Twitter Out of the Blue
I’ve never really been a “follow the crowd” type of woman. One look at my wardrobe in high school and you’ll see that was always true.

What he did share surely embarrassed the heir to the British throne. And exposed William, their father, and other members of the royal family as cunning, manipulative twits.
