Smile, bow like a good little serf, and never mention the Epstein files. Business as usual. 😂

📕 With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
Channel 4 News has uncovered that the King’s private estate tried to sell land contaminated with toxic illegal waste in Wigan to the local council.
In January, Channel 4 News revealed the 25,000-ton site, dubbed UK’s “most dangerous illegal waste dump”, was on land largely owned by the Duchy of Lancaster - the King’s extensive private portfolio of properties and estates.
When approached by the programme the Duchy of Lancaster said it had offered to transfer the land to the council last year - however, correspondence obtained via a Freedom of Information request reveals it actually tried to sell the site at full market price.
Wigan Council told Channel 4 News it “respectfully declined” the Duchy’s offer.
The Duchy told us today "We continue to work with Wigan Council to try and find an effective resolution to the illegal waste site."
@lewis_goodall I agree, of course.
Bit will you go to the natural next step, Lewis, and say the same principle should apply when it comes to our Head of State?

Very much looking forward to reading this NS front-page article by the always ace @Will___lloyd!
I very much hope this is the NS formally backing the need for the UK to become a Republic!

THE CRUMBLING CROWN BY @Will___lloyd
How the Windsors betrayed Britain
Let’s follow the line pumped out like water from a holed schooner by Buckingham Palace and its hard-working proxies for a moment. After the arrest, His Majesty the King put out a rare statement written in the first person on 19 February. He asked that the law be allowed to take its course. The King had already promised to cooperate with the police. Charles had “felt powerfully about this issue in his in-tray”, a friend told the Sunday Times, forcing us to imagine the aging King staring hard and feeling “powerfully” at pieces of paper marked “ANDREW” since 2023. This, the Windsorists wittered in print and across the airwaves, was the screeching sound of a line being drawn under the matter. Radioactive Andrew would be placed in a lead-lined box.
Can our legal system cope with the trial of Windsor, should it come to that? At first sight that sounds like a hysterical question. Even a year ago most of us would have laughed at it. But can you have a fair trial of the King’s brother in the King’s Court, overseen by a judge who has sworn a personal oath to that same King, sitting under the King’s royal coat of arms? The mind boggles. It’s not just judges. Magistrates and KCs, soldiers and MPs and the police, privy counsellors, bishops, archbishops: they swear their allegiance to the Crown, not to you. And you can only understand the Andrew story in all its proportions when you know that to cause potential embarrassment to the firm – to ask the wrong questions, to speak out, to raise tedious little concerns – was not a way to open up one’s professional horizons within our multitudinous oath-taking bureaucracies.
Windsorists are yet to comprehend what a threat to William’s succession and the firm actually is, beyond a potential trial of Andrew. In January, the Times reported that Prince Harry had won his fight to regain armed police protection. The newspaper did not spell out the full implications for its readers. Harry can now return home to his ailing father and his unhappy country. Should he wish, he will be able to set up a rival court in the land. The House of Windsor and the House of Sussex will be forced to share our small island while the public watches on. A febrile scenario reminiscent of more unpleasant chapters of the medieval period, loaded with the potential for an all-out popularity war between the houses, with unknown consequences for the monarchy itself. What courtiers call “business as usual” will be at a premium.

Catching up with @OliDugmore and 'Royal Correspondent' @Will___lloyd on the @NewStatesman podcast.
Hoping it'll be a very fruitful listen for this Republican.

#WolfHall author Hilary Mantel was an expert on royal history.
She said the British monarchy had reached its "end game", and 'prince' George would "never be king".
Monarchy will soon be history!

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Republic activists have staged the first-ever protest INSIDE Buckingham Palace! #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy
We are told there's no money for striking workers or to properly fund our services.
Yet £250 million can be found with no fuss to parade a monarch in gold chariots and palaces.

”The Royal Family’s archaic-seeming rules and customs obscure its deep connections with modern global corporate power.” https://t.co/8Uy7TOG5h9 #coronation #makemonarchyhistory
Here's your kit for weekend mischief.
The police are eager to arrest anyone for expressing republican sentiment. Stand up to them.
It's bullshit. Snobby, horrible, elitist bullshit.

Put money where it matters.
Treat fairly those who saved our lives during the pandemic
Folk may say “but royal tourism makes us more than it costs” with figures that don’t stand up. Meanwhile the cost benefit of the *NHS* isn’t shown nearly that same curtesy
Tonight at 6!
The monarchy is expensive, offensive and outdated. We need to build a world without Kings and Queens.
Come along tonight and be part of the alternative conversation ahead of the coronation.

❌Our public broadcaster should not be participating in this ‘celebration’.
🧐This is an attempt to rehabilitate the monarchy, an institution built on racism, slavery and empire!!
