How to recognise an official royal website

Official websites of the Kingdom carry the royal crest, the five bands of the national flag and a document reference on every page. They never ask for your TBT. If a website claims to be the Crown and asks for your bank details, it is not the Crown, and the Pug Intelligence Unit would like a word.
