Prince Harry security status court case

[PaulaSB12]

Well the royal idiot has taken the uk government because he wants taxpayer security team with security information from the government. This was first mentioned last year as harry wanting to pay to have uk armed police (there are not that many cops don’t carry guns as routine) while you can hire retired police security you can not hire current working police officer. Well it turns out harry wants armed guards at taxpayer expense. Also entitled to intelligence information from mi5 etc. these where removed from andrews girlsin 2012. His goal is to be granted by law the status of international protected person status. If he gets that it means when ever he is in a country like America where they live he will have the right to tax payer security guards. Again he wants the right to slag of his queen and country and be a private person to make money yet still get the perks of being a royal. Remember if he gets international protected person status YOU will pay for his security detail.

So he doesn't want to be a royal but he wants to be treated like a royal.

Bonkers! That's what Harry said about our freedom of speech here in the US. He's bonkers, self-centered and it also appears he's a leech to the British people and apparently trying to be one to the citizens of the US as well. He can go back to England if he doesn't like it here, I don't think anyone will miss him.

 

[Cheburashka]

Ugh. Harry is awful now. Entitled, arrogant, self-pitying, eternally privileged. Yuck.

We don't want the Ginger Whinger back, thank you very much.

He should be paying for his own security as he had tons of money.. given to him

 

[snappy]

Wants to have his cake and eat it too

 

[Planogirl]

No just no. What a sense of entitlement.

I am of mixed feelings about this.

I am tired of Harry and Meghan and their constant complaining, demands, ooh look at me behavior, etc. etc. I can't blame them for not wanting to live in the fishbowl of British Royal life, and as one of Diana's boys to boot. But if you want to leave then just leave. Don't say you want a private life then court media attention all the time.

That said, he was born into his position. He didn't choose it. Yes, Beatrice and Eugenie lost their armed security details but really, it's not as if they are on the same level as far as media attention and, I would assume, threats and attention from crazies that Harry is. They are all the grandchildren of the sovereign, yes, but Harry is a few notches higher up on that particular yardstick than they are. I don't know what the media coverage is for Beatrice and Eugenie in the UK but here, they do appear in the press some but not nearly to the level that Harry and William do. Granted, Harry courts that intentionally and it woud likely diminish over time if he and Megan would hush up and live the private lives they claim they want. One of the York girls, don't remember which, was just skiing in the Alps and got on a public bus with her family. Neither WIlliam or Harry could do that.

I'm not sure how much security he would need in the UK anyway. I mean really. If they go back to visit they will likely be staying at royal residences and spending most of their time with family. You know, people higher up on the royal food chain who do have a security detail. It's not as if they woudl stand idly by as someone tried to kidnap one of the Sussexes.

I do NOT think he should be entitled to tax payer funded security in the US. Not US taxpayer funds anyway.

 

[jdb in AZ]

If Harry and Meghan want to avoid the public eye, why is she making noises about running for a U.S. office?

 

[ronandannette]

The Sussex’ cost Canadian tax payers almost $400,000 as they arrived uninvited and contemplated setting up house. They retained their status as Internationally Protected Persons until early 2020, which meant Canada was obligated to provide security. So not sorry to have seen them go.

I am struggling most with the rumour that Harry only offered to pay for it himself when the story broke. Apparently that was not in the very first draft of this complaint.

On the other hand, it is complicated. As I understand it: Harry wants armed guards at all times with the intelligence of the UK government. He cannot hire outside security for this as they are not allowed to wear arms and do not have access the same information.

But from the government's point of view, you cannot have four guards on standby to have them ready whenever Harry wants to come over. Even if he is paying for it himself, that is easier said than done.

My other issue is how is Harry going to do this in other countries? He is coming to NL this summer for the Invictus Games and the people who are apparently want to get to him can just as easily take him down here. Probably even easier.

Harry also has another court case, just started, against the Daily Mail again, but luckily he found time between the court cases to publish a statement that they stand with Ukraine.

Just shaking my head at how he has squandered so much public love and support over time.

I presume it would be similar to any other celebrity when they appear or perform. If he is going as a formal part of the Games, he has probably negotiated security into the arrangements as a responsibility of the Organizers.

Nah... when in Rome...

We put Harry on a bike and let him race through a busy public park!

This was three years ago, before the Big Split when Harry still lived in the UK and had his royal security.

Well, there’s no way to know for sure, but it’s possible Diana may have done the same thing if her life hadn’t been tragically cut short, immortalizing her beloved public image. There have been lots of seemingly credible reports of her extreme bitterness towards the Firm and her erratic and impulsive behaviour, perhaps geared more towards vexing them than anything else. Was her tell-all interview, and the book she purposely fed to the press really that much different in intent than the Oprah debacle?

 

[soccerdad72]

As an American, I've been told I'm not supposed to care or comment...

 

[VandVsmama]

Back when they did that stupid Oprah interview, I got a lot of lip for calling him an entitled brat and for saying that Meghan is an opportunist. From the looks of it, I wasn’t wrong.

 

[LuvOrlando]

It does seem that he actually inspires more hatred than his rapist uncle so I think it is justified concern for himself, his biracial wife and their biracial babies (and yes I do think racism has a lot to do with this). Diana tried to escape the life and ended up dead in spite of Dodi Fayed having access to private billions via his family so there is plainly a difference in private sector care and public sector care, all you need to do is look at his mom as proof. Maybe there was bigotry there too? The 90's were worse than now and now doesn't seem to be so great. Since they are in the US the brunt would be born by the US, and since, in the US we probably pay same for warlords and other such monsters through diplomatic status who I don't even know about, it does seem justified. Chances are good that the US would be paying to watch him anyway on the downlow because it would be absurd to ignore someone so high profile, so why not make it above the table?

MAYBE if people would stop spewing so much venom it could be relaxed but for now it seems they need as much protection as possible, those poor babies will need protection from the kooks who seem unhinged.
It is laughable to think he, his wife or babies are living the life of his brother and his family.

 

[RedAngie]

The comments in this thread are examples of why he needs armed security.

What a shock!!!
