King Charles makes comedian roar with laughter over joke at Royal Variety Performance that plays off Donald Trump's 'they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs' comments

King Charles left comedian Matt Forde in fits of laughter over his joke at the Royal Variety Performance which played off Donald Trump's 'they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs' comments.
The monarch met the political satirist, who is known for his impressions, following the show, which he had to attend without Queen Camilla by his side.
Mr Forde joked about unfounded claims made by Donald Trump during the recent presidential campaign that illegal immigrants from Haiti were eating locals' pets in the small Ohio city of Springfield.
Imitating Donald Trump, he said: 'They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs,' before turning to look at the royal box and address the King.
'Your Majesty King Charles, you are named after a spaniel - be very careful, they'll eat you alive.'
The camera spanned to the monarch, who laughed enthusiastically.
Following the show, the monarch was seen meeting Mr Forde who asked: 'Did you mind the joke about sounding like a spaniel?' to which the King replied: 'No, it was a very good joke. You've waited for 300 years to be able to say it!'
The Trump joke stems from a comment the US president-elect made during a debate with Kamala Harris.
He said: 'In Springfield, they're eating the dogs.
'The people that came in – they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country.'
The debate's moderator, ABC's David Muir, slapped down the ex-president, saying: 'The city manager told us there were no credible reports of pets being harmed... by the immigrant community.'
The local police department later announced that it had 'no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community'.

Much like my wife’s Canada, I am always surprised how people from other countries take shots at Donald when their own country is a pile of sh^t and needs looking into
