Twitter Bans Fake Social Media Account Using Identity of Grand Duke George

On August 19, the Chancellery of the Russian Imperial House issued a public statement regarding the web and social media accounts of the Russian Imperial House.

A subsequent announcement listed the “official” web and social media accounts of the Imperial House, including, in particular, those of Grand Duke George and Princess Victoria Romanovna on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, and YouTube.

RL notes that a Twitter account using the name of Grand Duke George had been tweeting political material since 2015. This account, which had no connection to the Grand Duke was shut down by Twitter today. We applaud Twitter for taking fast action on this matter.

For reference, the “official” web and social accounts of the Imperial House are:

We are very glad that the illegal account has been suspended, and hope that those interested in the work of the Russian Imperial House will follow their legitimate and official accounts.
