Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why is this "World news". Fuck this man, I don't need to hear anything about him.
Pretty sure he has the money to hire his own security.
“I don’t want to be royalty any longer, it’s gauche, I just want all the benefits that royalty get.”
Fuck your entire lineage.
He could just like, offer to pay for protection
He could.
But a life of entitlement conditions him to getting everything he wants, for free.
Since he left the Royal “firm”, he’s finding life on the outside isn’t as easy.
To be fair, it's nothing he did that makes him a target for criminals. It's the fault of the UK making him a famous child and now-remotely possible future head of state, so the UK should probably restore balance by keeping him safe while here.
Well, according to the article they're "looking at all available options". It seems the major part of this is that the decision to not provide that taxpayer funded security came very late in the planning stages, so now they're scrambling to figure out other options.
It may just mean a postponed trip, but as this one was based on external events (Invictus Games, per the article) the reason for the visit may not longer exist.
funny
when they are civilians suddenly being in their own country is unliveable without a private military
I wish the worldwide media would decline reporting anything to do with those two.
Fair enough. He's not a working royal, why should they pay for his protection?
Because the association is the cause. This isn't something he's done himself.
Does he need it? As long as he stays with family there will be security.
