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.

He's already not done himself any favours. The way he ogled one of the presenters as he went into the house made him look sleazy.

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.

It's a bit windy here in the UK with storm Darragh. Trampoline hasn't left the garden, thankfully.

I like Star Trek. We watch a lot of sci-fi in our house, particularly Doctor Who, Star Wars and Star Trek. Just ordered a cross-over comic of Doctor Who and Star Trek that I'd never seen before for my autistic son. He will love it.

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.
Mindy Kisby (@mindykisby.bsky.social) reply parent
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.
Mindy Kisby (@mindykisby.bsky.social) reply parent
I was shocked that people I was following on X for completely different topics suddenly revealed they supported Trump.

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.

I agree, I'm in the UK. How can our government stay on a social media platform that is run by a non UK state. That is basically what x is now. A state run social media platform. X could censor anything that the UK government posts.

Please signpost parents/carers of children/young people with SEND to the fantastic charity IPSEA for *independent* advice. www.ipsea.org.uk

My son's school fobbed me off for years as to why they couldn't put the request in. I was told every excuse in the book. And yet the threshold for getting the EHCP needs assessment is actually really low.
Mindy Kisby (@mindykisby.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm in several SEND facebook groups. Always recommending IPSEA for their template letters to help parents put a request in for an EHCP assessment.

My autistic son has a white noise machine. We have to take it on holiday with us. It helps him not get fixated on other noises such as his own heartbeat. I had to get an ECG for him once as he got fixated and was convinced there was something wrong.

Yeah. I deactivated my X account a few days ago. Hoping for some more big accounts to move over. Wonder how long before UK politicians have to move over. How can they stay on X, which has now basically become a state run social media platform.
Mindy Kisby (@mindykisby.bsky.social) reply parent
X removed the option for people to see who had liked a post. So we can't see if real people had liked the posts or whether it was bots. This means that X could artificially promote certain posts.
Mindy Kisby (@mindykisby.bsky.social) reply parent
It was odd that when one of these bot accounts followed me on X that I didn't get any notification that they had. Makes me wonder if X itself was adding them.
Mindy Kisby (@mindykisby.bsky.social) reply parent
I did. Deactivated it a few days ago.

I'm thinking that eventually, UK government accounts will have to leave X and migrate to here. How can our politicians in the UK be sure their posts won't be censored or deprioritised if their posts are in any way critical of Trump's policies.
