Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Or should we say, how the mighty have been cropped? In a stunning display of photographic finesse, the British Royal Family has once again proven that when it comes to family drama, they’re not just experts – they’re Photoshop wizards!
Picture this: Prince Harry’s birthday rolls around, and the Royals, in their infinite wisdom, decide to send their warmest wishes… along with a carefully curated snapshot. But wait! Something’s missing. Or rather, someone. Poor Meghan, it seems, has been unceremoniously cropped out faster than you can say “Megxit.”
One can only imagine the conversation at Buckingham Palace:
“Your Majesty, shall we include Meghan in the photo?”
“Meghan who? I only see Harry and a suspiciously large empty space beside him. Must be all that California air he’s been breathing.”
Perhaps they feared Meghan’s American charm might overshadow the carefully cultivated British stiffness of the occasion. Or maybe they worried her presence might summon the ghost of Oprah past, ready to conduct another tell-all interview right there on the birthday cake.
Of course, Harry and Meghan are no strangers to controversy themselves. One can almost hear them plotting their revenge from their Montecito mansion:
“Darling,” Meghan might say, twirling her tiara-less hair, “shall we release our own photo? Perhaps one where we’ve cropped out everyone except that nice footman who always smiled at us?”
“Brilliant idea, love!” Harry would reply, furiously typing away at his memoir sequel, “Even More Spare: This Time It’s Personal.”
In the end, we can all learn a valuable lesson from this royal kerfuffle: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when the Royal Family gives you a cropped photo, write a bestseller about it.
Here’s to Prince Harry, the ginger birthday boy who received the gift of being reminded just how “spare” he truly is. May your cake be as sweet as your family’s subtle shade, and may your candles burn as brightly as the bridges behind you!
