A Twitter user posting under the handle RileyGryc shared the resurfaced clip, which dates back to 2018, captioning it: “monarchists vs. literally the rest of the world rn [right now].”

The video of the incident originally appeared on the social media platform back in December 2020 when Simon Rowntree shared the footage, writing alongside it: “Reason No.7228 why Anthony Bourdain is the greatest.”

The RileyGryc version of the video has been viewed nearly 800,000 times on Twitter.

The clip is taken from Season 11 Episode 3 of Bourdain’s popular food and travel series Parts Unknown, which was first broadcast in May 2018. The episode sees the late celebrity chef visit Newfoundland, Canada to sample the region’s seafood.

The footage was filmed while Bourdain was enjoying a meal at Raymond’s Restaurant in St. John’s, Newfoundland, in the company of friends and fellow chefs David McMillan and Frédéric Morin.

In the video, the trio are enjoying one of the restaurant’s most highly regarded wines when one of them suggests a toast “to the Queen.”

Bourdain’s reaction is instantaneous, with the late celebrity chef stopping short of putting the wine glass to his lips and instead placing it back on the table while McMillan and Morin proceed to drink.

An expression, seemingly of disgust, plays across his face as he looks at Morin, explaining “no, I hate the aristocracy man.”

The queen served as the constitutional monarch of Canada, in a role similar to the one she occupied in the U.K., working under the advice of Canadian Government ministers.

As such, her passing has been keenly felt in the country with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau describing her as ““one of my favorite people in the world.”

However, the popularity of the resurfaced Bourdain video speaks to those evidently opposed to the institution of the monarchy.

The comments accompanying the viral video go some way to backing that up, with some viewers full of praise for Bourdain’s anti-royalist response.

GlistofCLE said: “Bourdain, for all his flaws, was always a real one.”

Adhdwhatnext commented, “Yet another reason this guy was so awesome,” while miguelgiant28 called Bourdain, “The only king I recognize.”

Journalist Ghazala Irshad shared the video, referring to Bourdain’s passing as the “only famous person’s death I ever shed real tears for.”

While the queen has been mourned in large parts of the world, there have been celebrations in countries like Ireland and India, while others have sought to highlight the monarchy’s associations with colonialism.

Newsweek has contacted Morin for comment.
