US Weekly just broke some very obvious news – 9 favourite takedowns

If you’re not sitting down, now might be a good time to grab a chair, because US Weekly has just dropped some exclusive news.

In what might be the scoop of the century, the celebrity and entertainment magazine has revealed that upon the Queen’s departure from the throne, she’ll be replaced by none other than, wait for it… Prince Charles.

Exclusive: Prince Charles is ready to become the King of England whenever his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, decides to step down from the throne. https://t.co/p6Opk4xMSr

Understandably, not everyone was shocked by the “exclusive”. Here are some thoughts:

Incredible scoop here. Bet every newspaper editor is fuming at their newsroom for not getting this exclusive. https://t.co/7MrOySbAmB

Me, editing: I'm quite reticent to use the word 'exclusive', we don't want to over-do it.

Did…did Prince Charles write this. https://t.co/K2I4bW7e2u

Quote-tweeting to dunk on the original tweet is often frowned upon but I feel it is justified in this case, for a) calling this “an exclusive” and b) getting a fundamental fact wrong (he’ll be king of the U.K., not just England) https://t.co/HTRfChSruP

In conclusion:

Your scoop is that we’re living under a monarchy. Did… did I just wake up hundreds of years in the past
