The actual experts, the JTAC, not the RF, ie, the intelligence agencies, say that the threat has changed.
Are you referring to this example of complete bullshit?
“The point they were making was stupid,” one source familiar with royal security tells The Times. “A baby that can’t crawl wouldn’t get protection in its own right. It doesn’t need it. The baby doesn’t go anywhere independently, it’s with Harry and Meghan all the time.”
Babies never go out with their nanny .
Furthermore, the news outlet notes that security arrangements for royals are made based on threat assessment conducted by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC). In recent years, there have been cutbacks on tax-funded security and, as such, not every royal will be eligible for tax-funded security.
So does security provision depend on threat level or on funding?
“JTAC do threat assessments for anyone of any note and they obviously know who has targeted who in the past so certain individuals have been targeted by certain terror groups and their threat level is moderate high or very high,” a police source says. “The leading royals all get protection but again done on a threat assessment basis.”
How can threat assessments can be done for H&M in the US? How can any security organisation based in the UK accurately assess threat levels in the US? Exactly what information is used to make the decision not to provide security for H&M?
During the interview, Prince Harry also noted that it was a “shock” to him when his security arrangement was removed after he and Meghan moved to Canada and, subsequently, the United States.
The police insider tells The Times that this was expected for someone who willingly stepped down as a senior royal and moved to another continent.
If this is what passes for an evidence-based security assessment, then God help the rest of them, depending on such idiotic people for their safety.
“If you cease to be a royal, you lose your HRH and you go to another country like America, your threat level is going to reduce quite considerably because basically, who wants to kill you?” the source says. You’re not a royal. It still will exist — there still will be a threat against Meghan and Harry but it won’t be high.”
He has not ceased to be a 'royal'.
He is the grandson of the Queen, and the son of the future king.
Who wants to kill them?
I can list several organisations right off the top of my head, both outside and inside the US.
Then there are all the well-armed weirdos.
Just because certain parties in BP hate H&M doesn't mean they are no longer targets.
