25 Tweets About The Waterloo Letters
Every single person on earth has probably already heard of The Emails and knows what they’re all about. But what you might have missed in the last 24 hours is the fact that FSOTUS Alex Claremont-Diaz and HRH Prince Henry won the lawsuit they filed against Richards. Technically, that man is the who-shall-not-be-named in our timeline, but we all gotta remember his actual name if only so we could curse his wretched soul.
(If you don’t see any more articles from me in the future, it’s probably because of saying that last sentence.)
And what better way is there to commemorate this win than by compiling these tweets celebrating The Waterloo Letters, and by nature, the history-making romantic relationship between Alex and Henry?
So, wrap yourself in a blanket, keep your snacks close, and your tissues closer because let me tell you, this is going to be an emotional roller coaster ride.
1. History, huh? Bet we could make some. AND. THEY. FREAKING. DID.
@hannahist1red
do u ever stop and think about how alex and henry ended their emails to each other by quoting historical figures and now, people are doing the same thing with their words instead?? I’m sobbing y’all
2. Love that for Prince Charming. That man deserves what he wants.
@_henrysmybaby_
i, too, am like prince henry: wants to avoid plants and only suck cock for the rest of my life
3. No, those aren’t tears. Anyway, who wants to fall in love with me and list down all the things they love about me, too? (I can give you fifty bucks for it.)
@sophdxnielles
agcd really went hardcore on THAT list, huh? the motherfucker’s thoughts may be chaotic as hell, but boy does he write with so much tenderness i could feel it in my core and i’m asexual
4. Passes the bar and raises the bar. Alex Claremont-Diaz, everybody.
@byesexual_disaster
if my partner in the future doesn’t profess their love to me by reciting their memorized topography map of me then i don’t want it
5. Reason #34348 why these two are so extra: taking the “enemies” to friends to lovers trope on a different level.
@thisisnotdxna
imagine having to grudgingly befriend someone you thought you hate and finding the love of your life in the process instead?? universe when
6. Royal tea incoming! Although Prince Henry and Prince Philip’s relationship seems to be improving, I still agree with this one
@henryysjaffacakes
(i will absolutely regret saying this when the royal guards come bursting through my door but) pr*nce ph*lip? you. me. dawn. guns drawn. we got yo ass, <3 prince henry <3
7. We love supportive and protective sisters, Part 1.
@karen_williams_345
the first family must’ve been so disappointed in agcd for almost ruining the election with his sex scandal
@CJ_ClaremontDiaz
@karen_williams_345 It’s not technically ruined if my mother still wins her reelection—which she did. And I don’t know… but maybe the real issue here is how my brother’s and Henry’s privacies were intruded upon? Think about that.
8. No one truly does love like them.
@alexis_james09
FSOTUS and HRH Prince Henry’s relationship will go down as one of the greatest love stories of all time and you may quote me on that
9. I can’t write this article and NOT include this. In this house, we love and appreciate the one and only Percy Okonjo, who tweets what we’re all thinking.
@0btusefkcngasshole
Let it be known that this day, we renounce James I of his title and give it to someone who’s more deserving of it: His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, Gentleman of the Bedchamber
@ThePezOkonjo
@AClaremontDiaz babes, did you somehow hack into this account?
10. We love supportive and protective sisters, Part 2.
@un1onj4cks0n
It’s been a couple of years, but I’m still waiting for the Palace to announce Prince Henry’s betrothal to a perfectly nice woman from a noble family. I mean, do they really think his “relationship” with the FSOTUS could last?
@PrincessBeatrice
@un1onj4cks0n I assure you, Henry will not be marrying a “perfectly nice woman from a noble family” anytime soon.
@ThePezOkonjo
@PrincessBeatrice I’M WHEEZING
11. Just spitting some facts here. William Shakespeare has been pretty quiet ever since the emails leaked.
@ohmymymyy
let's face it: hrh prince henry could write romeo and juliet but shakespeare couldn’t write this
[photo: a screenshot of one of Prince Henry’s emails, the part wherein he wrote, “Should I tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I’ve just been with you, the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck fresh and not imagined? That I can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache? That, for a few moments, I can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?”]
12. I can’t believe I’ve reached a point in my life wherein I hyperventilate about a couple eating barbecue together, but nothing’s impossible, I guess.
@FirstprinceHuh
SO @AClaremontDiaz have you taken prince henry to franklin barbecue yet and have him wait in line and eat cow parts
@AClaremontDiaz
@FirstprinceHuh yes and i'm probably gonna relieve that moment until the day i die
@NoraHolleran
@AClaremontDiaz wait what how did we not know about this??
@AClaremontDiaz
@NoraHolleran because it was a no-nora-allowed trip
[photo: picture of Prince Henry with barbecue sauce all over his mouth, and he’s even got some on his nose. He’s smiling widely at the camera, looking proud of himself]
@NoraHolleran
@AClaremontDiaz traitorous fuckers
13. We all screamed at this part. Don’t deny it.
@0btusefkcngasshole
my kind of kink: “see attached bibliography”
@ThePezOkonjo
I know you’re an English major and all, but GET IT TOGETHER MAN @HRH_PrinceHenry. Also, miss you. See you soon?
14. Apart from Alex and Henry’s private lives, let’s not forget that other people close to them were also involved in this issue. Honestly, Princess Beatrice is such a strong and admirable person. We love her.
@PrincessBeatrice
I will not deny the things that have been recently confirmed about me because I am not ashamed of my past. I would, however, like to direct the public’s attention to something of much more importance than the speculations about my private life.
@PrincessBeatrice
This upcoming month, I would be launching the Beatrice Trust Foundation. It is a charity fund that aims to support all the addiction recovery programs all over the UK. More information can be found here: @BTFoundation
15. I love this so much. If I had the chance to repeat high school, I would 100% make this my yearbook quote.
@waterlulucyvase
RIP Jane Austen, you would’ve loved HRH Prince Henry of Wales
16. Don’t yell at me for not warning you. I did tell you to keep your tissues close, didn’t I? Don’t worry. If it helps, I wasn’t fucking prepared in the slightest for this thread either.
@frstprncotp
look, I may be reading into this wrong, but I can’t get it out of my head and I wanna hear what y’all thought too so hear me out: (1/6)
@frstprncotp
so we know that prince henry’s been in love with alex for years right? since the rio olympics. and there’s also a part in one of alex’s emails when he tells henry that president claremont fired him from the campaign and y’all what shook me was henry’s response to that (2/6)
@frstprncotp
“I just want to . . . you know. Extend the option. If you wanted less of me, and more of that—the work, the uncomplicated things—I would understand. Truly.” (3/6)
@frstprncotp
prince henry already loved alex at that time and was forming some sort of relationship with him at that point, but here, we see that he tried to backtrack and give alex an out because he knew the position in his mother’s campaign was important to him and (4/6)
@frstprncotp
he didn’t want him to lose that. and i just can’t imagine how painful it must’ve been for him to say that? to act like losing what he has with alex was fine. but then again, (5/6)
@frstprncotp
that probably not the worst thing prince henry’s ever done because of the crown and this ugly world and ugh I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY OKAY (6/6)
17. If they don’t have this framed and displayed in their home, I would be personally willing to send over a hundred copies to their brownstone. Not even kidding.
@buttermahbeer
man did this interaction age so well
[photo: a close-up and slightly blurry candid of Alex and Prince Henry from the 2016 Rio Olympics. The two seem to be introducing themselves to each other]
@buttermahbeer
ok a lot of u were asking what i’m referring to and it’s this part of their emails:
[photo: a screenshot of one of Prince Henry’s emails, the part wherein he wrote, “But the first time I saw you. Rio. I took that down to the gardens. I pressed it into the leaves of a silver maple and recited it to the Waterloo Vase. It didn’t fit in any rooms.”]
18. The fact that future generations would have two role models such as Alex and Henry to look up to while growing up makes me feel a little bit better about our world we live in. We really don’t deserve these two.
@HRH_PrinceHenry
One of the kids at the shelter just came up to me and asked if they could use a line from the emails for their sign at the NYC Pride March next week. If this is how we’ll fit into history, then I’m perfectly happy with it @AClaremontDiaz.
@AClaremontDiaz
@HRH_PrinceHenry happy fucking pride, baby
19. If anyone does find Prince Henry’s Tumblr account, please do the world a favor and comment the link on this article. I can give you my firstborn in exchange for it.
@pr1nchenry_is_a_f0x
HRH Prince Henry is a goddamn romantic, a fucking amazing writer, and literally the embodiment of Prince Charming—we’ve established that. But why isn’t no one talking about how witty that man is? His sarcasm and dark, self-deprecating humor? Literally the blueprint for any people on Twitter or Tumblr. I love him.
@pr1nchenry_is_a_f0x
RECEIPTS:
[photo: a screenshot of one of Prince Henry’s emails, the part wherein he wrote, “If I’m north, I shudder to think where in God’s name we’re going.”]
[photo: a screenshot of one of Prince Henry’s emails, the part wherein he wrote, “A royal stick is formally known as a ‘scepter.’”]
[photo: a screenshot of one of Prince Henry’s emails, the part wherein he wrote, “Please do keep me in your—what is it American politicians say?—thoughts and prayers.”]
@pr1nchenry_is_a_f0x
GOLDEN I TELL YOU
20. Somebody tell Merriam-Webster to edit the definition of bravery ASAP.
@royaltymyass
i know the emails are making everybody cry and all, but y’know what’s tearing my heart out?? the fact that prince henry’s and alex’s hearts are basically bared open for all the media to pick apart and yet they decided not to lie about it??? (1/3)
@royaltymyass
this is the kind of issue that the institutions they are a part of desperately try to cover but they still chose to be true to themselves despite the backlash they know they would a hundred percent receive (2/3)
@royaltymyass
and not only that, but to also use their positions and the influence that they have to help the queer community is nothing short of incredible. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what i would call bravery (3/3)
21. Ah, yes. The day when my skin cleared, my non-existent children fed, my crops flourished, my chicken seasoned, and my wig snatched.
@Firstprince_Updates
NO NOBODY TOUCH ME I’M VERY FRAGILE RIGHT NOW
[photo: a screenshot of one of Prince Henry’s emails, the part wherein he wrote, “Sometimes I imagine moving to New York to take over launching Pez’s youth shelter there. Just leaving.”]
@DailyMailUK
Prince Henry will soon be moving to New York indefinitely for the launch of his youth shelter, and will also be living with partner Alex Claremont-Diaz, who will be attending NYU Law this coming fall semester, private source claims
22. This girl tweets about her breakdown over #Firstprince every day, and honestly, no one can blame her. We’re all still emotional messes over these two. Don’t lie, Felicia.
@sophdxnielles
update: it’s been 387389 hours since i’ve read THE emails and now I can’t even go to my history class without bursting into tears because hISTORY HUH BET WE COULD MAKE SOMEDJSKDSDJHJDFKJ
23. It’s a proven fact that there’s absolutely nothing Prince Charming could do that we wouldn’t fawn over.
@david4president
the context of this is awful, i know, but finding out prince henry stress eats jaffa cakes is something that made my non-existent heart beat again
24. Alex and Henry may be THE power couple, but let’s not forget that they’re also just two people in their early twenties who also go through the awkward part of the whole dating process a.k.a. Meet The Parents ™
@waterloovaseee
okay so prince henry met oscar diaz when they went to the lake house in texas OH MY GOD !! i wonder how that went
@HRH_PrinceHenry
@waterloovaseee “Hope you’re ready to fucking party.”
@NoraHolleran
@HRH_PrinceHenry man, that day was awesome
@AClaremontDiaz
@HRH_PrinceHenry @NoraHolleran are you two forgetting something about that day
@NoraHolleran
@AClaremontDiaz oof you handle this lol adhdsjkfhdsjk @HRH_PrinceHenry
25. To Alex Claremont-Diaz: How does it feel like to wake up every day knowing you have the fucking prince of England wrapped around your finger? Asking for a friend.
@AClaremontDiaz
saw this tweet and felt all warm inside because it was romantic as hell and when i showed it to henry he just looked at me like in the office
@first_son_of_who_cares
Y’ALL I’M GOING FERAL OVER THIS LINE: I thought, this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, and I had better keep it a safe distance away from me. I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire.
@AClaremontDiaz
i don’t even know which to unpack first: me not recognizing that it was addressed to ME by henry, or the fact that henry’s slowly becoming a normal person by learning american pop culture references??
@HRH_PrinceHenry
@AClaremontDiaz If you ever ask me again why I pester you to get more than two hours of sleep, just look at this, will you?
+ A BONUS TWEET because oh my god their friendship is honestly the best thing to ever exist
@NoraHolleran
why are people so mad at alex for “leaving me for henry” i mean i would also leave that bitch for prince henry have u seen his face i wanna lick it
@HRH_PrinceHenry
@NoraHolleran You may, but don’t tell Alex
