UK Peas: please explain Pr Harry & Security?

My understanding is that he was wanting to buy protection from the Metropolitan Police at the same level they would give to the working Royals.  As he is no longer a working Royal, it was deemed that he should be treated as a normal citizen and not be allowed to buy that protection.  In the same way as, say, George Clooney would not be allowed to buy it.   He (PH) is definitely allowed to have his own security when here on whatever business, be it formal or informal but I think that that security are not allowed to be armed and they will not be privy to any intelligence sharing with the police and Home Office over possible threats - the same as, say, George Clooney's personal security.   PH should forewarn the Home Office and Metropolitan Police before he arrives in the country and a decision as to the level of protection he is to receive will be made pertinent to each visit.  Depending on the nature of his business here he will receive the type of protection he says he is entitled to and other times he won't.

Princess Anne, Prince Edward and family, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Mike and Zara Tindall and all the rest of the family do not have the level of protection he has been insisting on. They only get it for formal Royal events and even then not all of them do. The level of tax payer funded protection is based on a risk assessment and the nature of their duties.

PH has been wittering in various media about wanting to reconcile with his family but his father has been refusing to speak with him.   Well there's an emotive statement, as PH would understand when he said it.  However, King Charles knew that he should not speak to Harry to avoid jeopardising the Court case which, in effect, was Harry suing King Charles (the Home Office).  

He wants the armed bodyguards and the intelligence sharing.  He's brought a lot of any perceived threats on himself by boasting of his kills when on active service.  He and Meghan take off to Nigeria and Colombia yet claim the UK is too dangerous for them?  He needs to get over himself.

They weren't particularly hounded by the press when they were here, iirc.  They like to draw attention to themselves.  Meghan attended a performance of Gypsy on Broadway the other day, arriving in a 4 car motorcade, with NYPD officers.  Was that necessary?   I'm sure there have been plenty of "famous celebrities" attending various shows on Broadway without, to coin a phrase, making a song and dance about it.   I bet had she just arrived in one car with a bodyguard no one would have realised it was her nor given her a second glance - but that's the whole point, isn't it.  

There was nothing to escape, they chose to leave.

Meghan has been accused of copying a Spanish town's coat of arms that has been in existence for centuries.   The town can not afford to take legal action about it.

The charity is Sentebale, set up by Harry and a Prince of Lesotho in the early 2000s to help people affected by aids/HIV.  Harry, the other Prince and, I believe some other trustees, have all stepped down in a row with the female leader of the board of trustees and she is applying to the High Court to stay in her position.  There is a lot more to it than that and she, a black corporate lawyer, has accused Harry of, among other things, being a bully and a racist.  Not the first time he's been accused of bullying behaviour.  

I couldn’t really get to the bottom of that story. She didn’t come across well if I recall…to have alienated everyone?

Thanks for the link gillyp - makes more sense now.

Interesting…

I think they are at the FAFO stage. You can't have it all.

She has delusions of grandeur.

At the beginning of Megxit, I was rooting for them. I know what it is like and what it takes to leave family/cult (not saying RF is a cult) behind. Their actions continually proved they were lying. Privacy isn’t putting yourself in the public eye over and over to the point of obnoxiousness. Don’t want to be a working Royal, yet they go on the faux Royal visits. 

They want people to believe their words and ignore their actions. 

Harry and Meghan are proving the old rumors to be true. She’s neither likeable or truthful. He’s dumb as a box of rocks. The RF protected him from his consequences, resulting in someone who doesn’t recognize the consequences of his actions now.

This is where I am on the whole thing. 

They gambled that they could have it all when they left, and well, they can't. I think it's past time that they are forced to deal with the consequences of their decisions. And the little bit about PH forgiving his family? SMH. He is something else. 

This is kind of how I feel too.  He was probably used to being the *spare*.  It’s all he knew. All those feelings of inadequacy and second.  Once M came along, she probably pointed it out to him how he was being treated.  Either actually or imaged.  It’s extremely complicated, obviously.  And the feelings of not being enough, have not gone away.  He’s actually made it worse.  
IMHO, it’s never about the money or the this or that.  It’s about how you feel.  

He made unproven allegations and the BBC interviewer was so busy slobbering over him, they never called him on anything. Harry imagines danger around every corner and views everything through the lens of victimhood. Meghan feeds his delusions. They’re unhinged.
