Why can’t Harry just pay for his own private security?

[jennylamb1]

Don’t get it. He says that he can’t ever visit the UK again because his security won’t be provided. Loads of celebrities and high profile business people pay for their own security, why should tax payers pay for his security when he isn’t a working royal anymore?

There’s a different thread ongoing for that

Harry has to take responsibility for destroying his relationship with his family. It is not Meghan’s fault.

also what if the treat hasn’t been identified but is stil a threat

Same applies to every other member of the RF that doesn't have full time security. Why is Harry special?

Because his personal security in Uk aren’t allowed to be armed

His American security won't have access to intelligence either, in the US or in the other places he travels.

He's completely talking the piss.

Is he not higher profile than other RF members? There is a lot of online animosity towards him & Meghan , maybe that makes him higher risk?

And do you think his security guards that he employs should be armed in this country, is that what you are suggesting?

Yeah but they have guns

And that will be taken into account, our Security Services are not imbeciles.

No that’s not legal, but armed police would offer him better protection

Armed police would offer me better protection too.

Yes but uk intelligence won’t know all the threats, some will slip through net. If I were Harry I’d personally be fearful for mine & my families safety if I were him , even if Uk said “ no threats identified , no armed police needed”

What, from words on a page?

Are you a high profile member of royal family who has a lot of hate & threats directed at you & your wife and kids?

No from real life nutters

Protest on here all you like, he’s not getting not now, not ever.

Yes you are completely right!
when can they expect your payment towards his security?

Let’s just say if RAVEC were to assess me I expect they would decide there was no risk. But I would still feel safer with an armed protection unit, especially walking home late at night.

They already have it through my taxes . Maybe some can be diverted away from football clubs who can pay for their own security instead of tax payer funded police presence

I’m not protesting, I’m just answering OPs question

So we should provide JK Rowling with armed met officers, 24/7 365 days per year? She receives death threats constantly, honestly think about it without emotion about what you are suggesting, every celebrity could demand what Harry wants if they get a nasty e mail, it’s completely financially unviable. Do you really want to pay a lot more tax from your pay packet to protect multi millionaires and Billionaires?

We all would but we aren’t all high profile at high risk

I don’t think you have thought this through at all……

This might sound heartless but those two have brought it on themselves. If he went and lived a quiet life like Princess Anne or Prince Edward and their families he wouldnt need full time security.

Well quite. That is why security is based on professionally assessed risk level, not what makes individuals feel safe.
