I am horrified they can get away with this!!

I always thought the British tabloids were the worst in the world, for obvious reasons. However the absolute rubbish the US magazines print about the royal family is astonishing.

How do they get away with this?!

(FYI - I am not a royalist by any stretch!)

Wow is that still going? I used to read it when I was a kid it’s always been utter shite

I remember the National Enquirer running alien stories, that's quite low key for them. Senior Royal funerals are already planned to the smallest detail, as if she'd ask Charles to start writing a list or something

Not quite sure why you feel you have to tell us you're "not" a royalist "by any stretch?"

DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE'S PLOT TO MAKE HERSELF QUEEN

😂😂

Wonder if theyll save that one so that when it happens they can claim they knew it was her plan all along

I reckon it was Megan Markle wot done it.

To be fair, we're all dying and have months to live, it's just that some have considerably more months than others. Would presumably be their defence.

It sounds like the British newspaper, I forget the name, which is no longer in circulation. The articles were completely off the wall. Alien abduction and such like springs to mind. Anyone help me with that one?

'Charles, don't forget the salmon paste finger rolls and cut the pork pies in half so they go further. ONE glass of sherry per person and make sure there's enough spoons for the trifle. For god's sake, don't let your youngest's wife anywhere near the silver!'

@Mummyoflittledragon -was it The Sport / Sunday Sport?

I love the idea of her getting Charles to plan for her funeral. Imagine her calling out from the kitchen "Charles love, come in here darling, your old mum wants to talk to you about something".
Google tells me that her funeral has been planned since the 1960s and traditionally Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk will be in charge.

Yes, it was the Sport and the Sunday Sport, my favourite headlines were, Elvis found on the moon and woman gives birth to a litter of puppies.
Of course the Queen has only months to live so do we all. Unless HMQ really is a lizard and will live forever.

They used to report that Jennifer Aniston was pregnant every week until she was at least 47

@iklboo
That’s right. Thanks. I was just coming back to say I’d found it on wiki. I knew it had Sport in the title.

We used to have a tabloid, which printed exactly the same sort of bollocks. It’s just eye rollingly stupid entertainment.

MissHoskins
Absolutely stupid stuff. I bought one once for a laugh.

I love a bit of the Enquirer.

Where else can you see serious pieces about Jesus’ face in a Dorito and alien babies.

Pulitzer stuff.

I always enjoy the Enquirer headlines when I'm in the supermarket queue in the US.

Yes, it was the Sport and the Sunday Sport, my favourite headlines

Who remembers the WW2 bomber found ON MOON ?

Although much much better was the week after that, where there was expert in depth analysis of the "scoop". After loads of bullet pointed "explanations" that increasing defied credulity (if not grammar) the last bullet point was "- it was a hoax by an unscrupulous newspaper ..."

God, I miss those days ...

DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE'S PLOT TO MAKE HERSELF QUEEN!!!!

Ooh I love this. Do you think it goes something like this?

1. Wait patiently
2. Become queen (consort).

Next week they will be saying she is pregnant

Nah, that was last week

I'm another who loves reading this rag in the store queues; sometimes folk hear my accent and ask me (apparently in all seriousness) if such-and-such is true, which is why a lady in Walmart probably still believes Diana's been found alive because an Englishwoman confirmed it

I used to love reading the National Enquirer when I lived in the US. Tbh not surprised- can't take anything in there seriously though!

When I googled the attached above, someone has made an account on Twitter!! Under the name Sunday Sport. There’s an interesting picture of Theresa May wearing a strap on “Theresa May’s S&M double does hard brexit up the bum at £200 a pop.”

Not sure I’m allowed to link the photo as it’s porn and I don’t know how to create a link to twitter. I need to change my twitter settings as I can’t see any of the pictures....

I don’t think this thread is going the way op expected....

The National Enquirer is a hoot, we love standing at the checkout in the US laughing at the rubbish they publish, a few years ago they were saying that HM had severe dementia.

We used to buy it for long drives, one of us was in charge of reading it out loud.

It's such bollocks, great laugh.
