# Tweet by [@keefmoon](http://twitter.com/keefmoon) on 2022-06-04 07:22:31 > [!INFO] Archived from [original tweet](http://twitter.com/keefmoon/status/1532986139153510401) A few years ago, during the opening of parliament, I read a tweet about not celebrating and old lady clothed in the “spoils of the empire”. It was at that moment the scales fell from my eyes about the royals and the British Empire. Get rid of them all. https://t.co/L4vobnel2p
