🇧🇸 Looking forward to joining the people of The Bahamas … When travelling, The King likes to spend time reading briefing papers, continuing with his Government red box duties, reading and writing correspondence, and discussing projects with his support team. Follow our posts in the coming days for the latest updates from the Autumn Tour.

#HarryKane is a great footballer and role model and will be justly knighted one day but he still hasn’t scored more goals than World Cup winner #JimmyGreaves who was given a miserly MBE shortly before he died. Disgraceful. @jimmy_greaves

As things calm down a bit I think we can safely say that when #PrinceWilliam queried #PrinceHarry relationship with #MeghanMarkle he might have had a point.

Don’t you love it when utility companies and others bombard you with satisfaction surveys and they haven’t even dealt with the original problem?

So well deserved, a true role model.

As I’ve been saying for some time a cashless society would be a disaster. #Sweden virtually is and now regretting it. The Government tells people to keep cash for emergencies.

The allegations against #ThomasMarkle are extremely serious and one thing. The behaviour of #harryandmeghan towards the royal family is another. I don’t think most people will change their view of them either way.

What’s @FraserNelson got to say about this?

Now politicians are saying we should have cash in case of cyber attacks perhaps they should stop the rush to a cashless society. They should make it illegal not to accept it in shops and put pressure on banks to stop branch closures.

How appalling that no mainstream TV channel is covering the #Aberfan Visit of The King Queen and Prince of Wales. I know it’s PMQS but #BBC has that on THREE channels

I tell @TheSun #Harry needs to apologise but never does.

Walked to the shops, posted a letter, did a bank transfer in a bank, bumped into a friend, had a coffee, bought some fish and wandered home soaking up some Autumnal rays. Why do it all online?

Journalists at the BBC in need of a severe rap on the knuckles. There's nothing 'official' about the Sussex visit. Playing into their narrative diminishes the national broadcaster, worse it makes them look like numpties bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6ge…

Just coming to the end of World War Two with #TomHanks It’s very good if a bit broad brush but it’s not a patch on #TheWorldatWar How could it be? They had interviews with people who were there.

Anyone reading my book What’s In The Queen’s Handbag would know there are no gnashers in there.
