In the latest bout of unusual goings-on at the palace, the Queen has reportedly scheduled an audience with the globally lauded Laughter Guru, Sir Albert 'Chuckles' McChortles IV. We are now left wondering if the traditional staidness associated with the blue-bloods may soon be replaced with overly animated belly laughter and raucous gaffaws that one generally associates with the frat houses down the blocks. Why, just last week, Buckingham Palace announced it was changing its usual menu from ‘stiff upper British discussion and occasional biscuits’ to a full platter of ‘Sir Albert’s Comedy Special’. The decision has eyebrows raised faster than a jester juggling multi-coloured balls. Our sources report that Sir Albert, hailed worldwide for his innovative laughter therapies, will be providing a one-on-one session with Her Majesty. The purported motive is to lift the spirits in the regal household. Or, perhaps it is merely to assure that the Queen still remembers how to laugh after so many Christmas speeches. Albert "Chuckles" McChortles IV, also known as the human laughing gas, is no stranger to high-profile gigs. His clients range from UN officials who got too tired of peace negotiations, to the Kardashians in their desperate search for another episode plot. But it will be the first time that McChortles brings his hilarity to a Royal Household, a universe typically not known for thigh-slapping exuberance. We tried to contact Sir Albert for a comment but were only greeted by a string of knock-knock jokes from his automated answering machine which left us in stitches and without an interview. When asked about the unusual metting, the royal spokesperson gave a vague response, "Her Majesty always appreciates a good laugh. She has been particularly jovial since watching 'The Crown' on Netflix," something which we, much like the Queen with a well-delivered pun, are having a hard time believing. Will her Majesty be laughing her royal buns off or will she politely chuckle behind her gloved hand, using her fan to hide her amusement? Only time will tell. Until then, prepare yourself for possible seismic activity around the palace grounds. That rumbling isn't London Bridge falling down, it's just Queen Lizzie having a good old guffaw. In the meantime, the British populace is extrapolating from the situation a sense of upcoming joy, just as the British paparazzi is anticipating a field day. Perhaps we will soon witness a paradigm shift from 'Keep Calm and Carry On' to 'Laugh Out Loud and Prance About.' Now wouldn’t that be a royal treat! On a completely unrelated note, shares in custard pies, over-sized shoes and bunches of plastic flowers that squirt water are going through the palace roof! Not sure why we brought this up, but we thought it was something to smile about amidst all the laughter. Keep watching this space for updates on this groundbreaking royal rendezvous. And remember folks, 'he who laughs last, didn’t get the joke.' So, stay tuned and get the joke first with us.
