There will not be an update until 8:00 AM UK time.
(was some hours away since the call of Staff to Buckingham Palace was at 3:00 AM)

I have CONFIRMED what is WRONG with Twitter (and the interwbs in general)......
There needs to be a separate Kids area!!

The "speculation" on twitter is puerile... not amusing in the slightest.. if adults are to converse online they can do without chattering child-brains.
