Where are the condolence messages from the Royal Family?

It's exactly this situation that we need the Royal Family to make a statement. I've looked, but I can't find any messages of condolence from them. The only reference I can find is when The Queen sent a message to the Head of the London Met saying that she wasn't turning up today. And then she eventually says "Sorry to hear about the attacks." - or similar.

Where is the message to those other people who died? Nothing from Charles, or William or anyone else.

I used to be a staunch Royalist but I've changed my mind now. If the Royal Family can't even send out some tweets saying "Condolences to the families of those who died or were injured" then what the bloody hell are they here for?

Am happy to BU and for someone to prove me wrong.

It's a FB pan page that's posted it, not his real one

Good fucking God...

I utterly despair sometimes.

RortyCrankle · 23/03/2017 21:39

How shocking that the Royal Family sent their condolences to those involved without letting you know first OP. I'm sure they will learn from their mistake and will ensure you are their first point of contact next time. Hmm

Remember: nothing is real or meaningful unless it is on social media.

Yep me too.

I used to be a staunch Royalist but I've changed my mind now.

I'm sure they'll be gutted to hear that.

Oh dear OP. Don't you look silly now. Should've done your homework before coming on here Confused

Anniegetyourgun · 23/03/2017 22:27

Is this the same idi person who was having a moan because the PM hadn't personally kept everyone updated yesterday, instead of leaving it to a team of police and lesser MPs? Or are there two posters that, er, what's a polite way of saying it - odd?

Ffs

You can call me a GF all you like if that's what you want to do. I'd referred to the Queen's message already but I hadn't seen Kate's. Good for her for turning up today. But I'm still disappointed that there's been nothing from Clarence House or Kensington Palace.

Who did you lose in the incident, DottyBlue2? Someone close?

GladAllOver · 23/03/2017 22:37

If the Royal Family can't even send out some tweets saying "Condolences to the families of those who died or were injured" then what the bloody hell are they here for?

Can't even send some tweets? The Queen has sent personal messages to the people affected by this outrage. She doesn't have to broadcast fucking tweets for the likes of you to drool over.

Flyinggeese · 23/03/2017 22:44

Any messages are likely to be personal. I truly hate the social media culture of expecting everything in public. OP get a grip.

I don't think OP is a goady fucker. More of a ridiculous snowflake (with zero research skills).

Riversleep · 23/03/2017 23:19

Do you want all of them to come out one by one with a message? The Queen is the Head of State. She sent condolences to the families. The RF aren't Kim Kardashian.

Riversleep · 23/03/2017 23:22

Its the royalists with their hysteria and desperation to see the Royals emote that will be the end of the monarchy. Not the people who couldn't care less.

NotStoppedAllDay · 23/03/2017 23:26

Hey goady Op..... maybe, just maybe, PRIVATE CONDOLENCES were sent....instead of fb or tweeting, there's a novelty eh!??

PortiaCastis · 23/03/2017 23:26

Not everyone is on Twatter I'm not dunno if the Queen is but I expect like me she cant be arsed with it.
Anyhow she has sent individual messages to families of the deceased.

HeddaGarbled · 23/03/2017 23:30

If the Queen ever tweets, that's the time to worry about the world we are living in Shock

thatdearoctopus · 23/03/2017 23:30

Gosh yes, remember all that nonsense when Diana died? Were you there, OP? Baying for the Queen's blood for not sobbing in public?
