The Queen’s Twitter account is hilarious and scathing… but there’s one tiny catch

Feb 28, 2016

She’s a woman of few words, but behind closed doors, who knows what the Queen is thinking?

Well, this hilarious Twitter account might give us some insight: it’s the Queen’s innermost thoughts, broadcast to 1.3 million people.

But there’s a slight catch: it’s not really the Monarch talking, it’s a parody, however it doesn’t seem to matter to the thousands who retweet and reply to her daily remarks.

If you’re up for a Sunday giggle, we’ve found some of her best tongue-in-cheek tweets:

Crossrail is to be renamed the Elizabeth Line. Absolutely thrilling. pic.twitter.com/Y4ngg66hIi

Dear @twitter Please stop putting suggestions of people one might like to follow in one’s timeline. One is a leader, not a follower. EIIR?

One can see that David Cameron is speaking, but all one can hear is “blah, blah, blah, blah”.

Having the Middletons over for Christmas. Sadly not enough room in the house but Mr Middleton says it’s ok, he can park his caravan outside.
