Clip of Anthony Bourdain getting disgusted by someone raising toast to the Queen goes viral

A clip of Anthony Bourdain has been hailed by social media users as perfectly epitomising the world's reaction to the Queen passing away. 

Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday, 8 September at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle, Scotland.

While many have taken to the streets of the country or social media to commemorate her Majesty, others have marked her passing by reflecting on Britain's colonial history and how Queen Elizabeth II served it for 70 years.

A clip of the late-chef Anthony Michael Bourdain has since gone viral on social media from season 11, episode three of Parts Unknown - a food and travel series on CNN where the chef and author travelled across the globe to discover lesser known areas' culture and food - for accurately representing the contrasting reactions to the Queen's passing.

Take a look below:

In the clip, Bourdain can be seen seated around a table with a group of men who all raise a glass in a toast.

However, Bourdain quickly takes down his glass just before it touches his lips when hearing the cheers to the Queen, side-eyeing his companions as he does.

"No I hate the aristocracy man," he says.

The clip has been noted as perfectly mirroring the different reactions to the Queen's death within the world at present, with one user saying: "monarchists vs. literally the rest of the world rn."

Another wrote: "I love the Anthony Bourdain clip that's gotten really popular again in the last day or two of him saying he's not a fan of the aristocracy and refusing to cheers and drink to the Queen."

"I'm not sure when this clip was taken, but he was very frank about his hatred of Henry Kissinger and the crimes he had enabled in Asia, not surprised he held similar sentiments for aristocracy," a third added.

However, a final said: "Actually it's people with some respect and class vs people with none. People can think what they want about the monarchy but it literally costs nothing to be respectful at the time of someone's passing."

Bourdain's lack of support for the monarchy echoes a similar tone as conversation online which has been growing surrounding diamonds worth $800 million.

People have been calling for the Koh-i-Noor diamond and Great Star of Africa to be returned, claiming they were 'stolen'.

Both diamonds are currently part of the Crown Jewels and are on display in the Tower of London.
