Of three people at Miami Airport, who heard my adorable English accent, two have asked me if Kate is ok. Has turned into one of those sagas on which every Brit travelling abroad is expected to have inside knowledge.
@annemcelvoy Did they ask with genuine concern, or was it intrigue?
@annemcelvoy I was astonished when my Californian cousins wanted to ask how Kate, Wills and Harry etc were all getting on and was everything they read true etc 😂
@annemcelvoy @charlesarthur Reminds me of my US colleagues reaching out with (genuine) sympathy and checking I was OK when the Queen died. Which was very strange.
@annemcelvoy Pales compared to the agony of Americans travelling in Europe and being asked about Trump!
@annemcelvoy @rwilliams1947 Well, it's quite a small village we all live in, innit. And very quaint...
@annemcelvoy Well, we all know each other, in lots of Americans’ eyes…! 😂
@annemcelvoy A Russian friend in Belgrade who can just about locate the UK on a map knows more about Kate than me. (Which makes me wonder if we're really expected to believe such a famous woman edits her own official portraits; or has the palace made her take the fall for their own crapness?)
