PH lost bid to challenge for right to pay Home Office for his security

[Mumsnut]

I've probably garbled that, but that's the gist of it.

@Ellaelle

a lot of retired police officers move into ‘private security’ upon retirement from the force

Camilla’s protection back then would no longer be ‘active’ police officers but ‘retired’ police officers just like Meghan and Harry’s head of security is an ex Secret service not an active secret service

He has armed Security right now - in the US, the country in which he resides. He pays for it.

On the rare occasions he comes to the UK his private security are not allowed to be armed. As he is the son of a King (thanks for pointing that out btw) RAVEC do continually assess his security risk, so if he was visiting the UK and they felt there was a significantly increased risk he would be given Royal Police Protection during his stay.

He would get RPP if he stayed with his father or his brother regardless of his personal risk level, or stayed within the grounds of a Royal residence.

No it isn’t. I just clicked on it. Unless you are not in the UK, perhaps?

Right decision imo. If you quit your job you don’t get to keep the company car or laptop. Same principle, even if you are the boss’s son.

@smilesy

I don’t think the OP is in the U.K.

Just the thought of Harry imagining himself worthy of 'International Protected Person' status makes me laugh out of loud. What a delusional idiot that man is

😉

the result of this is not even about Harry - the H&M superfans can’t seem to understand that this isn’t a personal vendetta, it’s to keep the door closed on having the Met police for hire by any random wealthy person.

If he got the opportunity to pay for it - and I don’t think he ever wanted to, it was a sop to people saying he was costing the taxpayer - then any Oligarch, any corrupt Saudi Crown Prince with the best London lawyers, any travelling despot, etc etc could hire our highly trained police protection officers and by extension their intelligence. We don’t need any of them risking their lives for MBS, as an example. It would have set a frightening precedent, which Prince Harry obviously didn’t think or care about. It’s not all about him!

if he’s in danger, he WILL get taxpayer funded protection officers! Which is excellent! But if he’s not in danger according to all their intelligence (these people he wants so much) then his own unarmed security is fine!

Yes and he was happy to rack up $10million per stupid 'revelation' on book & Netflix interviews but apparently is surprised his family is now a Taliban target. With hindsight he is entitled to the point of blind arrogance. A lack of intelligence and inability to listen to advice.

I am in the UK actually! You guys probably have the guardian on subscription, I don't pay for news. Either that or you guys just perused the top bit of the article to see the full article unfortunately you need to pay for it! Anyhow, I'll let you guys crack on for now might join you again later or see you in the next article about princess Meghan I know you guys will probably get there before me ;) even though I'm a fan lol

The Guardian is free to all users, Ellaelle.

I wouldn't bother. That poster is either on a wind up or wilfully ignorant.

The Guardian isn't a subscription paper. They fund themselves through donations.

I don’t have a Guardian subscription

And judging by their swift exit, they have been rumbled 😂

So irksome when what is a reasonable polite conversation gets derailed like that.

Oh no, and I was so close to coming round to their point of view.

Given the shit show that was the Ms awards, the idea that any of their goons would have access to guns is quite chilling 😂

Well I was just blown away to learn he’s the current King’s son.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Howsimplywonderful 🤣

Who is this “Princess Meghan” person?

apart from a figment of an overactive imagination?

no such person. As that poster has been told multiple times. Think that shows they are just trying to wind people up.

The Guardian is not behind a paywall and never has been.

if you read the pop-up, it is perfectly clear. They don’t want to turn readers away!!

If you are referring to The Guardian article, it is not behind a paywall as The Guardian does not have a paywall policy.

You guys and your facts and knowledge and information. I don't know how you guys do it, other than you guys are very clever.

The dear old MailOnline is reporting Harry’s costs for this odd little legal outing as approx £500k.

Although it’s an article in need of a re-write, I’d have said. Not exactly crystal clear. But anyway, his own costs are going to be substantial. And he doesn’t want to contribute toward the taxpayers’ portion.

The husband of Princess Meghan is down to his last tens of millions, alas.
