Artist, 61, also tells The Louis Theroux Podcast that she likes ‘pomp and ceremony’ of the royal family
Both Emin and Hirst have been Turner prize nominees, with Hirst winning the prestigious award in 1995, with his formaldehyde-preserved cow and calf, called Mother and Child, Divided, the focal piece of his exhibition that year.
As an example, she cited the France-born artist Louise Bourgeois, who worked until she died aged 98 in 2010. “I would never, ever, ever want or wish to be part of the royal family, when you see what they have to do and how they live and how restricted their lives are. I think it’s like a kind of living hell,” she said.
“The reason why I had to have my night bag plugged in and my shopping bag when we met the king is because these things take time and you don’t know how long it’s going to take for them to come down the stairs and the last thing I want to do is be standing there ready to meet the king and queen and then have to beforehand rush to the loo or my bag burst,” she said.
