To think Meghan Markle has every right to worry about her security?

No one I know in real life has any strong feelings about MM - the unhinged stuff you see online doesn't reflect reality thank goodness. Agree it is disturbing behaviour and reflects all kinds of social pathologies involving race, gender, class etc.

I don’t want to see the kids faces. I don’t want to see the kids at all.

There was someone who bought a pot of her jam to count the strawberries!

This is up to them too, they can have more of a private life without selling content. Plus covering their own security.

Do you know... it is only on MN that they are criticised for keeping their childrens faces out the media. Only here.
Elsewhere they are praised for that decision.

I presume you think the same for , for instance, Eugenie... loads of pics of backs of heads of their children.

If they permanently lived outside the uk then yes they would have to give notice.

I agree with you, OP.

Some weirdly, worryingly obsessed folk hating on M&H. There was one poster who was logging onto 'As Ever' every day, multiple times, to check and report back on the stock levels; 'well, she's only sold 1 candle today.'

I have always taken a big interest in the RF, I love listening to the gossip podcast etc. but cannot understand or abide the hatred.

Trolls and bots.

If they want security they are welcome to pay for it, like other celebrities.

They could also stop teasing the faceless pics of their kids on various holiday locations, if they really wanted to keep their childhood private.

Its not complicated . I’m saying that why have reps there at all ? They could give the diary info and leave . They don’t . They are known to be representing William and Charles .
A word in an ear

I think ridiculous. You cannot tell me that every time a member of the RF is protected, there has always been 4 weeks notice given. There will be impromptu visits no doubt.

And I agree with a PP, if it's totally independent why so many Palace courtiers on the committee.

Especially if they felt that doing so would result in the King’s son not having sufficient protection and (God forbid) something bad happening to him on their watch? It makes no sense.

So you think MI5, MI6, counter terror intelligence experts and the Met would just go along with someone who is there to inform on diary matters?

Stop being hysterical about it you sound like her she managed to get in and out of the country unnoticed and unharmed despite the constant leaks to the press and hysteria they tried to whip up about it all

She isn't diana

The comments are bonkers. There are a frightening amount of people with nothing better to do then spew hate about someone they do not know

When there is a sub committee and NO VOTE what does it matter how many reps are in the subcommittee ( which acts outside of parliament btw) ?
One is all it would take to pass on the ‘wish’

No, it is independent, no matter what Harry thinks.
The UK Government would not want harm to come to anyone, and that includes Harry, no matter what he may have claimed.

They should have security even as non working members of royal family.

RAVEC has a pretty good track record of keeping people safe so far…

If they want to live a quite life then carry on. But the interviews, the books, the hate from H and MM are not helping them live this life. They seem in a bubble where they can do whatever they like and if someone queries what they are saying - well they are racists.

Quite honestly its the lies, the victim mentality and the endless grifiting that is causing many people to call them out on this. Add in the green agenda and then using private jets, briefing out things in advance and then blaming others is unforgivable.

Exactly, doesn't sound very independent to me. At work we would probably call this "marking your own homework" ie making sure you can get what want but make it look like you have gone through the right channels.

I assume someone has to provide details of the King’s diary and working knowledge of the various engagements etc. to help inform security decisions. And he is one person on a committee of several. You and other posters seem determined to find a conspiracy where there is none. The process has been scrutinised via judicial review and found to be reasonable and appropriate.

Thank you. Not quite a cross post, but largely a point I was trying to make.
Harry misunderstands how security works, and his personal attitude has meant some misinformation about the whole process.

In all fairness Zara’s children started off at the local state primary, with no security.

@aCatCalledFawkes

Exactly.

Reps of William and Charles on the committee.
There is a ‘sub committee’ relating to anything Windsor related . No vote . Decisions are made by ‘consensus’ . Hence plausible deniability when the Windsors make it known what should be done . A word in an ear .

The four weeks’ notice was in place to ensure compliance with employment law in case shift changes, cancelled leave etc. for the personnel providing the security are necessary to ensure the appropriate level of protection can be given. Not ridiculous at all.
