Hello, Internet user! The USA TODAY Tumblr is designed to inform and surprise you with the best of the web (you know, as good Tumblrs do). Curated by Mary Hartney Nahorniak and the social media team.
We greatly value the important relationships we have with our trusted intelligence, law enforcement and security partners around the world. These relationships enable us to collaborate and share privileged and sensitive information that allows us to defeat terrorism and protect the public at home and abroad. When that trust is breached it undermines these relationships, and undermines our investigations and the confidence of victims, witnesses and their families...

Statement from Britain's National Counter Terrorism Policing unit, after reports indicate that the U.K. stops sharing Manchester bombing intel with the U.S. following leaks.

Twenty people at a packed nightclub here suffered chemical burns from an acid-like substance thrown at them on April 17, an attack that authorities say reflects a frightening trend.

Toxic substances such as drain cleaner are being used as weapons more frequently, apparently as a result of a crackdown on guns and knives in recent years.

Metropolitan Police figures from March show attacks involving corrosive fluids in London jumped 74% from 261 in 2015 to 454 in 2016 — a huge spike from 166 in 2014. Across Britain, such attacks increased 30% between 2012 and 2015, according to the London Times.

Duchess Kate is beloved for recycling wardrobe pieces, but when it comes to St. Patrick's Day attire, she's been known to repeat the same shade, too.

She trotted out her go-to hue of forest green as she joined Prince William to hand out shamrocks at the annual Irish Guards St. Patrick's Day parade in London Friday at their barracks in Hounslow, West London.

Kate accessorized her custom, military-style Catherine Walker coat with a matching hat and Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, and topped off the ensemble with an Irish Guard brooch. (Photo: Dan Kitwood, Getty)

The United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II became the world’s longest reigning monarch on Thursday, following the death of Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej. He had been on the throne for 70 years.

The 90-year-old British royal, who has been Queen for 64 years and eight months, became the U.K’s longest-serving monarch ever last year, when she surpassed Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother.

Royalty tops the 'Vanity Fair' best-dressed list

Yes, the British queen. She's 90, and hasn't really been a fashion icon since ... well, maybe the 1950s or 1960s.

So it's likely to be heartening to those of certain age to learn that a woman in her 10th decade, who usually wears more or less the same outfit in different colors, is being honored with a first-ever special citation for "steadfastness in dress." (Photos: Getty)
