BRITAIN’S ROYAL FAMILY warned trolls on its social media accounts that they will be banned under new guidelines issued following abuse of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle – the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex.
Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace said that they could involve the police if there was a breach of the law.
Under the new guidelines, comments must not “be defamatory… obscene, offensive, threatening, abusive, hateful, inflammatory or promote sexually explicit material or violence”.
“We reserve the right to hide or delete comments made on our channels, as well as block users who do not follow these guidelines,” it added.
We also reserve the right to send any comments we deem appropriate to law enforcement authorities for investigation as we feel necessary or is required by law.
Almost 1,000 online posts have already been deleted, according to reports.
The royal family have not mentioned any specific online problems, but British gossip magazine Hello! last month reported that royal staff were spending hours every week removing abusive posts sent by ‘rival’ supporters of each duchess, amid reports that the two had fallen out.
Tabloids reported that Meghan made sister-in-law Kate cry during preparations for her wedding last year with Prince Harry.
The family denies a rift, and insists that Harry and Meghan’s plan to move out from living next door to his brother Prince William and Kate is driven by the imminent arrival of their first child, due next month.
It asked users to show “courtesy, kindness and respect for all other members of our social media communities.”
The royal family’s Twitter page has 3.8 million followers, while 4.5 million follow the official Instagram account.

Leo would u please have some consideration for the patients and staff of this hospital instead of reminiscing on Princess Diana and obsessed with your own PR unit.
@TheBluffmaster2: Must not forget Egypt & the holiday makers out there
Dignity,and a safe environment,that’s a start.
Unbelievable in this day and age.
Another group the government has no interest in which to spend money.
An absolute nightmare for those having to live and work there. Sounds like something from a backward third word country.
What amazes me is the mental health inspectorate does all these reports but they are just reports they have no power to implement change unlike hiqua. Hiqua was suppose to be extended to mental health facilities, this was discussed at goverment level oved 2years ago!
Next year thete will be another report from mhc but why usnt the facility told that certain changes have to be implemented or their license wont be reissued! Accountability
This is nothing new. About ten yrs ago I was in a psychiatric ward. One of the patients was smoking the funny stuff every day. The therapy room had a ps2 in it. Only game they had was mortal kombat, a pretty violent game by any standard. I was also given a razor and allowed to lock myself into the shower room. The counselling I received was asking me every day if I could fly or did I have super powers. Oh and I got to make candles. Thankfully I got my shît together thanks to family and friends.
Not good enough
The Staff working there probably run off there feet , don’t get time to clean an tidy the place . What a waste of money this is poor very sick people having to smoke out the window. God help us . Why do these inspections not look at how short these units are. Think this is a nice handy number if you get on board.
Quick! Give the HSE another billion euros so they can pay some managers and consultants to fix the problem!
have your say
