“Sorry, chap, you’ve got to take one for the team," the King told Andrew.

In an abrupt about-face, King Charles III of the United Kingdom announced on Monday that he was downgrading Donald J. Trump’s upcoming state visit to lunch with Prince Andrew.

Instead of Windsor Castle, where the state visit was to be held, the lunch between Andrew and Trump will now occur at a Pizza Express restaurant in Woking.

According to royal sources, Andrew was “incandescent with rage” when his older brother informed him of the engagement, but the King told him, “Sorry, chap, you’ve got to take one for the team.”

After Andrew asked what he and Trump could possibly talk about over their pizza, Charles suggested, “Maybe you two can reminisce about your good times with Jeffrey Epstein.”

    Thanks for letting me know! It’s hard to keep track with what is real and what is fake these days.

      I mean, not really, this one was incredibly obvious and I don’t understand how it’s possible to not catch it.

      But there are a lot of onions being served currently.

        I’ve had a sick little one at home for the past several days. I am up every two hours to give her meds and she is waking up crying in pain so I’ve been sleeping next to her so she isn’t alone. I’m sleep deprived and not 100% on the mental facilities department. So I apologize for not living up to your expectations.

          Well, I certainly understand how it’s possible not to catch it in that kind of situation. I should apologize then, not you. Hope it gets better soon.
