The Queen cancelled Prince Andrew’s birthday party – our 9 favourite takedowns

Oonagh Keating. Updated November 25th, 2019

We all remember those threats from when we were little – or from making them to our own children – “You’d better start behaving or I’m cancelling your birthday party.” Well, it seems that Prince Andrew got himself onto the sticky end of the concept after his mum, the Queen, pulled the plug on his big 60th birthday bash. We can imagine how that went …

“Well, Andrew, I’m downgrading your birthday celebration to tea and cake with the family to teach you a lesson about hanging around with sex traffickers …and if you do it again, I’m taking back York.”

Of course, Twitter wasn’t going to let that one slide …and the mockery began.

The queen is Canceling Andy’s birthday party, that will surely show him, I bet he’ll never be involved in a global sex trafficking ring again. https://t.co/Sx1q2oPyQi

They say rich powerful men don’t face the consequences of their actions and yet here’s Prince Andrew falling foul of the “don’t hang out with paedophiles at paedophile mansion or you won’t get any birthday cake” rule. https://t.co/3x9MfRF4Ek

It’s normal to correct 11 year olds for what they do with their ding-a-ling. “No birthday party for you, little fellow.” But imagine having to punish your 60 year old in this way! https://t.co/Jq3LgGuAoW

He's also grounded for a month, and if he thinks he's ever going to get the keys to the Range Rover again, he has another think coming… https://t.co/xxpzg6rXk3

"Hello, I'd like to book a room above a pub. No, I don't know which pub, my mother normally does this for me." https://t.co/1PrCwDjXKH

One person thought the news reflected well on the Queen.

Fair play to her though because she’s the only mother ever to follow through on cancelling a birthday party for bad behaviour. https://t.co/GrWFxvhYyM
