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 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.
