      The death of The King choking on plastic wrap truly is gonna be what kicks off the revolution.

      “Wait so not everyone owns a palace and swans and manors??! I thought the poors chose to be poor! That’s what auntie Maggie told me! Why didn’t their parents leave them an estate??! That’s deeply irresponsible, did they spend their fortune trying to start a colony unsuccessfully like Scotland?”

      “You’re telling me the woman that was hired to raise me because mummy and papa were too busy died poor? They told me she moved to a farm (and castle) in the midlands! This is an outrage”

      “Get me Lord Palmerston. Oh he’s dead? Get me uncle Winston, I was told he did a fantastic job for the poors in India. Oh he’s also dead? He killed how many people??! Get me auntie Maggie, she helped the poors in the north right?? Oh she’s also dead? She did WHAT in Ireland? Is that why they hate us?? Oh good heavens, Diana was right, and my family convinced me she was an evil influence and we had her killed!”

      Imagining Charles being a good natured but completely miseducated moron is a pretty funny scenario

    Responding to something printed by The Mirror? The Onion does more reliable reporting than these guys. If people are looking for outrageous stories to comment on then the UK has plenty of publications that shouldn’t even be used as toilet paper.

      Honestly I read it like an onion article. Didn’t take it seriously. Laughing at greasy monarchs is funny, regardless.

        Feel free to enjoy. Just know you’re reading a tabloid gossip rag. This story is likely entirely fictional.

          Yup. Mirror, Sun; etc. It was a vehicle for a joke about the King wrapping it around his face

    The closest thing to reality this guy ever gets is when the court asks him to explain his sweat gland disorder.

      I googled this shit and all the articles are like “temporary anhidrosis is medically unheard of” but I literally didn’t sweat for like 5 years

      I didn’t have “overdose of adrenaline” though, I had “all my skin came off from sun poisoning”

        medically unheard of

        doesn’t that just mean that it wasn’t confirmed by a professional, noted in some records, and had those records added to a pile from which statistics are drawn?

        once upon a time, I was working as a bank teller and my coworkers noticed blood on my forehead, so I went to the bathroom and yep, there was a tiny amount of blood coming out of the pores of my forehead for no apparent reason (no pain, no visible injury, etc).

        coworkers made me go to the ER, where I was eventually diagnosed with “a rash” and sent home

        I never followed up with anyone about it

        did a case of “spontaneous dermal bleeding of unknown etiology” get reported to the local health department that year? did they pass that on to the state? 🤔

    Idk where else to post this but

    Anglo > English implies

    Saxon > Sexish

    The Anglo-Saxons could have gone down a slightly different route and embrace the Saxon part more than the Anglo part, but all else remains the same, we could be making fun of Sexish people instead of making fun of the English.

    To be honest, it’s a bit annoying seeing even this place buy into the UK monarchy sensationalised twoddle.

    Yes King dumb, no he’s not so dumb he doesn’t recognise cling film, no he doesn’t rely on potions. He’s just some guy who’s in a stupid position and should be deposed.
