What has RAVEC got to do with KCIII?

Quite. Some people really have no idea how Home Office security operates in the UK. As if the King organises it himself!

It’s also worth noting that Harry wasn’t asking for something outrageous — just the ability to pay for appropriate security when he’s in the UK. That seems like a reasonable request, especially when safety is at stake.

But that level of security is not for sale. To anyone.

It's bloody Groundhog Day, again.

I can somewhat relate to Harry, hear me out.
When I finally got rid of my violent abusive ex , I was hell bent on bringing him down, I'd lost my fear of him which was replaced by blind rage. I wanted to fight him in court to recoup the money he had stolen from me, I wanted him to never see our daughter, I wanted to destroy him. It took over my life, until my dear friend sat me down and put things into perspective and I saw that I was only hurting myself.
Harry seems to have no one (at least who can get through to him) to do the same. It will make no difference to William if Harry wins or loses his case, his life will continue unchanged.
It's time Harry let go of his rage against his family, he's only hurting himself.

Except the correct analogy would be your ex saying HE was the victim and trying to do the same to you. Harry is not a victim of anyone but his own ego

Also, didn’t the late Queen write asking that Harry have some form of security and she was told no. And she accepted this decision because she realised that, perhaps, you know actual security experts know best 🤷‍♀️

I get that Anne, Edward, and Andrew don’t have 24/7 security, but their situations are different. They don’t face the same level of public scrutiny or security threats that Harry does. Harry’s been in the media spotlight for years and, more recently, has had a lot of controversy and public attention around his personal life. Given the nature of the threats he’s received, it’s not surprising he feels the need for extra protection when he’s in the UK. It’s about keeping him and his family safe, not about comparing to other royals who might not face the same risks.

H's behaviour makes him a prominent person. He is a risk to himself. Nigeria, Colombia, telling the press where he's going to be, saying he killed Taliban. A quiet life in Montecito with occasional charity appearances would have been so much safer.

Maybe he was so off his tits on gas and air that he failed to notice?

It’s so gross that he did that. Someone asked my DH recently I he had some of my gas and air and he looked at them like they had 3 heads. Why would he? He isn’t a selfish prick

RanyaJerodung · 08/04/2025 15:01

A very experienced committee of police, Home Office and Special Branch make important security decisions, it's not in the gift of the monarch. Neither Elizabeth, nor Charles could or can decide someone's security status.

I understand that King Charles doesn’t directly control the police or the legal framework around armed protection in the UK. But as head of state and a figure with significant influence, it’s not unreasonable to think he could have advocated more strongly for a fair, secure arrangement for Harry, especially given the level of threat and the unique circumstances. It’s less about controlling the police and more about using influence to ensure consistency and fairness, particularly for a senior member of the family who served the country and was born into this life.

It’s also worth noting that Harry wasn’t asking for something outrageous — just the ability to pay for appropriate security when he’s in the UK. That seems like a reasonable request, especially when safety is at stake.

But what isn’t fair about the current situation? The security services assess the current intelligence and provide security to the level that is required.

Harry can add additional private security to make him feel safer as he wishes. Yes, his private security won’t have guns but if guns were needed then RAVEC would already have provided officers with guns.

I tell you what, if my husband had used up all the gas and air during my first labour like Harry did, there certainly would have been no baby number 2.

Apart from the fact that Anne was the victim
of an actual attempted kidnapping 🤔

That's true, Anne did face a very real threat with the attempted kidnapping. However, Harry’s situation still stands apart due to the ongoing and specific threats he’s received in recent years, particularly involving media harassment and the public's intense scrutiny of his personal life.

He has a reasonable arrangement. He just doesn't like it because it's less than his brother. Total jealousy and it's not a good look!

It is outrageous!

A constitutional monarch has absolutely no business sticking his nose in taxpayer funded affairs to sway decisions. This would be his absolute downfall, and I, a royal supporter, would be the first in line to abolish the monarchy if he started doing this. To RAVEC, his opinion is completely irrelevant.

It’s also worth noting that Harry wasn’t asking for something outrageous — just the ability to pay for appropriate security when he’s in the UK

He wanted to hire police officers because that’s the only way he could legally have people with guns protect him. And it’s an ABSOLUTELY outrageous request. Armed police are there to respond to violent crimes like the Southport killer, or people being held at gunpoint, or driving through markets trying to kill people with their car - imagine they couldn’t respond to those crimes because a 40yo manchild, who has been deemed NOT to need armed police, uses his immense wealth and privilege to buy his way into taking a much needed service away from everyday people. It’s about outrageous as you can get

Now imagine if I start spreading scurrillous rumours about current serving members of the Royal Family - what is sauce for the goose and all that. Plus the dates don't add up with what we all know now. What we do know of course was Charles was unfaithful from the off.

That is absolute bullshit. Maybe you should give over talking about things you know nothing about.

Diana was unfaithful before Charles was, with multiple men, several of them married. Charles was then unfaithful with Camilla.

That’s RAVEC’s point - they want to assess his security risk before deciding what level of security he gets. Because he’s in the county so infrequently they want to do this as and when he’s about to arrive. All they’re asking for is a 7 day heads-up.

So if he was deemed to be at serious risk, he’d get the best security. To assume he’s ALWAYS at serious risk is ridiculous and false and a symptom of his extreme paranoia and wilful ignorance of how the world works.

I'm digging into the mists of time in the hope of recalling the additional protection Charles demanded as Prince of Wales when the world learnt of his desire to be a Tampax. Didn't he demand that all channels should be blocked and every lavatory in London plugged?
