On 31 January 2017, the British web site The Daily Mash reported that Queen Elizabeth had made a shocking statement regarding her authority should U.S. President Donald Trump visit Buckingham Palace: As is often the case with such items, the original report regarding the British monarch's putative legal authority to slay an American president with impunity quickly became decoupled from its original source when as it was shared via social media. However, that original source, The Daily Mash, is a satirical web site whose About page notes that its material is not factual: Although the Queen issued no such statement about her legal authority to do in a U.S. president with a sword, the notion that the reigning Monarch in Britain is indeed above the law (within the realm, at least) is one that has been much discussed and debated over the years.
