TMZ photogs as she was heading out, and when asked about her relationship with the British monarch, she was totally casual about it. Martha’s got that vibe where she can befriend literally anyone — from presidents to royalty — and somehow make it seem completely normal to call them by their nicknames.

This isn’t Martha’s first brush with high society, but calling the King of England \”Chuck\” to his face? That takes some serious confidence. We’re imagining formal state dinners where Martha’s the only person in the room not using \”Your Majesty\” every five seconds. The woman invented the perfect tablescape AND apparently the perfect royal friendship.
