“Oh, I just remembered! I have to buy tampons.”
That’s Daily Show host Desi Lydic’s first comment after showing an image of King Charles’ newly unveiled, and very red, royal portrait. Needless to say, just like the internet as a whole, Lydic had some thoughts on the choice.
“Now obviously this is a pretty big departure from other portraits of the royal family. For example Queen Elizabeth was often painted with her beloved corgis. Compare that to Charles, who looks like he was painted with her corgis once Kristi Noem was finished with them,” Lydic says.
“I do like having the butterfly there though. It says ‘I may be King of England, but I still love that song that goes, ‘Come, my lady, come come, my lady, you’re my butterfly, sugar, baby.'”
Lydic’s closing thoughts?
“Clearly this painting has gotten a lot of negative feedback, but King Charles swears that he loves the portrait, which probably means that he’s having an affair with another portrait on the side.”
