He’s been threatened by the Taliban since he went to Afghanistan when they singled him out & more or less placed a bounty on him.

Harry’s Mum died being pursued by the press which could have been prevented with security. The press alone are a risk for them.

Harry is the son of on of the most iconic women and son of the King of England, his wife whether you like it or not is hounded by the press & they’ve been relentlessly pursued.

Even if the risks are low the stakes are high - it’s his family.

He wanted to leave the royals but his face has been engrained into the public consciousness since birth. His privacy and any chance of anonymity was never his to have.

We walk into a life of debt hanging over our heads but so has he… he’s trapped trying to find ways to afford his own protection and build some sort of brand or image that funds it & a lifestyle that is somewhat sheltered - privacy is expensive .

Harry chose of his own free will tomput a target on his wife and kids backs by boasting about killing Taliban members in his book.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/05/2025 16:58

So since this will be Harry speaking for himself and not a silly "sources" thing, does anyone have a link for watching it please?

He could have stayed here and had all the security he needed for himself and his family. He didn't want that though did he! He couldn't bear to play second fiddle to William and his father. He wanted global recognition and adoration rather than endless factory openings on wet Wednesdays in Wigan. He wanted to star much more than he wanted to serve but monarchy is about service and accepting your place in the hierarchy in return for an immensely privileged life. He had a job for life, loads of money, fame, influence, popularity and 24/7 security. He's thrown it all away and to coin a phrase my 95 year old Mum uses "He's shit in his own nest".

Harry and Meghan were in their late 30s when they decided they wanted to leave, specifically to earn a private income. I do them the favour of assuming that personal security is an issue that is important to them. And so it is something they really should have considered carefully, and discussed as part of their plans before they committed themselves to leaving.

We do in fact know that they assumed they would always have IPP status (they told us so in the first version of their leaving manifesto). We know from the first decision in the judicial review that they were more or less immediately told they would not receive security on this basis they did not, and Harry was very angry about that (he demanded the name of the person who wa staking accountability for that decision). Knowing that, however, they still decided to leave.

Why should the taxpayers have to underwrite the downsides of a decision that Harry made knowing the score, and appears to have decided he’d fight about to get his own way? And know he has learned that he can’t get his own way. Adults have to deal with the consequences of their decisions. Harry and Meghan will have to do that now.

Where are all these intrusive photos ?

There aren't any.

The royals' privacy is respected in Britain and in California he's just a C lister.

The days of 'paps' 'hounding' royals is long over.

Even if it were true, high level police protection is not required to deal with 'paps'.

TheAutumnCrow · 02/05/2025 17:00

Themes to listen out for:

‘My mother, my father, my brother’

His paranoia

Lying about the level of security he does get and the actual dangers

Misunderstanding ‘the public interest’ test

Having a pop at the impartiality of the judiciary

If you are not in the UK, am not sure you can watch it live unless you have a VPN to get BBC iPlayer.

Will People now have ’sources’ disclosing some of the ‘shocking’ things Harry supposedly heard during the closed door hearings.

I never expected he would come out of the closet as the ‘source’ for the clap back. 🫢🫢

MrsLeonFarrell · 02/05/2025 17:02

No way to win this through the courts which i wish someone had told me about beforehand

IcedPurple · 02/05/2025 17:02

He looks like he's been crying.

The thing is, Harry, your feelings are irrelevant to the legal system.

And it's frankly of no relevance to the nation whether or not you 'bring' your family to Britain. That is your problem.

TheAutumnCrow · 02/05/2025 17:03

Obliquely blaming people not telling him he couldn’t win ‘this’ through the courts ie his legal team and the judiciary BINGO

MrsLeonFarrell · 02/05/2025 17:03

Soft question asking what experiences the children will miss out on.

He says he's putting himself at risk coming back here

Do you honestly believe RAVAC or the RF want anything to happen to Harry & his family?

They know exactly how bad the optics would look.

Security and intelligence is meant to be kept secret not just to protect H, the RF but anyone at risk. H will be given the right level of security in the UK.

H has made choices, informed choices, and is now reaping the consequences of his choices.

IcedPurple · 02/05/2025 17:04

He misses Britain despite 'what some people there have done'.

WTF?

Don't come back Harry. You're not important. Stay with your jam selling wife in California.

MrsLeonFarrell · 02/05/2025 17:04

What about the security arrangements that are in place made you feel unsafe

"Everything"

She refused Palace security and no-one is pursuing harry

Serenster · 02/05/2025 17:04

He must have broken the Court fo Appeal’s embargo to have set this up!!! How could the BBC have set up an interview in 3 hours’ notice!

MrsLeonFarrell · 02/05/2025 17:04

He claims his risk score changed in 2020 from the highest to the lowest

IcedPurple · 02/05/2025 17:05

TheAutumnCrow · 02/05/2025 17:04

He just doesn't get it does he?

He seems to think his children are some sort of trump card, but frankly nobody gives a toss.

He gets taxpayers' funded security whenever he visits the UK. For himself and his dependents. It's not good enough for Prince Harry. He wants protection on the level that the King and PoW get, and he doesn't want to give notice.
That's the problem. He needs to stop trying to wring the taxpayer dry and accept that the Home Office may just know their job better than him.
He is protected. That's the bottom line.

RandyRedHumpback · 02/05/2025 17:05

He's blaming his father via the royal household rep on the RAVEC committee.

jeffgoldblum · 02/05/2025 17:05

I’m hoping one of you lovely ladies will listen and report back !!! Got to do the kids tea!!
