The Princess of Wales will read a specially-commissioned poem by Arji Manuelpillai,
at the Royal British Legion Service of Remembrance.
✨ Arji says on Instagram
'A few weeks ago I was wandering round the National Memorial Arboretum where I am Poet in Residence when I was told I was needed for a special job'
'I am always happy to write commissioned poems. It's a brilliant honing of the craft'
'In a quiet meeting room I was told that Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine liked my poems and she wanted me to write one which encompassed her views and thoughts'
'That poem is probably one of the most important poems I have ever written. But I felt like God was putting it in front of me at the perfect time. Years of building craft and practice has led me to jobs like this'
'I told my family at the end of last week and I was made aware the Princess had shared other works too.
Never has my parents been so proud'
'To write for Her Royal Highness is the honour of my career so far'

Our People's Prince 💕
Remember the picture of the little girl from Rio de Janeiro who waited seven hours to give Prince William a portrait she drew of him and the Princess of Wales? Look at how he apologized for not being able to meet her earlier 🥹, and look at the happiness she and her father shared after meeting the Prince.

JKR rescued women in peril from Afghanistan. Set up a female-only rape crisis centre. She funds a children’s charity and has received death threats for speaking out on sex-based rights.
So for a women’s mag to say this is sickening. Obscene.
You’re a disgrace @GlamourMagUK
@JackieD86388657 I don’t think he’s a pedophile. But I wouldn’t call him naive either. He knew what was going on. And stayed friends with Epstein anyway.
@davidvance I don’t think I’d call someone who was so chummy with Epstein and Harvey Weinstein innocent. He invited both to his daughter’s birthday party! He and Fergie borrowing money from a man who used young girls in horrific ways. No, not innocent.
@_HenryBolton I think you’ll find yourself in the minority with that opinion. He’s done much more than show bad judgement. He and Sarah were bff’s with Epstein for ages, there’s sketchy money stories about. I think we’ve only heard the tip of the iceberg.
@top_hat_321@herculeanstable@richardaeden Not to us plebs, no. But Andrew is a snobby, self important twat, and it will won’t be fun times for him. But obviously he deserves much worse. Unlikely to get it unless someone actually presses criminal charges though.
