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.

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.

I think Chaser has more bite. Honorary Americans in my book for all the incendiary stuff they do.
