Piers wrote: “I don’t know who did this but I love it…. and there has to be an outside chance Her Majesty has had a sneak peak, as I know other royals like Camilla & Fergie have read it.
He added: “If you haven’t yet, and you care about free speech, get your order in!”
Fans rushed to share their anger over the tweet.
