Buckingham Palace announced today that Britain will be leaving The Commonwealth. The news shocked many of the 53 member states who believed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second and The Commonwealth of Nations would last forever. A spokesman for Charles, Prince of Wales, who in 2018 was appointed The Queen’s designated successor, said holding a referendum on this important change would have been too divisive for the United Kingdom; learning lessons from Brexit the exit will be swift. The spokesman denied that this monumental decision had anything to do with yesterday’s news that The Royal Family will be leaving Britain.
Although commentators initially believed The Queen was influenced by Prince Harry’s recent emigration, the shock news was later revealed that The Royal Family are not actually British. After receiving Ancestor DNA kits for Christmas, members of the family discovered they were 99% related to Europe Royal, a unique and entirely separate genetic group whose origins date back more than a millennium. One possible theory put forward by geneticists is that the kings and queens of Europe could only marry each other.
No statement has been issued about the future of the royal family, but it is believed Their Majesties King Harald and Queen Sonja have issued a warm welcome to any royal wishing to take up residence in Norway. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not commented on reports that their new Canadian home includes a granny flat.
The Windsors will not be the only family leaving the United Kingdom. The roll out programme that started with all residents not born in Britain has now been extended to all Britons who cannot prove the ownership of four British grandparents. Shocked Leavers vented their worries on social media.
No one told us this would happen, we wanted to leave the European Union, not Britain.
Hang on… even the Prime Minister wasn’t born in Britain…
I wouldn’t have voted for Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson if I had known his 5x great grandfather was King Frederick I of Württemberg!
I’m going to get one of those Ancestor DNA kits and prove I’m British.
I don’t even know who my father is let alone who my grandparents are.
If Leavers were also worried they put on a brave face.
Didn’t we say Brexit would be a disaster?

That was a great little read thanks. Actually in confidence, I heard they’re having Anglesey towed further out to sea and they’ll reign from there so they don’t have to have weekly chats with the Prime Minister.

Thanks David and what an excellent idea – I’ve only been to Anglesey once but loved it so I am sure they will.

Brilliant, Janet. I also understand the corgis have decided to return to Wales to live out their days and have joined a lobby group to have Charles stripped of his title.

Thanks Doug and I’m sure the corgis will be very happy, though I don’t think The Queen has so many left now…

Great piece of writing, as always. So sad that a small minority of people actually believe there is such a thing as a native Briton.

Thanks so much Mike, yes it would be fun if everyone took a DNA test, but I don’t think there is a Briton DNA!

Yes – even the Celts migrated here from somewhere else. I’m happy being a hybrid.

The sad thing is, it took me wayyyy too long to realize this was satire. Our political system in America has become such a joke, I find it difficult to recognize truth from fiction.

Both of our countries are going in the nativist path. Perhaps we will learn some coping ideas from your Brexit experiment.
