The odd royal rule that means Prince George has to change the way he travels
Prince George just turned 12, and his parents celebrated in the way they do every year: with an official photoshoot posted to Instagram! Oh, and a cute video of George and his siblings frolicking around the countryside: Anyway, now that George is 12 apparently there are going to be some major changes to his security. According to the Daily Mail, "his parents have been urged to take care to ensure the safety of the future king," which means George will likely start traveling apart from Prince William and Kate Middleton. A former royal helicopter pilot notes that Prince William stopped traveling with his parents when he was 12, saying "Interestingly, we flew all four–the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old. After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty. When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on." As for why George (and William before him) has to fly separately, apparently it's to ensure the safety of the succession. A "friend of William and Catherine" confirmed that "William is a skilled pilot and loves flying but George must travel separately now," while a Kensington Palace spokesman simply said: "We don't comment on travel." Either way, the issue has allegedly been a source of disagreement between Prince William and his father. Per royal author Robert Jobson, "One recent source of disagreement is William's stubborn refusal to take his father's advice on safeguarding the succession. Earlier this year, the King had raised concerns with his son about the wisdom of William using his helicopter to fly his entire family around the country."

South Park Creators Reveal Network ‘Notes' For Episode That Mocked Trump
The writer-producers of 'South Park', Trey Parker and Matt Stone, addressed the reaction to the season 27 premiere of their show—which prominently skewered President Donald Trump—during a panel at the 2025 San Diego Comic Con on Thursday night, where they also described the 'notes' they received from the network about the show. Matt Stone, Trey Parker at the Comedy Central Adult Animation panel at the 2025 Comic-Con ... More International: San Diego. Variety via Getty Images Parker and Stone were featured on the 'Comedy Central Adult Animation' alongside comedian and 'Digman!' creator Andy Samberg and 'Beavis and Butt-Head' and 'King of the Hill' creator Mike Judge. The panel began with Parker and Stone being asked if they anticipated the strong reaction to their latest episode, to which Parker jokingly apologized, saying, 'We're terribly sorry.' The panel didn't heavily focus on the episode itself, but while talking about receiving notes from the network for some episodes, Judge asked the 'South Park' creators if they had received any for Wednesday's Season 27 opener. They said the network informed them that the image of the president's genitalia—which appeared during a mock PSA depicting a AI-generated Trump where he is fully naked—would get blurred out. Parker claimed he pushed back, saying 'No, you're not gonna blur the penis,' before Stone pointed out that they added eyes to the genetalia to tackle that. Stone then said this was followed by a conversation 'with a lot of grown-up' people for four days, insisting that the network can't blur the genitalia because it was a 'character.' 'South Park', which is no stranger to controversies, aired its first full episode in more than two years on Wednesday. The episode focused mainly on Trump and Paramount—the parent company of the network and streamer that airs 'South Park.' Multiple segments throughout the show depicted a cartoon version of the president getting in bed with Satan, who is shown as Trump's lover, in a callback to the early days of the show, where Satan and former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein were depicted as romantic partners. Jesus Christ, who has been a regular character in the show, reappears in the fictional town of South Park during the premiere and says he had to do this because of the 'lawsuit and an agreement with Paramount,' an apparent jab at the media giant's $16 million settlement with the president. When townspeople ask him for more details, Jesus retorts, 'Do you really want to end up like Colbert?' a reference to the late-night host whose show was canceled by CBS. The show also features repeated depictions of Trump with comedically small genitals, which enrages the fictional version of the president. How Has The White House Reacted To The Episode? The show triggered an angry reaction from the White House, with a spokesperson for the president describing 'South Park' as a 'fourth-rate' show. 'The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after 'South Park' for what they labeled as 'offense' content, but suddenly they are praising the show,' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told several outlets. 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.'
