Prince Andrew has reportedly been left ‘crushed and confused’ after he was banned from attending this week’s Garter Day service

The 62-year-old Duke of York was nowhere to be seen as the pompous ceremony kicked off, one of the most colourful days on the royal calendar.

It’s believed Prince William and his father, Charles were the two individuals who intervened, ensuring their disgraced relative was not allowed to take part.

William allegedly threatened to pull out of the event altogether if his uncle took part, and was ‘alarmed’ at even the prospect Andrew was going to be in attendance.

It’s believed the final decision was made only hours prior to the event kicking off, as Andrew’s name was left on the order of service.

Meanwhile, 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth attended some of the private elements of the event, even posing for a photograph with her son, Charles and his wife, Camilla.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
