Britain’s ROYAL RULES

Britain’s royal family has issued guidelines for its social media followers following an onslaught of online abuse directed at Kate Middleton, duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan Markle, duchess of Sussex.

The new guidelines, released Monday, ban “obscene, offensive, threatening, abusive, hateful, inflammatory” comments and those that violate the platforms’ guidelines.

“We ask that anyone engaging with our social media channels shows courtesy, kindness and respect for all other members of our social media communities,” the royal family said in a statement.

The royal family said it reserves the right to hide or delete comments and block users that violate the guidelines, as well as send any comments to law enforcement authorities “as we feel necessary.”
