LONDON – There's a new royal meme in town, people, and this one looks like a keeper.

After Prince Charles was photographed on Wednesday cringing away from a Bald Eagle during a visit to Sandringham Flower Show, the Internet reacted in the only way it could.

#princecharlesbeingattackedbythings was launched Thursday morning by The Poke, and it's rapidly picking up steam.
