She was never supposed to be Queen. She never asked for the burden of the Crown. She watched as it crippled her father and sent him to an early grave.
But for the last seven decades, she has been Our rock. Our strength. Our stay. Our Queen. She has devoted her life to service.
I’m sorry but her level of beauty, talent, elegance and spectacular grace is unrivalled. I cannot emphasise heavily enough how astonishingly lucky the U.K. and Realms are to have the Princess of Wales as an ambassador.

If you want to remember Queen Elizabeth II for something, remember her for this.
That two days away from death, advised rest by her doctors, she insisted that only SHE would appoint the new Prime Minister.
She knew her duty and honoured it till the very end.
God bless you.
King whispered: “Could you?”, gestured to the page boy how to fix his robe, and then followed with “Thank you.”
Try again. What can you use next to stir up controversy?
Michael Gambon will live on in the hearts and the memories of every single person whose childhoods he lit up by his brilliant portrayal of Albus Dumbledore.
"You think the dead we loved truly ever leave us? You think we don't recall them more clearly in times of great trouble?"
Princess Charlotte is being attacked and mocked for the way she smiles and the way her teeth look - if this was any other 8 year old child, everyone would rightfully be outraged.
But hey, it’s a royal right, so who gives a fuck about her feelings or if she’s just a kid?
It’s genuinely incredible how mercilessly Prince Harry has exploited Diana’s death to generate a wave of sympathy for himself.
She was Prince William’s mother too - he chose to convert his grief into action and service rather than anger and bitterness.
We’re behind you Wills.
Meghan out here moaning about having to curtsy to a woman who'd been Queen for 7 decades, and here's the literal KING bending down to pick up a lady's walking stick for her
This woman has been facing relentless, nasty abuse for decades now - not once did she let it get in the way of her devotion to the King or Queen Elizabeth II.
She has conducted herself admirably, and served the Monarchy with unmatched dignity.
👑Camilla, Queen Consort 👑
I didn't need Prince Harry to tell me that a woman who urged for sanctions against apartheid South Africa and a man who refused to introduce his award in the country while the apartheid regime was still in place weren't racists.
But they died thinking the world thought so.
The Princess of Wales is a fantastically selfless, fiercely loyal, sincere and duty driven woman who hasn't put a foot wrong since she married into the Royal Family - and has been a terrific ambassador for the UK and Commonwealth.
She doesn't deserve your filthy abuse.
Just a little reality check for a few people today: if your first reaction when you hear of someone being diagnosed with cancer is jubilation, you are not a good person.
Just so you know.
at this point, nothing but immense, monumental respect for them. imagine having to put up with slanderous lies and having your name dragged through the mud, and enduring it with such dignified silence.
god save the king
>Be The Queen of the United Kingdom

Whether it was Queen Elizabeth II in India in 1961, or King Charles III in Germany in 2023, the star power of the Monarchy remains unmatched.
No other institution commands such extensive admiration and respect.
#GRAMMYs
latest -: Taylor Swift says she "absolutely adores" Catherine, Princess of Wales, who she thinks always looks "breathtakingly elegant", and that she would "so love to meet her".
I think it looks absolutely splendid, and we should be proud of our traditions - we do pomp and pageantry better than anywhere in the world, and everyone knows it. It’s time *you* grew up
This British government is a disgrace. The Chagossian people were not asked. The British people were not asked. Was the King even informed? Why are we willingly diminishing our standing globally?
The Princess Royal will be The King's official bodyguard during the

Who better to guard you than someone who, aged 23, scoffed "Not bloody likely!" when asked to step out of a car at gunpoint during an attempted kidnapping?
For 70 year she gave this country everything she had, and at times at great personal expense. Even if it cost ten times as much, it would still be worth every single penny - she deserved a magnificent farewell as our greatest monarch.
🚨 NEW: Joe Biden and the US 'pushed' the government to hand over the Chagos Islands
Senior officials told the incoming Labour government that refusing to sign away the islands would jeopardise the ‘special relationship’

He's a Member of Parliament who's missing the King's Speech to go to the Republican National Convention in the United States. How do you take him seriously? Oof
So much love and respect for Prince William right now.
He faced the media & the public, kept his commitments, and weathered the storm of defamatory rumours and damaging conspiracies - all with a brave face as both his father and wife battled cancer.
What a King he will be.
Camilla played a campaigned “aimed at the Crown”?
No Harry, she married the man she loved - and then she devoted herself to him, the Queen, and the wider Monarchy - giving it her everything.
Something YOUR wife couldn’t manage for even two years.
#HarryTheInterview
Australia has officially abolished the Ministry for the Republic, established under Anthony Albanese.
The King and Queen of Australia will visit later this year 🇦🇺
Pray. Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Whatever you're doing. Pray.
This woman has served this country, her realms, and her people tirelessly for seven decades. She has put the Crown before everything.
Pray that Her Majesty The Queen pulls through.
The stupidity of removing hereditary peers from the House of Lords to allow it to be almost entirely compromised of cronies/donors of successive governments is something I just cannot quite come to terms with
I have a question for Prince Harry.
What exactly have you ever done since you claimed you were setting out to become independent, that hasn't involved cashing in on your Dukedom or slagging off your family?
The truth is, without the Monarchy, you're nothing.
Greatest country on earth, greatest traditions on earth. Imagine wanting to do away with this for another generic, dull, drab, characterless republic. GSTK!

These pictures break my heart.
She was so full of life, love, energy and had that sparkle in her eyes right till the very end.
The flags of Australia, New Zealand and Canada are now flying alongside the Union Flag on the Mall, and the flags of The Bahamas and Jamaica are visible in the background. I imagine the flags of the King’s realms will all be lining the Mall on

“I think it’s very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you’re responsible for your actions, so you don’t blame other people.”
- William, Prince of Wales
You hate the "broken" Royal Family, you consistently attack and slander the institution of Monarchy, you claim titles mean nothing to you, you moved to the United States so your children can have a normal upbringing ... and you christen your daughter as a "Princess"?
Wow.
Prince William apparently knocked Harry down onto the floor and called Meghan "rude, difficult and abrasive".
What a gigachad move by the future King 👑💅

She is also the first Mexican leader with Jewish ancestry as well
News of HM The King's cancer is so deeply upsetting and concerning.
The British people stand with you, Your Majesty.
Thoughts with the Royal Family.
God Save The King.
Fuck Keir Starmer and the Labour Party for giving up British sovereignty over the Chagos Islands. It won’t be long before sovereignty of Gibraltar will be shared and the Falklands be compromised. How can he look the King in the eye?
I jeered at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry when they arrived at St Paul's for the Jubilee Service - and nearly three months on I couldn't have been prouder of the fact that I did.
You're not welcome in the United Kingdom (and apparently not in South Africa anymore either lol)
As someone who has actually met Kate Middleton and seen her up close, let me reassure you that is indeed her in the TMZ video, and she’s looking more stunning and happier than ever :)
Buckingham Palace is said to be the focal point of the nation, during both times of national celebration, and mourning.
Here it is three months ago, and today.
Heartbreaking.
The moment I met the future King of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realms.
You can tell a lot about people from your first interaction with them. The instant warmth I felt the moment I met both Catherine and William was unreal.
As genuine as they get.
Prince William being attacked for not attending the Women's World Cup Final by the same people who would tear him apart if he actually did go for wasting taxpayer money and being a climate hypocrite is pure, unadulterated comedy - they have nothing so latch onto everything.
Meghan Markle bullied her staff, lied in court, made a four year old girl cry, called a pregnant woman “baby brained”, deliberately misconstrued the issue of her son’s title as one concerning race - but somehow it’s INCONCEIVABLE anyone would dislike her :0
#HarryTheInterview
Queen Elizabeth was handed a monumental job aged 25 when everyone doubted her, and the eyes of the world were on her. She made immense personal sacrifices, put country before family, and carried out her duty to her people till the day she died.
How dare Meghan mock her.
Kate is absolutely insane because how can you go through a major surgery, have the most vile rumours and conspiracy theories circulated about you, get attacked and harassed by armchair critics and still come out looking so gorgeous and unbothered
There is no way this doesn't make you feel proud to be British. There is just no one who does this better than us.
What scenes. Elizabeth the Great deserved nothing less.

Outside Twitter, this is what the Monarchy means to the British people.
No one is losing their shit over Prince William not flying 12000 miles to be at a 90 minute football game.
Only truly jobless people are.
@KhaledBeydoun
The only reason a coherent understanding of Ancient Egypt exists today is because British archaeologists had the mental capacity to identify the potential in that "relic" and take it back to study, preserve and analyse it. Melt.
The King has the right to be consulted, to encourage, and to warn. It's time for the third. The Chagos Islands should not be ceded without a vote in Parliament that culminates in Royal Assent.
@RoyalFamily
There's nothing unfair about what happened to Ngozi Fulani. The only "unfair" thing is what happened to Lady Hussey - who devoted much of her life to Her Majesty The Queen.
I’m on the verge of bankruptcy but I don’t give any fucks.

If the UK gives in to a country of relative insignificance like the Mauritius, what on earth do you think this conveys to Argentina and Spain regarding the Falklands and Gibraltar respectively? Madness.
Kate has done literally done nothing but been in hospital for a major surgery - and the rabid wolves on here couldn’t wait to jump and attack her.
She is a genuinely kindhearted, kind, and extremely pleasant person.
They just hate her because of the family she married into.
