https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5b478cfbfce3cf3417c37eda/master/w_727,c_limit/Borowitz-QueenCancelsTrump.jpgLONDON (The Borowitz Report)Queen Elizabeth II has cancelled a scheduled Friday meeting with Donald J. Trump after complaining of a flare-up of bone spurs, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The announcement took many royal watchers by surprise, because in her sixty-six-year reign the Queen had never before complained of bone spurs.
But, according to the Queens spokesman, Peter Rhys-Willington, Elizabeth had intentionally kept her chronic bone-spur condition a closely guarded secret until now. Her Majesty is a very brave woman, and has not wanted to unnecessarily worry her subjects, Rhys-Willington said. And so, for decades, she has suffered in silence.
The Queen referred to her bone spurs obliquely in an official statement issued on Thursday. We are sorry to have to cancel the engagement, but we feared that meeting Donald Trump would be most painful, the Queens statement read.
