Awkward because ‘protocol’ always makes the royals look as rude and arrogant as they are.

I’m now out of the police station. Still waiting for my colleagues. Make no mistake. There is no longer a right to peaceful protest in the UK. I have been told many times the monarch is there to defend our freedoms. Now our freedoms are under attack in his name.

Camilla left school with one O Level and later got fired from a secretarial job for being late. That was her career. Yet because of the man she married she’s Chancellor of a university.

We have just been told that the police will be taking no further action. This has been a disgraceful episode and we will be speaking to lawyers about taking legal action. I also expect a full inquiry into why they repeatedly lied to us and who authorised the arrests.

This evening three Met police officers visited my home to hand back my phone and the luggage straps. They apologised while wearing a body cam. I made it clear the apology is not accepted as we will be taking further action.

This evening all six have had their bail cancelled and no further action will be taken. We regret that those six people arrested were unable to join the wider group of protesters in Trafalgar Square and elsewhere on the procession route. news.met.police.uk/news/update-ar…

We pay him £23m a year. He doesn’t have to pay income tax. Now he refuses to say what tax he will pay. The only reasonable conclusion is that he’s not paying a fair rate, possibly not paying any at all.

She was literally elected to speak for Australians. Unlike Charles, who hasn’t earned a thing.

Who told Lidia Thorpe she could speak for us? Who told her it was okay to scream at the King? I don’t care if you are black, white, royalist or republican. Have some bloody respect. As the monarch, he has earned it. What a disgrace.

In the last financial year we paid this family with three children more than £23m.

If Labour says it’s too expensive to scrap the two child benefit cap, then why doesn’t this apply to the royal family then? #ScrapTheCap #AbolishTheMonarchy

We pay William £23m a year from Duchy profits. The duchy refuses to pay corporation or capital gains tax. William refuses to say what income tax he’s paying. This donation is the equivalent of someone of £30k donating £3. Yet they want you all to believe they’re generous.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have donated £3,500 to a south London food bank after thieves raided its warehouse. The money will cover the costs of the goods stolen and the damage caused.

“Prince Andrew is no longer a working royal and as such Buckingham Palace does not comment on his behalf.” And the BBC just accepts that? He’s still part of the family and Charles helped pay off his accuser to the tune of £12m.
