The phrase “slimmed-down monarchy” is growing more and more irksome. The #britishroyalfamily has about a dozen palaces and vast wealth that other European monarchies don’t come close to. #KingCharlesTheCruel wanting a “slimmed-down monarchy” does NOT mean a few of those 1/ 
palatial residences are getting sold off and turned into museums like the Palace of Versailles—fwi France takes in WAY more royalty-related tourism dollars than Britain does. “Slimmed-down” in this case means concentrating titles/wealth privileges among an even smaller group 2/
of (white) people! FFS HOW DO PEOPLE NOT SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS?!
Thank God #GoodKingHarry and #PrincessMeghan called their bluff in the Oprah interview about #PrinceArchie having a title—the Palace was going to let the world falsely believe that the Sussexes CHOSE it! 3/

A few personal memories of the late #dukeofedinburgh - starting with his last ever official engagement with the Rifles last year.....
It was so impressive that at 99 - and having had a hip replacement two years previously - he waked down the stairs at the Equerries Entrance at Windsor Castle unaided.....
On the forecourt at Buckingham Palace, senior royal officials were in tears as he officially retired in 2017 - months after I revealed palace officials had called a secret meeting about the issue exclusively in the Mail.....

The world's press are here to report on the death of #PrincePhilip the #dukeofedingburgh, and I've not seen these sorts of numbers around #BuckinghamPalace since before #lockdown.
Westminster Abbey begins to ring the tenor bell 99 times in a mark of respect to #PrincePhilip the #DukeOfEdinburgh, and for some of the spectators here to pay their respects to #Philip it's a fairly low key spectacle. Passers-by seem quite bemused.
The tributes to #Philip are starting to slowly pile up outside Buck House now. However, I've lost count of the number of people posing for selfies and "grieving" for the gram as they lay flowers down - and the mood pretty much reflects that amongst the crowd to be honest.
