To think that Harry and his kids should have security

Frankly I don’t want another year of wondering if Harry will attend another event or stay in a palace or will or will not get security etc.

For the sake of our sanity the matter needs to be resolved.

Harry could become a working royal and Meghan could go back to being an actress - they are then both happy

Harry and the kids get protection and Meghan can pay for her own

If Harry and the PoW could make up it would make next year much better ( 30 year anniversary)

Meghan needs to stop trading ( in my opinion) on the memory of Diana ( if it is true she wanted to do a speech re Diana etc) Leave Diana to the boys only.

There are innocent children involved and they do need protecting.

Harry needs to change his attitude and stop fighting the system for the sake of the nations sanity. Meghan has to realise that she upset many of us re the courtesy thing etc and the attack on the POW and POW.

The POW needs to realise that Harry can’t steal his thunder.

Everyone needs to think of King Charles who frankly needs to have a break from all this.

I am not a Meghan supporter or a bot. I just can’t bear another 3 months of frenzied speculation. My head is done in.

Harry and Megan can pay for their own security. Why should tax payers pay for their security when the general public and our children are in more danger than them , look how many children have been murdered in terror attacks but there's no money being put into more police on the streets.

Because you can't pay for armed security in the UK.

It’s hard to avoid the media reports when it’s on radio 4 Today etc

The children should most definitely get all the protection that the royal family members are afforded. They are kids, they have had no choices here and they did not ask to be born into this family, they did not ask to be moved around, and they did not ask to be 'private civilians' or 'public figures' or anything else.

Their security issues exist because the royal family exist – end of. And they would require security regardless of what their parents chose to do or not do.

Everything is always a drama with them, isn't it.

But then, unless you know them personally, OP, why not disengage from the media reports if it's annoying you?

You are unreasonable for not posting on the Royal Family board, set up specially for the weird obsessives. I never hear or read anything about them so what they do impinges on my life not a jot. You are choosing to get worked up about this.

MissChanandlerBonng · 15/09/2026 12:35

Imagine your sanity being stretched by the worry of if Harry will get security or not.

He shouldn’t, btw.

There's a royalty board especially for people who are likely to spend a whole year wondering about them.

lazyarse123 · 15/09/2026 12:34

They shouldn't get protection. They knew they weren't getting it so why come. It is all attention seeking bollocks and best ignored if you can.
I can just imagine the mega tantrum if Harry did do royal duties and Meghan didn't. Take the kids to school in a normal low profile car and nobody would be any the wiser. They managed to get in the country without the media knowing so they can get to school the same way.

Purpleelephantsandunicorns · 15/09/2026 12:29

Who cares. They get the security that the experts think they need. End of. If they are unhappy they pay for more. I really don't have interest.

If anything will persuade people we should be a republic than it's this daft nonsense.
