Dear Alex,
I can't think of a single way to start this email except to say, "You're incredible." But should I also tell you that when we're apart, your body comes back to me in my dreams? I can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache.
The truth is, every queer person has the right to come out on their own terms and on their own timeline. They also have the right to choose not to come out at all.
It was a storybook ceremony today inside Westminster Abbey, where the future king of England, Prince Philip, Duke of Cambridge, married his childhood sweetheart, Lady Martha Fitzroy.

Dear Alex,

Please be patient with me, and I promise I will try and be brave for us. Because when they write the history of my life, I want it to include you, and my love for you.
I can love you and want you and still not want that life. I'm allowed. All right? And it doesn't make me a liar. It makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, and you don't get to come in here and call me a coward for it.
thanks for your feedback!! i’ve decided that this account will be solely dedicated to the movie so it doesn’t get cluttered, and i will make one for the book, so stay tuned for that. in the meantime, how do we feel about round 2 of the movie?
I've been losing my mind this week because the man I love has vanished from my life without an explanation. I flew across an ocean. I stormed a fucking castle to look you in the eye and tell you that I love you, knowing that you wouldn't say it back.
I hope Henry was watching. I could feel him watching. He does this thing when he's worried. Furrows his eyebrows. It's the cutest thing. God, I miss him.
But there is another truth that's much simpler. I fell in love with a person who happens to be a man, and that man happens to be a prince. He has captured my heart and made my life immeasurably better.
Henry and I have been together since the beginning of this year. As many of you have already read, we've struggled every day with what this means for our families, our countries, and our futures.
Well, if you had, you would realize that this is more than just a mad infatuation. Alex and I love each other. Deeply. And we are committed to each other, deeply.
Please be patient with me, and I promise I will try and be brave for us. Because when they write the history of my life, I want it to include you, and my love for you.
Your emails to Alex have been hacked. They were posted overnight to Reddit. The Mirror and The Sun ran them this morning. And now security photos of the two of you at the V&A have been popping up.
It is the only way you're getting rid of me. Because I would never leave this room if I didn't think there was any hope of holding on to the happiness that I have found with you. And if you think otherwise, then you don't know me.
This isn't about shame. This is about privacy and the fundamental right of self-determination, which are exactly the principles on which the struggle for queer liberation has always been fought.

I have done nothing but explain myself to you this past year. I don't know what more you want me to say, and I don't appreciate you barging in here in the middle of the night.
