The Prime Minister has spent the morning munching on some raw onions and knighting Britain’s shortest serving monarch, King Edward VIII.
King Edward ruled from the 20th January 1936 and abdicated on the 11th December 1936 so he could marry divorcee Wallis Simpson.
It comes as terrible news for those who’ve been using Malcolm Turnbull’s dislike of onions and Knighthoods to help spot the difference between old and new Prime Ministers.
It’s fitting for Turnbull to choose the shortest serving British Monarch for the knighthood in light of his upcoming status as one of Australia’s shortest serving Prime Ministers.
