The King, Camilla, William, Catherine, and their kids get protection all the time. Other royals such as Anne, Edward, and Sophie only have it when carrying out duties on behalf of the crown. Eugenie and Beatrice lost theirs when they slipped to 5th in line to the throne.

I'm in the UK and have just been diagnosed with leukaemia. From initial GP visit to start of treatment, 2 weeks.They told me if it had been at a more aggressive stage, treatment would have been even quicker. Obviously, I am thankful that I don't live in the US, so I don't have to worry about paying.

After Trump was elected, suddenly people I followed started openly showing support for him. At that point, the whole platform seemed to swing massively to the right. I then left X.

I deactivated my account a week ago. X removed the option to see who was liking posts, so there was obviously coordination going on to promote certain ones. I kept getting followed by bots without a notification. Made me wonder if X itself was generating them.

Parenting a child with SEND. My child is autistic and we have to make loads of accommodations in daily life, particularly in regard to his sensory and communication difficulties. I also live with the fear of who will advocate for him after I'm no longer here.
