queen of england

We hope these memes won't trigger any of our buds in the United Kingdom, but these jab-heavy memes were too good not to share. From riffing on their habitual colonizing (love a good history meme) to mocking British cuisine, these memes are filled with slightly savage but mostly-harmless fun. 

Queen Elizabeth has been on the public's radar quite a bit lately. First, her son Prince Charles contracted coronavirus and speculations began that he would never live to see the throne. Then, the Queen made a rare appearance on live television to address the nation about the virus, prompting some excellent photoshop work. 

We saw it particularly fitting to create a whole gallery of memes in honor of Her Majesty!

The Queen of England's other half found himself the subject of a meme following a brief hospital stay. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, had been in the hospital for four days due to a "pre-existing condition." He was photographed en route to the Royal family's Christmas celebrations in Sandingham, and people were quick to notice the 98 year old's peakish and almost frightening appearance. But let's be real - Phil is looking pretty good for his age. That definitely didn't stop the memes. Memers expressed fear for the Duke's health, astonishment at his appearance, and used the images to make self-deprecating jokes. While we feel a bit guilty for supporting the internet's efforts at roasting an old man, the memes are pretty entertaining. 

Coming at ya with your daily dose of dank!

The r/me_irl subreddit is probably the sh*tposting mecca of Reddit, and things have gotten a little weirder since Christmas. On Boxing day, user beefy_cabbage shared an iCarly meme that seemed to predict the death of Queen Elizabeth. The post went viral, spawning more jokes about the unsubstantiated prediction. Most of them are fairly stupid, but we have to admit that we're very interested in what will happen on me_irl on January 6th. Stay tuned, folks.

Congratulations are in order for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! The duo said their vows on Saturday and people from all over the world tuned into their tellies to witness the high profile occasion. While we appreciate a public declaration of love as much as the next sap, you know we're really in it for the memes. And this couple's wedding has definitely delivered.
