This has been a year full of chaos for everyone ― even the royals.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kicked off 2020 by announcing their decision to step back as working royals, signaling there would be a lot of changes ahead. And this was well before anyone saw the coronavirus pandemic on the horizon.
But amidst a year of turbulence, turmoil and sadness, Twitter users still managed to make us laugh.
We rounded up some of the best tweets about royals that struck our funny bone and ― in some cases ― were finger-licking funny.
The best reactions to Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back:

This would be my type of luck! Hungover, no makeup, scaring children as I looked terrible. Have my first KFC in a 6 months. Attempt to shove a whole burger in my mouth and Prince William or Catherine appeared waving through the glass 😂https://t.co/MZx89CGIAa

— Sophia Benoit (@1followernodad) December 3, 2020
I do have a sincere question. Why are all of our moms constantly talking about Diana? One time my mon CALLED me while I was in college, sighed, and started the conversation with “she was the people’s Princess”
— broti gupta (@BrotiGupta) November 26, 2020
Well, Princess Margaret tried. She really tried to stop the wedding. Mm.

I hope Meghan Markle plays herself on the next season of The Crown.

And just the best random royals tweets this year, period:
the royal family should have a blooper reel!!!!!!! i'd kill for an america's funniest home video compilation of the queen tripping over a cord & prince charles getting hit in the balls.
— broti gupta (@BrotiGupta) December 5, 2020
No one asks this of the Royals in interviews, so you’ll never get an answer, but I wonder what Buckingham Palace SMELLS like.
— Abbi Crutchfield (@curlycomedy) January 9, 2020
Does this mean that when the queen dies we can put Meghan Markle on our money instead of Charles
— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) January 13, 2020
Desperate to know what on earth queen elizabeth is carrying around in those little purses
