How does this work if you're not actually the mother of a single royal family member, nor did you raise one as a surrogate parent? I'm lost here.

@ColinWKemp tweeted:

Please please please confirm The Grimm emulates The Onion and similar sites? It is so difficult to tell these days, and this does, just, sound like the sort of nonsense some forelock tugging monarchists would like to see!

'April fool come early'

However, the person who wrote the tweet told Reuters that they run a parody account and that the claim is indeed false.

Others seemed to clue into the satire. User @DrKMcKenzie tweeted:
