The Royal Family’s Official Website Accidentally Linked Out To A Porn Website

Someone get IT on the phone, ASAP - by marie claire
  • 18 Feb 2020

We’ve all had our fair share of technical mishaps over the years – accidentally forwarding a text to the wrong person or liking an Instagram photo of our new Tinder crush from 76 weeks ago.

But nothing quite compares to the awkward blunder the royal family dealt with over the weekend.

The family’s official website, Royal.uk, mistakenly redirected users to a porn website instead of one of the family’s charity partners. The organisation implicated is Welsh charity, Dolen Cymru, of which Prince Harry is a patron. According to reports from the Daily Mail and The Mirror, the royal family’s site sent users to a Chinese porn page.

It’s still unclear how such a significant mistake could have happened in the first place. Although the blunder was fixed quite quickly, the response wasn’t immediate enough to prevent the internet from taking notice, and despite being contacted for comment, there’s been no word from Buckingham Palace about the mishap as yet.

Dolen Cymru, the charity at the centre of the scandal, was founded in 1985, and works to create "lasting, positive change in the southern African Kingdom of Lesotho and in communities in Wales," according to its site.
