Prince Harry Being A Terrible Person (?) Humanizes His Father (?) Aug 25, 2023

The publication continues publishing, and thus we continue lampooning. This week:

King Charles is (1) made more relatable by (2) having a difficult son, although nobody seems to be able to prove either of those things
Sasha and Malia Obama, two grown adult women, attend a party wearing clothing. Obviously they are out of control about it

Fail it up, friends. It’s Friday. This week:

Camilla can only be interested in domestic violence because of a MAJOR SCOOP from 100 years ago, not because of a reason she’s literally discussed in public
Kate Moss vapes, is a health goddess. But is also older than she used to be :(
