King Charles has spoken out following the release of court documents that confirmed Prince Andrew went to sex-trafficker Jeffery Epstein’s private island, with the King strongly condemning Meghan Markle for not stopping Prince Andrew from visiting the island.

“I understand that the news has today has hurt the reputation of my family for many,” said the King, “and that is why I am extremely disappointed in the actions of my daughter-in-law in not stopping this from ever occurring. When will her attacks on this family end?”

“Poor Prince Andrew, if you could see him now you would be devastated. Ever since he read in the news the documents would be released, he suddenly got over his inability to sweat.”

“We offered to get him an adult masseuse and he just burst into tears screaming ‘I miss Jeff’. The damage that Markle has done to this family, it’s just tragic.”

Following the announcement, royal correspondents at tabloids around the world have gone all in to focus all their coverage on a leak from a source within the palace talking about an incident wherein Meghan Markle allegedly didn’t say ‘bless you’ after someone sneezed.

Epstein partying it up on Royal properties with the friends and family of the king, and we’re supposed to just believe that the queen and Charles knew nothing about it.

Also, reminder that Andrew’s victim was trafficked at Mar a Lago, where her father was working at the time as a maintenance man. Gishlane Maxwell met and picked her up at Mar a Lago, and brought her to Epstein.

Ever heard of Sir Jimmy Savile, British national treasure, close friend of then Prince Charles, serial child rapist, and necrophile? Here he is telling a fun little anecdote:

Received a knighthood from the queen and from the pope.

Bonus, an article on the late queen’s brother:

They made a drama series about Savile called The reckoning, starring Steve Coogan. Coogan says it’s the only time he has asked to not do a particular scene, when he had to film the necrophilia scene, it was way too disturbing even for him to act out

Savile would also take souvenirs from the morgue. Glass eyes, teeth, etc.

Neurodivergent attribute. In a lot of ways it’s a good thing, though, because it’s less socially acceptable to post hate speech and controversial jokes here as a result of nobody assuming satire.

You spend the last 7 years dealing with Trump as President and then the shit show after…

At some point you get PTSD from going “oh this is a joke”… Then finding out he really said or did it, AND people still love him.

tl;dr: Dressed up as Osama and crashed an APEC meeting that hold lockdown the entire city, getting past many international protections.

They had to give themselves up after getting way too close to world leaders because they weren’t getting caught.

It’s both great and sad that satire can be so subtle you’re often wondering if something is satire or not AND reality is so messed up even what should be the most obviously hamfisted satire has you question if it actually is.

Reminder that British royalty is not benevolent or even simply not malevolent:

… in November 1973 the Queen feared that a proposed bill to bring transparency to company shareholdings could enable the public to scrutinise her finances … exempting only the crown from the legislation would mean it was obvious any shareholdings so anonymised were the Queen’s property … Howe proposed that the government would insert a new clause into the bill granting the government the power to exempt certain companies from the requirement to declare the identities of their shareholders … It would be three years before the bill and its secrecy clause would come into law
