did you say that when beatrice and euginee was taken away though? and half the other royals don't have it paid for by the taxpayer either , so when H & M become non working why should they have it paid, its not like they were skint and couldn't afford it themselves
Removing security from any member of the RF is a terrible decision. I have no sympathy at all for Andrew, but he was right to complain about the ending of security for his daughters. Self-paid security that isn't connected to overall RF security isn't going to be as effective as security that is presumably connected to central briefing.
The distinction between working and non-working RF members is completely irrelevant to any terrorist organisation seeking to embarrass an establishment institution, make a name for itself, or pursue a wider campaign of intimidation against a state.
The repercussions of a successful terrorist attack affect not only the family of the victims. Successful terrorist attacks embarrass and destabilise the countries from which the terrorists come and also the countries in which their attacks are carried out.
It is completely irresponsible of the RF to basically paint a big, fat target on prominent members. They are playing the worst of bad neighbours when they fail to understand that terrorism isn't just an individual, personal risk. They have to be willfully blind not to understand that, after the killing of Louis Mountbatten.
H&M and Archie are members of the RF, and closer than Beatrice and Eugenie are to the direct line of succession. There is no way they should have been deprived of experienced security that has contact with the rest of the security accorded to the RF.
