Harry's new interview

[Viviennemary]

Harry has just given an interview quite a long one. I only heard a snippet and i'm totally incensed. Harry has said he doesn't know how long Charles has left. Who says that on TV for the whole nation to hear. What is the matter with the man. He is an absolute disgrace.

is the uk more dangerous than California? Who pays for his security there?

The king can't talk to Harry until the court has given the final verdict. The king has to remain impartial. Hopefully within the next few weeks they will start talking again now it's over.

@SnoozingFox- you forgot to mention M&H’s treatment of her father !
What’s sauce for the goose ………….

I am seeing security around him right now on the news. I wonder how many of them have guns.

Harry had full security courtesy of Canadian taxpayers during the Brexit transition year in Canada because he was treated as a senior working royal during that year who warranted protection.
He can’t have UK armed police protecting him overseas because the laws about guns are different overseas and the UK doesn’t want armed police protecting their nationals living in the UK too.
He has had full security on many occasions where he returned to the UK eg the Jubilee which is very reasonable imo
He gets the protection when he visits because people know he’s on his way eg the Coronation so his risk is higher. Nobody wants to pay for protection if he’s making leisure visits like seeing friends or appearing at court for his personal cases. In the case of the court cases, I believe that nobody knew if he was appearing in person until the day in question.
In his appeal, he objected to giving notice of his intended arrival which is very reasonable imo. How can you make sure that resources are well used if you can’t plan ahead ?

Good points

So if Harry is invited over by the RF he gets security but if say Harry gets invited over to the UK to stay with a friend then he's basically got a big target on his back.

However as like most people once you've left the company all benefits cease & you have to pay for things yourself.

But then on the other hand he is still the King's son & we all know that unfortunately that there are some nasty people out there.
So I do think the decision to remove security for private visits is a bit short sighted at the moment.

When the day comes that William is King, Harry's security risk should lessen as he won't be seen as important, as he'll only be the King's brother & one day Harry will only be the monarch's Uncle.

Edited to add: Yet Harry does pay for his own security in California & elsewhere & I'm sure the security risk in USA & other countries is the same as it is in the UK.

As a tax payer I am relieved, we need hospital beds not layers of security for a family that don’t even like us or live here!

Her father is a rotten man and so is her sister. Vile people.

Maybe its more that he can have a conversation with Andrew that isn't then quoted to the world, I wouldn't want someone reporting what I've said in private be that a sibling or a child.

I'm really tickled by the idea of Harry needing a secure line to speak to his father. He'd probably have Oprah, Netflix and People Magazine listening in on the bedroom extension.

He really has no idea why his family are wary of private conversations with him, does he? He's soooo dim.

I wouldn't defend it

Maybe less likely after what he's said today.

Buckingham Palace’s response to Harry’s allegation of establishment stitch up.

Not defending but explaining why Charles might feel unable to talk to Harry. Imagine talking to someone when you have to think so carefully about what you are saying and can it be quoted out of context and how it might be twisted.

Again, you're going purely on Harry's account of things. Anyone who's seen his behaviour over the past few years know that he is not a reliable narrator.

In previous court documents, there was no reference to security not being provided on 'private' visits. Of course, there were a lot of redactions but my understanding was that his security needs are kept under review and provided he gives advance notice, security will be provided as needed.

In any case, he gets by fine in California without taxpayer security so why would he suddenly 'have a target on his back' in London?

Yes you might think it but you wouldn’t say it and you certainly wouldn’t broadcast it to the world. Seriously what is wrong with him!

Charles is 76 hardly an elderly man. Working full time
The queen and queen mother loved to ripe old age. I gather Harry never attempted to see Charles when he came to the UK, and Ms Sussex doesn't speak to her father

Good on Harry time to unleash Spare 2 and spare nobody.

Not a massive fan, but he does make some good points.

Odd that he felt the verdict was a, 'surprise,'

Seems it's not Harry's turn to have The Ginger Braincell at the moment.

He is clearly using the “I can’t bring my family to the UK ever again” line to manipulate KC. I can’t believe that if they took a flight - unannounced - to a private airfield in Scotland and then spent two weeks at Balmoral - again, unannounced - that they wouldn’t be safe.

Also very strange that you can carry a concealed weapon in most states in America, yet he feels unsafe in the UK?

If it's good for the Kardashians it's good for Harry. People watched his interview and netflix series, and bought the book. If no one bought the book or watched him then that would be the end. People are obsessed with the RF and that includes Harry.

@Superhansrantowindsor AFAIK H pays for his own security in Montecito and in US you can have armed guards. I think if he had won this case he would have used it as a springboard to argue he should have UK funded armed police all the time wherever he is. When H&M left the RF and "fled" to Canada he still had Met armed police that had to fly out in rotas to give 24/7 protection and I read he told M that this would not change. I think Canada provided some coverage ( which went down like a lead balloon witht he public there) and I think Charles stumped up for guards for sometime. H and his family can have full protection if they come and stay at one of the many, many royal residences, he can also give notice to RAVEC of his plans to visit and they will advise on protection to be offered. H doesn't like that and he wants to either bring his own armed guards ( which you aren't allowed in UK unless you are the US President visiting with a lot of arrangements and notification) or he claims he would pay armed police - again not permitted.

There are working members of the royal family who don't get security for private events and visits. Someone tried to kidnap Princess Anne and she doesn't get full-time security.

Harry doesn't realise that the UK public pays for security for representatives of the head of state; it doesn't pay for security because people are born into the royal family.

I hope so.

He spoke about Charles with great respect in Spare, people seem to forget that.
