Security for Harry and Meghan not a priority

[Viviennemary]

Article in the DM reporting that Rishi Sunak has apparently said Harry and Meghan's security issues in New York are not a priority for him when he was asked about the car chase. He is concentrating on policing and safety of people in this country.

The articles :

2006 Kate has a radio to call securty
2007 She has around 10 police protecting her
2008 Given her own royal protection

At some stage she was also given a hotline for support.

Camilla is a mistress who gets protection via St James palace.

Andrew gets protection.

Mistress Camilla also gets her children covered with a trust fund before marriage.

A mixed race woman marries in. She is not given security in advance - her work does that. There is no money for her, she must work. Harry has had to have security because of inherited risk from his father. Him and his mixed family move and their money and security is unceremoniously withdrawn.

You can't get any clearer than that.

Well why would it be? Two people who have a mildly unpleasant experience on another continent - why would he care?!

Yet somehow, it was ok for this to happen to H&M?

Still waiting for the accusations that 'KM arranged a PR stunt', as it's being implied currently about H&M.

Meghan did have security. What is your issue?

'2008 Given her own royal protection'. When was that? While skiing in Switzerland? That wasn't 'her own royal protection', that was one of William's protection officers and it appears William wanted the protection officer to stay with Kate to protect her while skiing on a fairly busy ski slope. A nice thing to do.

Meghan had official royal protection far earlier in her relationship with Harry than Kate ever did.

Harry and Meghan were offered a quiet home and time to adjust to their married life and royal duties. Meghan could have kept working. They chose not to accept either offer.

You're twisting the facts to fit your narrative as usual.

Why do some people buy the lie that she didn’t have security? Of course she did. You can see them in pretty much every picture when they lived in the UK.

Yet somehow, it was ok for this to happen to H&M?

This has never happened to H&M. Not even the events the other night were close to the paparazzi harassment that other embers of the royal family had to live through.

And, as we’ve pointed out a few times, it was entirely their choice to move to a country where the press have considerably more freedom to act in this way.

There was no money for Meghan? Who paid for the bespoke couture outfits, the cars, the planes the chefs, the housekeepers, the assistants? Come on.

While still dating?

Ah, ah, it was Suits that arranged that.

I know, that poster making it look like she had to use food banks or something.

She had notoriously expensive couture dresses. You don’t pay for them with magic beans

Mistress Camilla gets her children covered by a trust fund before marriage. Why shouldn't Charles provide for step children? I think that's nice. He's certainly been generous with his own sons and daughters in law. It's lovely to extend that to Camilla's children.

H&M had security in this country when they were working royals, like the rest of the senior royals. Anne, Edward, Sophie only get it on official engagements and the rest get none at all.

They exited the RF which meant giving up the security they have grown used to, then worked out how much it cost and that they could not afford it (or buy access to UK Police protection). If Eugenie, Beatrice etc can manage without it I cannot see why H&M can't (although Eugenie and Beatrice don't go round stirring up controversy, work for a living and generally keep a low profile).

See there was some whining that no one from the Palace reached out either. It all seems a bit attention seeking to me tbh.

Oh? How much of a trust fund has he put up for his grandchildren?

Perhaps he could be just as nice to his son and grandchild on their first year getting on their feet.

PS: they were not his step children at the time

Yeah, it’s clear: either marry an heir or do something so heinous you need round the clock security

He gave them a couple of million, an average person could live off that for decades

Most people live off way less than that for their entire lives.

But there are some people for whom nothing will ever be enough.

Wait, where ?
He gave Archie and Lili a couple of millions?

Please do link. First I hear of it.

How do you know he hasn't been? What's the problem with him giving his money away? His money, his choice. He subbed Meghan and Harry after they were in California, which I think is quite generous.

Or be the mistress of a future king ?

Why on earth do people think they have a right to know what a complete stranger does with his own money?

They’ve been married for 20 years

All this 'mistress' nonsense. We're in the 21st century, not the 18th.

News (not) Husband and wife not suited, not in love and unhappy. Both have affairs. Get divorced. One marries the OW, the other would probably have married in the end if tragedy hadn't intervened.

Half of marriages end in divorce. Most divorced people remarry. It's normal. It's not a big deal for someone to marry and help out their stepchildren. It's called blended families. They're joint children.

@notanotheroneagain Security is security. Doesn't matter who provided it. If she had security what would be the point of providing a second lot? Either way she had more than any other royal woman and she didn't pay for it.

I know. It's all most odd.

Why on earth do people think they have a right to know what a complete stranger does with his own money?

Because that posters obsessed with H&M. It's like their second unofficial spokesperson. No one could possibly know how much money KC has given to H&M.

Well exactly. If people slate Camilla for being a mistress, they are doing it to Diana too, as she had affairs with married men. But really, the marriage wasn't well suited, it had issues from both sides and ended in divorce. Both moved on.
