Nation on High Alert as White House Installs New Moat for Royal Visit

In a stunning move, the White House has announced the immediate installation of a state-of-the-art moat in preparation for King Charles and Queen Camilla's historic visit. This precautionary measure comes amid heightened concerns that unruly royal ducks could potentially overrun the pristine grounds during the British monarchs' stay.

Sources close to the situation claim that the immediate security upgrade is less about human threats and more about preventing a full-scale avian invasion. "Ducks are a beloved symbol of the British Isles," stated an unnamed White House spokesperson. "But we can’t have them quacking up a storm during the official state dinner.”

Rumor has it that the First Lady, Melania Trump, has personally overseen the selection of lily pads to adorn the moat, ensuring the royal waterfowl feel right at home while maintaining the high aesthetic standards expected of a state visit. "We want to provide a welcome environment for King Charles and Queen Camilla's aquatic entourage," she reportedly mused.

The moat, complete with decorative bridges and a strategically placed flock of decoy birds, is expected to provide a tranquil, if not slightly surreal, backdrop for King Charles' upcoming speech on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, D.C. locals are keeping umbrellas handy, bracing for a potential "fowl" weather alert far from the ordinary.
