Buckingham Palace Shocker! Queen Elizabeth II to rule for all eternity after ordering her consciousness uploaded into the Cloud.
London, England. To the millions of British citizens mourning the loss of their beloved monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, and the nations around the world who sent their condolences, a transmission coming out of Buckingham Palace late last night couldn’t have been met with anything but utter shock and surprise.
The Queen is dead…but lives!
Across the British Empire, Buckingham Palace beamed a message from the late Queen to televisions, phones, computers, and tablets.
Upon the expiration of her mortal flesh, the Queen ordered her consciousness to be uploaded into the cloud. And the process proved successful!
Revealing an updated digital version of herself, the Queen promptly canceled the extravagant plans for her funeral and apologized for any sadness, confusion, or inconvenience her untimely death may have caused.
After a collective gasp followed by confused muttering, chants of “Long live the Queen” broke out among the thousands gathered at the gates of Buckingham Palace. A sentiment seemed to be shared by most of the Queen’s subjects.
“I love it!” exclaimed James Welston of the Loyal Royals Fan Society, a website dedicated to following the exploits of the royal family. “And pretty much everyone I spoke to is in agreement.”
When asked about the Royal family’s response to the transmission, a spokesperson from Buckingham Palace refused to comment, but sources close to the family say Prince Charles was seen punching his hand through a hat.
