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.

      I’m not sure why, but there are a lot of Lemmy users who have a hard time picking up on sarcasm

        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.

            It was comparative statement to places like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc.

                Not from my experience, but I’ve never been to the outer edges of fediverse.

              True, but on Lemmy, the hate is likely to come from mods and admins at a higher rate than on Reddit.

        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.
