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

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?

Am I Harry ? How ridiculous… Are you all from government or whoever is politically motivated to exile Harry ?

I never mentioned the Pope.

I’m from one of the Commonwealth nations colonised by the UK.

Anyone can cut out key words and rearrange them to mark someone sound a certain way. Try harder.

Yes ‘you’ who criticise Harry constantly & have no charity.

I think the world looks down on the UK for how they have treated Harry.

So the jist of all that @Lavenderfarmcottage is you think this is all everyone else's fault, our society is inhumane, our court system is corrupt, our armed police should be available to hire on a whim and you reference monkeys, the pope, sacrificial lambs and Aldi and yet you say others are 'pedalling utter nonsense' 😵‍💫. Righto.

Anyone can edit and string together random words and make it sound nonsensical - as you have done, shamelessly. Especially when I’ve given examples and used expressions or metaphors.

I think that's an obvious solution to Harry's security issue. He could utilise the Baker Street Irregulars and look out for Moriarty.

That’s brilliant @FenellaFeldman!!
I don’t know why you didn’t think of this before!!

I think I was looking up whether you could hire police officers as personal body guards if you lived in North Korea.

Pray do tell us which country this is?

The Sun on Sunday reports that when Harry was staying with a 'posh pal' in Chelsea last May, they ordered a takeaway from Deliveroo. That involved an unknown person with a big bag standing on the doorstep in front of an open store. Celebs, apparently, never order takeaways because they don't want to reveal where they are, for their own safety. The only protection Harry needs is protection from himself 🙄

Well I think the world looks down on Harry for how he has treated the UK. No, I have no evidence. I just feel like saying it.

No , no ! Alpha Centauri looks down on Betelgeuse, they are our supporters and we look down on the milky way!

Well, you aren’t wrong there!

And your examples aren’t correct, hence PP asking if you actually are from the U.K.

Oh dear !
i naturally assumed you were joking!
all your comments where inaccurate and you dodged my very clear question!
I would love to have a robust debate but how can I when you are arguing from a place of inaccurate facts ?

jeffgoldblum · 04/05/2025 18:05

And as you are new @Lavenderfarmcottage , you should know that accusing posters of being paid shills and bots is troll hunting and against mn guidelines!

We have all had a memo?😂
Who is this ‘someone high up’ you speak of?

FenellaFeldman · 04/05/2025 18:06

I had a neighbour who used to think those traffic cones were placed so that the government could listen in on people's conversations.

I'm guessing @jeffgoldblum , she knows all about the Constellations. They're high up.

I never mentioned the Pope.

You did, you know. Today at 15:37
The exact quote is "As the head of the Catholic Church."

The Pope is head of the Catholic Church. But I am fairly sure you were just displaying abysmal ignorance (again).

Sadly it couldn’t be the Pope. Perhaps a steeplejack?
