Today, sources from the United Kingdom's Downing Street confirm that everyone's ultimate nightmare has come true. It wasn't Brexit, foot and mouth disease, or even a Cheddar Man revelation - but the beloved British motto, "Keep Calm and Carry On," has, in fact, proved to be a sham. For how can they keep calm when the unthinkable has happened: a UK boss being snubbed by the Royals! We are talking about no ordinary boss here. Nor are we discussing the ordinary ‘royals’. The snubbed boss is a reputed netizen holding a corner desk at the Big Ben Office Complex. Leading a team of keyboard warriors, he grinds out profits by the minute and compiles spreadsheets like a Rembrandt masterpiece. The 'Royals' in the context? Well, who else but the family known for their renowned stoicism, the experts of subtle rebuffs, the first class patrons of unspoken decorum - the right, tight, and strapping British Royal Family! Here's the kicker - it was a charity event. You read that right. In a world where corporations normally leap at such occasions like a child on a sack of candy, the UK boss, disillusioned and indignant, turned up with starry-eyed hopes. The Royals were expected at the event, for all the show and pomp that accompanies their 'service' to such matters. By all standards, it was meant to be a meet-cute. But instead, it turned out to be a text-book cold shoulder rebuff. Boris Bumblebee (name changed, obviously, because what sort of sadist names their child after an insect and a reckless politician?) walked into the majestic gala hoping for a royal encounter. Instead, he was met with a royal snub. Prince Charming chatting up Sir FancyPants? Absolutely! Queen Mum exchanging sweet nothings with Duchess Diamond-studded? You bet! Little royal tykes attempting to start a jousting tournament with the canapés? All too likely. But honouring the humble UK boss with a courteous nod? Absolutely not! Our sources revealed Boris Bumblebee was ready to forgive the first encounter as a mishap until he crossed paths with the Queen herself. Mustering all of his courage, he extended his hand and uttered, quite eloquently for a raging capitalist, "Top of the day to you, Ma'am.” Deafening silence filled the royal hall as the Queen bypassed him, dispatching an icy glance that would rival the December fog. "Yes, Boris got the royal snub. He was utterly gobsmacked," revealed our source primly. The UK boss, apparently, spent the rest of the evening sitting by the shrimp cocktail station, brooding and, dare we say, failing to "keep calm and carry on." Guards reportedly had to restrain him from drowning his sorrow and misery in shrimp cocktails. His muttered protestation echoed around the ballroom: "I could've been playing golf. I nearly finished Super Smash Bros. And for what? To be ignored by a woman wearing more jewels on her head than I have in my bank account?" As the UK reels under this scandalous news, be sure to keep an eye out for how the "keep calm and carry on" motto adapts to new-age disappointments. Will Boris Bumblebee ever recuperate from this royal snub? Only time, and perhaps a barrage of memes, will tell. But for now, it seems, not even the Brits can keep calm and carry on.
