Harry suing the home office

[TooEarlyForMe]

Does he realise where the money they would have to pay him if he was successful in suing, would come from?

The British public

Thanks Harry.

Because he wants to have his cake and eat it too? He seems to want to keep all the perks, but opt out of the shitty bits.

What perks? What shitty bits?

[quote cherrycokr]@wordler & we all know how convoluted the royal finances are. I mean Andrew lived a billionaires lifestyle but wasn't paid that. [/quote]
It doesn't help that they keep sealing all the wills of the monarchs etc so we can't see who gets left which left which big piles of generational wealth.

That's not comparable. The STATE put Harry in a position where he is at risk, so the state should pay for it.

If he is at risk, the ravec have said they will protect him. His risk will be assessed each time he comes. He wants protection regardless of risk.

yep, is there even any transparency on how Andrews settlement was funded?

I imagine she means perks = top police security costing millions of pounds each year, the cachet of being a royal prince, and shitty bits is having to open sewage works in Bogner and community halls in Cheshire.

When I said foreign vip I was referring to pop stars and actors, and those with lots and lots of money who feel really important, not present leaders of foreign countries who actually use their own secret service and protection squads during state visits rolls eyes

That wasn’t clear from your post and really Prince Harry isn’t a pop star or actor. He’s not comparable to them as he’s a foreign dignitary like the King of Jordan or the Queen of Sweden- not an entertainment celebrity. Furthermore, pop stars and actors do actually travel with their own security that they pay for and don’t come on state visits.

Present leaders of foreign countries we DO in fact pay for security during their state visits, even though they also bring along their own secret service as well. You are mistaken about that so no need to roll your eyes. Trumps visit cost the British taxpayer £18m in security costs. Presumably Putins state visit in 2003 cost us about the same....

Apparently you aren’t even aware of this but seem to think the British taxpayer should foot the bill for foreign dignitaries...

I don't think cutting a ribbon is that bad!

& he evidently kept hold of the cache & £££££

No dear. You can laugh / ridicule all you like, look for the most tabloid of tabloid quotes, but in there are also the reasons for the suit being brought and the reasons it is being rebuffed. Lots of other info too.

Or you could pay for a less DM newspaper and provide us all with ShareTokens to the same information!

…from a couple who sat out in open view at a restaurant in California - allegedly staged for PR purposes - where gun ownership is legal & far more prevalent than in the UK.

By his own action, he has torn up his own argument for protection. He is as much a ‘political’ target in the US as he is in the UK.

Royals in line of succession & other royals on official business are covered by the specialist protection squads, in effect officers of the state protection for royals out on state business.

Prince Harry is now down the line of succession & is no longer a working royal.

Biden, Trudeau et al are here on state business so the security details match those circumstances.

Well it beats my job but I imagine it's not as much fun as relaxing by Elton's pool, or playing polo etc.

He says he wants access to intelligence about potential threats to him or his family.

Honestly, does he really think that British police will sit on their hands and do nothing if there was a threatening situation developing?

He wants his cake and eat it. He chose to leave the status that gave him the extra protection, he needs to live with the consequences of his decisions, even if that means staying the hell away of the country to appease himself about perceived threats.

Didn’t Chelsea said he had a tendency to feel paranoid and see threats were there were none?

So many people saying "but he didn't choose to be born"... Who amongst us did? I'm pretty sure my dm whose father was an arsehole, and my paternal gf whose father was an evil arsehole, wouldn't have chosen the fathers they had either, had they had the choice. It made them better, more compassionate people though, and they could/can see that bad as things got/may get, there's always some poor soul that has it worse again.

Fate could have dealt him a much shittier hand, but he can't see that, he's too busy feeling sorry for himself, for the consequences of actions he did have a choice in.

@TheHoptimist of course Prince George has a choice. He can choose to opt out of royal life like others before him have. He is not enslaved. And has access to the means and education to make such a choice much easier than others in actual slavery!

@TheHoptimist

And didnt he offer to pay?

No that was found out to be false..

I agree with you to an extent, but does Zara Tindall have paid-for protection. And if not, why not? And if not, why does Harry need it?

< goes off to Google who Zara Tindall is >

He wants to pay for his own police protection- they won’t let him, and I don’t blame him for insisting on police after seeing the comments the British public make about him and his family, he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. They are so bloody stupid for not allowing him to in the first place. Go Harry, it is not his fault remember, he tried to pay, it is theirs for idiotically not providing protection

@SamphiretheStickerist I don't think you understand. I'm not bothered by him bringing a case or whether it gets rebuffed or not. However he still has a right to bring the suit regardless of what the public think. It just doesn't trigger me, nor would paying for his security. I'd rather there were no Royals, as I said above it's so outdated. I just don't buy into Royals = good & Harry = bad.

Honestly, does he really think that British police will sit on their hands and do nothing if there was a threatening situation developing?

Logically I'm sure he doesn't think that just that something may get missed or information not passed on. After all it's impossible to foil every plot. Tbh I'm a nobody & don't have much faith in the police.

Didn’t Chelsea said he had a tendency to feel paranoid and see threats were there were none?

He must be paranoid & he's clearly very bitter about what happened to his mum so obviously this drives his decisions. Same for prince W hence the row with the BBC

He isn't entitled to police protection. End off. If he doesn't feel safe he can stay away. He won't be missed. In fact nearly everybody would breathe a sigh of relief.
