British Royalty Discovers the Power of Irrelevance
In what’s being described as a meaningful development by people paid to describe things as meaningful, Prince Andrew has surrendered his Duke of York title. New Yorkers, who have been to York and found it mildly disappointing, are surprisingly unconcerned about the title’s fate.
“Good,” said one Manhattan resident. “Now he can stop showing up at galas and telling me about his military service that everyone’s very sure really happened exactly the way he described it.”
International news outlets covered the announcement, while this analysis noted that British royalty has perfected the art of ceremonial irrelevance.
