There’s no drama to see here. So, if you
want a quick wallow in imagined feuds, shuffle on. Yes, I know
Prince Charles has just found out he’s related to EastEnders star,

It all started ten years ago in 2009
when the Royal Household created an official Twitter account. Now,
a decade on, members of The Royal Family tweet, and The Queen
Instagrams! The official Twitter account of The Royal Family was
created on 28th April 2009 as an account to tweet royal engagements

her distance from Wallis Simpson is at the heart of a new TV
programme. In ‘Queen Mum: the Reluctant Queen’, her attitude
