I thought of the #British #RoyalFamily remembering a line from #EdithWharton's novel #AgeOfInnocence set in 1870's upper-crust& aristocracy-simulating New York society: "In reality they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs". These days #Democracy #Equality #FreeSpeech mean folks don't cow-tow to #Heirs& #Graces.They stand up to bullying, controlling, gaslighting w/own truth. #Spare
