    She only tweeted from that account. @BritishMonarchy is an official, but general account for news and info.

    EDIT: However I do hope she tweets more. It would be nice to know her thoughts on the respective merits of Game of Thrones and its source material.

    Love that she signed it as Elizabeth R. though.

    I think it's more because of never working and living a life-long vacation.

    Except you know, HM The Queen actually works extremely long hours and has a very busy schedule.

    Well you only have yourself and people like you to blame. If I had my way, royals and aristocrats would still be engaged in running countries and all the peons would be in their rightful place.

    You dirty republicans had your way in most of Europe, and look what happened. Look at the scandal-ridden disgrace that is the House of Savoy. Look at the Hohenzollerns. Pitiful. And it's all your fault.

    Well that's my point. It's like they found a way to sink even lower.

    What do you expect though? They were new to royalty. The Habsburgs should've never consented to elevate those electors.

    also are republicans responsible for their coat of arms looking like a precocious three year old drew it?

    Not everybody can have an ermine superferret as their coat of arms.

    It's the arms of the city of Vannes in Brittany, and may have been the arms of a Breton noble family there in the Middle Ages named "de Vannes."

    I didn't realise the Royals were unionised workers.

    That's the weakest defense of a tribal leader I've ever seen. I don't know, threaten me with getting your Westminster witch-doctor to put a curse on me or something.

    I wouldn't be so snarky, Dave. Someday we'll all be a part of a tribe.

    I'm sorry, but unionised workers are breathtakingly lazy and almost always on holiday Dave. I didn't make it up.

    Oh god that photoshop is horrifying. They made her look like some sort of Australian demon.

    EDIT: GAJ, I mean no insult to the esteemed House of Windsor. The Princess is a lovely and graceful woman, and the magazine did her no justice.

    You're asking me to explain, Digbert, why a tabloid rag magazine the likes of which you would probably read, did something stupid.

    lol, what?

    I'm just saying, you're asking me to account for the lowest form of mass media idiocy and I can't do much more than elaborately shrug and say "what more did you expect?"

    I mean, would you like me to try and understand why they did it? Could it be because they want to be married to Will and she "got in the way"?
