Royal Family Makes Super Surprising ‘Traitors’ Joke After King Charles Comes Face to Face with Show’s Host

And while it was exciting to see the Traitors host with the royal, it was the caption that really caught my attention, as it included a very surprising joke.

The caption read, “Congratulations to the ever-faithful @ClaudiaWinkle for receiving an MBE for Services to Broadcasting.”

An MBE is a British honor standing for Member of the Order of the British Empire. But the joke came before the MBE mention with the description of Winkleman as “ever-faithful.” (Something tells me Winkelman would be a better Traitor than a Faithful, but that’s neither here nor there. I appreciate the royal joke.)

And this isn’t the first time I’ve recommended The Celebrity Traitors UK. Three weeks ago, in my list of the best shows and movies to watch, I included the British reality competition show. (You can see it in my slideshow of recommendations below.)

Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity.

Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
