The marching of the Kings californian grandkids

[Thedom]

Wish I could go back and find all those posters who predicted a Kardashian-esqe social media blitz at some point in H&M's future, wonder where are all the posters who we're so affronted by the very idea of that.

People magazine and all, the uber celeb magazine.

I guess needs must with the downfall of her business efforts, \oh look, here are my kids whose privacy we have decided to forego for the greater good of taking the heat off what a crap business woman I am'.

But they live in an area alongside people far richer than them. By Montecito standards, they are paupers. I really don't think they're all spending millions a year on security.

Anyway, if Harry's worried about security he might like to consider moving to a more modest home which doesn't have massive grounds which must be a nightmare to secure.

My word.

Maybe that is what the children wanted to wear.

It’s clearly a two part advert. The first is the repayment to Disney for the freebie. The second is advertising Meghan’s influencer availability.

She’s hoping other companies will make offers - which makes the twerking video timing make more sense - she boosted her follower numbers which makes her look more attractive for influencer opportunities.

Exactly. He’s not royal anymore. He represents no one but himself and so his security doesn’t need to be any tighter than the average celeb.

Yes. They will. They’re a high level target due to being the king’s direct family. I’m no fan of theirs, but I’d say that’s pretty obvious. Regardless, you wouldn’t want to risk it if it was you and your children.

That’s naïve. Being the king’s son makes him a target.

I think antagonise Al Qaeda and bragging about his kill count helped make him a bigger target to be honest. He really doesn’t help himself.

Meghan has tv and products to promote. Social media is extremely hungry. She knows the kids are a draw. They know they will get criticism for “but privacy” and their opinions on social media (regardless that the kids faces are covered they did not consent to this).

It’s great they are living their lives but they are treading a very fine line now.

He didn't seem to mind 'risking it' when he flounced off to another continent, with no home and no job, leaving behind the round the clock security and heavily guarded home he had in England.

And simply being the son of the King doesn't in itself make him a high target as he has no official role. He's far from the first royal to live in America as a private citizen.

Anyway, it's his problem.

Plus, he could live a low profile life if he chose to. He doesn't.

Not really. If he lived in the UK his security would be downgraded as he moved further down the line of succession. See also Anne, Andrew and Edward who do not have full time security when away from where they live. They are the siblings of the reigning monarch and the same applied when they were the children of the reigning monarch. Harry isn’t that important. He just likes to say he is

And yet Edward and Anne and their families for years now have only had security when they are on royal engagements.

Let's not forget that Anne was directly involved in a security scare and a kidnapping attempt. By all accounts, she put up quite the fight when her guards were taken down. Frankly, I'm surprised she didn't land the kidnapper a solid punch on the nose although she seems quite sensible. She probably knew better than to antagonise a mad man.

Yes, but in the UK he would be made aware of specific risks and security would be stepped up if needed. He doesn’t have that in California. Regardless of the wiseness of making the move, the security is still necessary. I don’t care whether he pays for it himself or not, but I can see why they need it. But I’m not sure everybody’s having this conversation here based on logic, versus just not liking them.

If he is happy to pay for his family’s security that’s fine . The issue is that he isn’t happy to pay !

I would recommend looking for the video of an interview of Anne by Michael Parkinson where she talks about the kidnapping attempt. She has a really dry sense of humour.

But you can't possibly know what security threats he or anyone else faces. None of us can. But simply being the son of a King does not in itself mean he requires millions of pounds worth of security a year.

I don’t care whether he pays for it himself or not

I care. He has no public role and chose to live as a private citizen in another country. If he is not the one funding his own security, then who should be?

If I were him, I certainly wouldn’t want to take the chance. And even as someone that isn’t a fan, when you look at the millions and millions of comments full of rabid bile about them, I have to say I wouldn’t risk it.

And, we can agree to disagree. Or at least, I can agree to disagree 😊

Like I said, he happily 'took the chance' when he removed himself and his family from the round the clock high level security he had as a royal in order to live on another continent with no job, no security and no status.

And 'rabid bile', whatever that is when it's at home, does not translate into genuine threat.

But if he wants to spend millions on an inferior version of something he would have had for free 5 years ago, up to him. Story of his life.

If Harry expects the U.K. tax payer to fund his security for life 24 hours a day then he needs to start earning his keep for the U.K. & get himself back here. He effectively wanted to leave but expected to keep the company car and petrol allowance. Tough.

Yawn 🥱 what boring lives you must have if you can’t stop talking about her and her kids. Glad she works you up into such a lather!

Well at least it should mean no more H&M going on panels talking about the ills of social media (you’d think).

Don’t begrudge her that. Meghan needs that just as much as she needs her fans. She probably wouldn’t thank you for hoping it shut down.

Well he has to pay for it himself if he doesn’t live in the UK. And as many of us have said in many occasions, it is likely that if there was a specific threat then security services would make him aware of it. You can’t base security needs on “feels”. I’m sure he is no less safe than anyone else in the area where he lives. None of this is based on whether he is liked or disliked. It is simply that he is overstating his need for security. But if he really does feel he needs that level of security then they will potentially have to move to a smaller property so that he can afford it. He has to
live within his means like we all do
