The Prince’s antics at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee may see him not attend the May 6 event

It’s no secret the youngest royal stole the show at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and his royal antics might get him banned from future events.

Prince Louis may not attend King Charles’ coronation on May 6 due to his behaviour at past events.

Louis made headlines in June last year for the funny faces he made on the balcony at Queen Elizabeth the second’s Platinum Jubilee.

A palace source who leaked the news told Page Six “He’s only four, after all.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s other two children will attend.

An official Kensington Palace spokesperson says “The Prince and Princess of Wales will make a decision on Prince Louis’ attendance closer to the time.”

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.

The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
