United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Didn't expect that. Hopefully she'll beat it! Can't imagine trying to reconcile that you've got cancer and then the public are making up conspiracy theories about you and your husband.
William has basically just found out his dad and wife both have cancer, that's got to be tough.
I wonder if they'd even announced it had it not been for the media frenzy over the last month or so. Can't imagine trying to shield your children from this.
I'd think they'd maybe mention at some point but probably later and definitely not on video. The video was solely because of the nonsense that happened over the photo.
They released an official statement saying the woman had personally photoshopped her own photo because graphic design is her passion.
This really wasn't the general public's fault.
They asked the public to give her privacy while she went through a health concern. The public started claiming she was dead. Fuck the public.
They could always end the monarchy if they don't want attention.
Yes because it's well known that when people leave the royal family that they're left alone and not chased to their death in a tunnel in Paris.
Using a car accident to defend a family that sits on a 10 billion dollar gold throne and tells the public to tighten their belt during these hard times
Sorry. Please point me to when a member of the royal family did this?
The particular ghoul that did that was King Charles

Don't strawman, you said they'd get privacy if they weren't royals, I showed you a very good example where that isn't the case.
That wasn't me.
No they didn't, they released statements saying she was just getting her graphic design degree. Lmao
That absolutely didn't happen
They literally made her take the blame for the photoshop fuckup
Do you believe in flat earth too?
I can't imagine the sad things that needed to happen in your life to make you defend the British Royal Family on Lemmy in 2024. If you need to be a boot licker than at least suck Elon Musk off instead, still embarrassing but at least you'd have evolved past the 16th Century.

Are you confused? None of that suggests she was forced to 'take the blame'.
Also, not falling for weird conspiracy theories about a woman with cancer is not 'defending the royals'.
