Royal Shade

We cats would like to point out that the state visit to the UK by Benedict Donald and "Melanie" is, on the political side, being hosted by Teresa May, Dead Woman Walking, while her presumed successor is under prosecution for official misconduct. And it's all taking place while Britain is convulsed by Brexit, with Halloween looming large.

So you really don't have to wonder why Britons have been less than welcoming. Thin crowds, "RESIST" banners flying on bridges, Trump baby balloons fluttering overhead, rude placards shouting outside of restaurants and all manner of raspberries have been observed. Excellent work, cousins!

But none quite rise to the level of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who — say what you will about her — throws just the right amount of shade. This one subtle wink tells you just about everything: As in, "Oh, yes, darling, we're putting on our best show for this ridiculous chuffer."

We're not sure who Camilla was winking at, but obviously it was the whole world. We cats PURR.
