All the Queen’s four children are now with her at Balmoral Castle. Along with her grandson, the Duke of Cambridge.
This is a serious situation.

No comment from Kensington Palace tonight after at least 3 international pictures agencies refuse to distribute this morning’s photo of Kate and her children. Some of them (

So

Surely Piers knows if you give it, you gotta be able to take it?
NEW: Prince William has personally given

her Damehood this afternoon.
He travelled to the family home in Surrey where Deborah James is receiving hospice care.
Her family have released these photos.
Buckingham Palace says tonight that the photo issued by the
@RoyalFamily
of the Queen to signify she has been buried was taken in 1971 at, of course, Balmoral.
‘May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.’
Very sad for Prince Harry that - despite being in the UK - he didn’t get to see his grandmother, The Queen, before she passed away.
They were very close and he spoke to her often despite his decision to leave the Royal Family.
#QueenElizabeth
And now the money:
Harry: My family literally cut me off financially in the first quarter of 2020.
I have got what my mum left me. I think my mum saw it coming. And I felt my Mum's presence through this process.

I’ve never been much of a conspiracy theorist but if
@AP
@AFP
@Reuters
& other picture agencies are concerned enough to remove it and ask clients to delete it, there are serious questions for Kensington Palace - which was the source of the photo.
These appears to be the issues 👇

At ages 94 and 99 they are are in the high risk category.

A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan has just told us that “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to ask the U.S. government for security resources. Privately funded security arrangements have been made.”
I know
@KwasiKwarteng
has got a lot on, but he just told
@LBC
that the Royal Family is funded by the Civil List and has been “since George III”.
The Civil List was actually stopped in 2012 and replaced by the Sovereign Grant (a percentage of the profits of the Crown Estate).
PRINCESS ANNE statement:
“I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest Mother’s life. It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys. Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting”
NEW: Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are travelling to Balmoral Castle. They were supposed to be doing a charity event in London this evening.
Meghan: “It’s not enough just to survive something, right? That’s not the point of life.”
She says she’s tried to adopt the British “stuff upper lip” but “what that does internally is probably really damaging”

After 70 years of the cypher ‘EIIR’ for Queen Elizabeth II…
King Charles’ new cypher ‘CIIIR’ has just been released.
It’s what will appear on new post boxes, government buildings and state documents.
The change will be ‘gradual’ says the Palace.
With a very heavy heart, we announce the death of our much loved friend and colleague
@emilymorganitv
.
She was such a beautiful person and a dear friend.
As Health Editor, Emily was fearless in reporting Covid to the nation in 2020.
Talented, kind, full of humanity.
She was 45.
We are devastated at the passing of our remarkable colleague Emily Morgan.
Emily was a hugely talented journalist and a much-loved friend and mentor to so many here. She will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with Emily’s family.
Statement:
This is the moment that Meghan describes meeting the late Queen Elizabeth for the first time and how she did not understand why she needed to curtsy to Harry‘s grandmother…
He looks a little uncomfortable about the whole thing

NEW: Source close to William and Kate, who from 6pm became the Prince and Princess of Wales:
She “appreciates the history associated with this role but will understandably want to look to the future as she creates her own path”.
NEW: A photograph of Kate has just been released by Kensington Palace for Mother’s Day (in the UK).
It was taken by Prince William in Windsor earlier this week in order to thank everyone for their support while the Princess of Wales has been recovering from her abdominal surgery.
The couple’s Archewell website says Lili was born Lili on Friday, June 4th at 11:40am “in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara”.
On a difficult day when we are seeing the Queen’s coffin for the first time, I’m struck that it is also 9/11 today and my thoughts with everyone in the USA.
As The Queen said in 2001: “Grief is the price we pay for love”.

WATCH: Queen jokes “I don’t matter” when it’s pointed out that her Platinum Jubilee cake is upside down so that our cameras can film it.
“So they can see” the Queen laughs before saying “I might just put a knife in it” and “somebody else can finish it off!” 🍰 👑
My respect and admiration today to all those camera operators, technicians, engineers, satellite controllers - from all broadcasters - who will enable the world to see these historic events as they happen in London and Windsor.

I was trapped but I didn’t know I was trapped.

I went to Human Resources but they said: "There is nothing we can do to help you because you are not a paid member of the institution."
Meghan says: "Nothing was ever done."

📷The way to close everything down would be to release the original photo on which Kate decided to "experiment with editing".
That's very unlikely, mind you ...
