Britain’s royal family warned Monday that it will block internet trolls posting offensive messages on its social media channels — and may report offenders to police.
Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace spelled out the policy banning offensive, hateful and racist language.
The royal households say they reserve the right to determine who is violating their guidelines, and whether or not comments could be blocked.
The guidelines come amid concern about the online abuse aimed at the wives of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Much of the social media abuse has centered around rival fans of the Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton and the Duchess of Sussex, the former Meghan Markle.
The Royals say guidelines were introduced to try to maintain a safe environment on their social media channels and calls for users to show “courtesy, kindness and respect.”
