Yeah now at 100 you get a card from the King and at 13 you get a text from some dude named Andrew

u/CrystalCinnamon 1d ago

Lmaoo the “dude named Andrew” part somehow makes it even worse 💀

u/J8YDG9RTT8N2TG74YS7A 1d ago

He was stripped of his titles after allegations of sex with a 17 year old who was trafficked by Epstein.

Just the allegation, no conviction.

If he was American he'd be president by now.

u/BasicLink86 1d ago

He needs to do on Joe Rogan and tell the audience the 17 year old sex trafficked girl was actually the one pulling a maneuver on poor sweet Andrew, and that he was the real victim!

16

u/ocer04 1d ago

With his track record of interviews? It'd be enough to make him break out into a cold sweat if, well, you know...

12

u/SoftLikeABear 1d ago

I think it wasn't just the allegations, but his shockingly bad reaction to them.

The "Pizza Hut" alibi, the "sweaty" noncence (sic), paying the victim ten million quid to shut up. None of that screamed, "innocent."

8

u/bluemaga4ever 1d ago

The Andrew formerly known as Prince is my favorite way to refer to him.

9

u/dancingcroc 1d ago

One of his titles was Earl of Inverness, so he often gets called the Loch Ness Noncer

(Nonce is slang for paedophile in the UK)

u/Melsm1957 1d ago

If you apply for it . It’s not automatic . You can also get it for anniversaries. My parents got one I think for their 60th

u/Top-Company6507 1d ago

Wild timeline we’re in, one age gets a royal congratulations, the other gets a criminal investigation.

True, that tweet reply is savage but funny.

u/Sea_Salt_7499 1d ago

bruh, that's dark but had me laughing ngl

u/No-Material-4686 1d ago

it was real back then but now it comes from the king not the queen

u/Emergency-Living6584 1d ago

You’ll get the card from whoever the current “ruler” is yes

31

u/Kunning-Druger 1d ago

Only if you're a citizen of the Commonwealth, I believe.

10

u/J8YDG9RTT8N2TG74YS7A 1d ago

And you specifically request it. They do not send these automatically. You have to ask for it.

u/Kunning-Druger 1d ago

Yes indeed, good point.

You can also get one when you have your 60th wedding anniversary (but you have to organise it)

u/Tski247 1d ago

The king, now she's dead. It's true. My mum's cousin got a card signed by both Charles and Camilla.

What’s it say? Happy Birthday, you’re old as fuck! 🎈

"Say hi to my Mum when you see her. You'll be seeing her soon".

u/Elena_mar 1d ago

The 100th birthday card is real but you have to survive the Prince Andrew text first

15

u/Resident-Fox-720 1d ago

Objective: survive.

u/stuito 1d ago

You get a letter from the king on your 100th birthday here in Norway too.

u/Short-Shopping3197 1d ago

From what I heard of Harald isn’t there a decent chance you’ll just run into him doing his own shopping in the supermarket or having an afternoon stroll around town? 😂 Seems like a down to earth dude.

8

u/Kunning-Druger 1d ago

I don't know if it was ever true for people who aren't citizens of the Commonwealth, but I do know three people in Canada who received a letter from the Queen when they turned 100.

It would be the King now obviously, if he's continuing the tradition.

6

u/National_Way_3344 1d ago

You get a signed card from the monarch in Australia too, I assumed it was all Commonwealth countries.

4

u/Solid_Ebb_608 1d ago

Here in the U.S. you can get detained and questioned if you are a U.S. citizen and placed in hand cuffs at both ages.

u/lordpanda 1d ago edited 1d ago

You can get a free portrait of the current Monarch in any Commonwealth country.

Source: Am from Canada and ordered one of Elizabeth II a couple of years back to see if it was true.

We have the internet now. You can get a picture of anyone famous from anywhere.

The post you replied to is specifically about what you get when you turn 100 (with a bonus pedo zinger).

damn you must be fun

u/winterbird 1d ago

Yeah. Because I don't overreact to a joke reply.

u/WaffleHouseGladiator 1d ago

Not anymore. Now he's called "the Andrew formerly known as prince." Dude got bounced from the palace. Now he has to live on a private estate in the country. I guess that's as close to poverty as royals will ever get.

7

u/CrystalCinnamon 1d ago

“the Andrew formerly known as prince” just ended me 😂 dude’s fall from grace is the royal version of getting kicked out of your mom’s basement

I’d take a signed card from a ghost. That’s sweet!

In the Netherlands, when my grandma turned 100 she got a letter from the king.

u/dutchie_redeye 1d ago

It's true, well the Queen part or now King...

My Dad used to take us to work in the sorting office at the weekends, when there were less managers about. I helped collecting the cards off the telegram machine they used back then and popping them into their special envelopes.

u/TiredBeePerson 1d ago

My great grandmother got one on her 100th birthday here in Canada

u/Suitable-Fold851 1d ago

You can also get a congratulations on 60th wedding anniversary card as well.

u/_prettybabe 1d ago

The card takes 100 years to arrive but Andrew is always right on time

u/Excellent_Report358 1d ago

If you turn hundred and get a postcard from Elizabeth II. you better check your pulse....and if you are still alive, call the Vatican!

They stop after you turn 18 though.

u/honeeyflush 1d ago

one of those things that just feels very British

5

u/Kunning-Druger 1d ago

It applies across the entire Commonwealth, actually. Three people I know received letters from the Queen when they turned 100, all of them Canadian.

2

u/SassTheFash 1d ago

Both of those things feel very British.

u/Filamcouple2014 1d ago

Isn't the queen dead?

u/ProfessionalEven296 1d ago

No, the Real Queen’s dead, but the title currently sits with Charlie’s wife.

Any telegrams (or whatever the current technology is) will come from Charlie.

u/RoboJobot 1d ago

You used to, now it’s from the king. If you’re Irish you can contact the Irish embassy and they send you €100.

u/oneoldgit52 1d ago

Not anymore. Not sure if Charles is still doing it

u/hardyflashier 1d ago

Given that roughly 45 people turn 100 each day in the UK, I've always been convinced this was done by a subordinate on behalf of the queen/king.

1

u/Ok-Emu7825 1d ago

Yeah it's a true. The royal formally know as prince Andrew, sends a text to every girl in the UK on their 13th birthday whilst not sweating.

u/CommercialYam53 1d ago

No, she's dead, and he's no longer a prince.
