i don't understand why the offer of a royal residence didn’t meet their security needs? Why do they need more security than other royal members of the family? Sorry, I don’t follow a lot of their news and I am perplexed!

I also don’t understand why this hasn’t all been negotiated, agreed and arranged for months.

There is currently a petition to get rid of Harry from Invictus, because of the negative impact he and his wife are having on the organisation.

Are you able to link here ?

At the very least, they need to publicly separate themselves from the H&M publicity machine, and if he continues to dig his heels in then they need to move away from Harry. He and his drama are bringing too much negativity to Invictus, he never should have made this Invictus thing his bouncing board for his family’s UK visit and security issue.

Invictus should have nothing to do with H&M or their kids, maybe show up in the audience for the closing ceremony, supporting Harry and Invictus from the side lines, wearing Invictus merch rather than an outfit suitable for a film premiere or a gala dinner.

If the children have got any sense they will disappear into oblivion and live very quiet and private lives. Imagine having those two complete idiots for parents. Being brought up in a soap opera. I really pity them.

Maybe they’ll start a thread on here “They Never Took Us To Stately Homes, Not Even The One Our Grandpa Lives In”

Harry wants to "leave" the Invictus Games to Archie, as if it's his ti bequeath and Archie has the right to inherit as a Prince!
They're so feudal.

There is a video of Catherine hiking up Ben Nevis, posted by another hiker, she was with two guys in hiking gear, one walking ahead and one walking behind her, load of other hikers ROUND, such a juxtaposition to H&M tantrums about security and accusations of dangerous UK.

This is the busiest time to do the 3 peaks challenge, they all have be completed in 24 hours and this time of year has the most daylight hours. So for mountain safety this is peak time. Catherine, her security officer and mountain rescue would know this. Just shows what ypu can do without blue flashing lights and a cavalcade.
The king is often spotted by walkers and mountain bikers walking - gasp!- on his own inthe hills around Braemar.

There is a wonderful story about the late Queen out walking with her bodyguard and they met American tourists who didn’t realise who she was . Will try to find a link .

Mylovelygreendress · 29/06/2026 08:30

And one of my friends saw KC on his own in the hills .

I saw that story! Very funny!

MrsEmmelineLucas · 29/06/2026 08:38

So we have the late Queen walking, unrecognised near Balmoral, same for KC. Kate and William doing the school run and taking their children to sporting and music events, having date nights in a local pub, Edward travelling by tube, Sophie on her bike around Windsor, Anne and Tim holidaying in Scotland, staying in B&Bs, yet Harry can't even stay in London in royal accommodation, and the UK isn't safe enough for his wife and children!
Utter nonsense.

Mylovelygreendress · 29/06/2026 08:40

I think we can say that Project Thaw ( which I never believed) has frozen over .

Exactly. It's all fed by the grotesquely inflated sense of his/their own importance.

This needs to be pinned on every thread! And sent to every newspaper and to the Sussexes Instagram. Idiots.

They are idiots. It's not about security, it's about status and entitlement.

MrsEmmelineLucas · 29/06/2026 08:55

There was a nice story from a lady who runs a B&B on one of the Scottish Islands. She said she didn't realise that the couple were Anne and Tim until later, and she wished she'd given them a better room! Just shows how little fuss they make.
