Unlike the traditional press (which sticks to strict privacy rules), social media remains the Wild West
GB News' Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker has analysed the big challenge awaiting Prince George as he becomes a teenager, examined King Charles's calm approach amid political turmoil, and detailed how the King and Queen surprised royal fans at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony by arriving in a Tardis.
The big challenge facing Prince George in the years ahead
To mark Prince George becoming a teenager this week, Kensington Palace released a new photograph and holiday video.
The 13-year-old has arguably enjoyed a far more stable upbringing than his father, Prince William, who was just 10 when his parents separated in 1992.
Prince William was regularly snapped by paparazzi photographers in his teenage years and early adulthood, but did enjoy the relative privacy behind Palace walls, in pubs and nightclubs.
Sadly, Prince George is of the generation where most people have a smartphone, equipped with a camera and internet access.
Unlike the traditional press (which sticks to strict privacy rules), social media remains the Wild West; nothing is stopping random members of the public snapping the future King during private time, and uploading it for the world to see.
Kensington Palace could find it difficult in the years ahead to control what's going viral on the internet.
Even if mainstream publications do not publish, in all likelihood, undesirable content could still appear on millions of phone screens around the world.
It's thought social media companies actively take down unauthorised pictures of the Waleses' children when they emerge online, but as Prince George becomes more independent, there's a danger it could become a game of Whack-A-Mole.
So, how can Prince George and his parents help maintain his right to a private life, and enjoy the freedom of his teenage years?
Keeping a trusted circle of friends, who would not post content of the young prince to social media, could be one way to help.
Exclusive clubs and bars, particularly in London, ban the taking of photographs or the use of mobile phones too.
In any case, Prince George has been well prepared by his parents to face the glare of the world's cameras, by slowly introducing him to the media and public engagements.
As future King, his destiny is already set, but allowing him time to grow up as a normal teenager might be in the best interests of the nation.
King keeps calm and carries on despite political turmoil
King Charles carried out one of his most important constitutional duties this week, at the age of 77 and still receiving cancer treatment.
Appointing a new Prime Minister, and accepting the resignation of an old one, is part of the job.
However, Andy Burnham is His Majesty's fourth Prime Minister in less than four years.
Despite the political turmoil in the United Kingdom, His Majesty refused to cancel long-planned diary commitments in another part of the country.
On Monday morning, the King travelled from his Gloucestershire home (Highgrove) via helicopter to the Kensington Palace helipad.
He was then driven two and a half miles to Buckingham Palace to receive Sir Keir Starmer and his family, followed shortly afterwards by Andy Burnham, who in turn was invited to form a new administration.
Despite the busy morning, His Majesty left the Palace very soon after his new Prime Minister, travelling back to the helipad to embark on a trip which had been in the diary for months/
King Charles flew to Cambridge, where he visited the city's Central Mosque and opened a new laboratory at the University of Cambridge.
The following day, King Charles returned to London for a Privy Council meeting at St James's Palace, where several members of Andy Burnham's new cabinet were sworn in.
His Majesty also held an audience with Louise Haigh MP, as she was sworn in as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Adding to his workload, the King later received Her Excellency the Hon. Samantha Mostyn, the Governor-General of Australia.
After a busy Tuesday, he travelled back to Sandringham to attend the RSH Sandringham Flower Show on Wednesday, arriving in style on a horse-drawn carriage with Queen Camilla.
Rex-terminate! King and Queen travel in Tardis for Commonwealth Games
The King and Queen made a surprise entrance during the Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Thursday night, flying in a Tardis.
Ahead of the Royal arrival, a videotape played featuring Doctor Who's iconic time machine's journey round Scotland, operated by the country's legendary athlete Sir Chris Hoy and Scottish actor Greg McHugh.
The Tardis eventually landed at Balmoral Castle, having visited several famous Scottish locations, including Loch Ness and Edinburgh Castle.
Much of the ceremony was underpinned by the theme of time, and the BBC's sci-fi police box was modelled on the historic real-life police telephone boxes still seen in Glasgow today.
Thursday wasn't the first time we have seen a British monarch interact with Doctor Who.
During the 2007 Christmas Special, Voyage of the Damned, a fictional Queen Elizabeth II was forced to evacuate Buckingham Palace as a replica of the Titanic fell from space, only to be saved by The Doctor at the last second.
The then-Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall also visited the set of Doctor Who in Cardiff to mark the series' 50th anniversary in 2013.
