Nobody seems to know for sure. Why should we care. Maybe he doesn't even know himself yet. He can't seem to do anything without attracting lots of press articles.

Im not arguing those points i was addressing the posters ridiculous comments.

Ok - you think the current arrangement is ok? And while it’s true that Harry is a prince, he shouldn’t expect more than say Edward?

Do you feel it’s a bit cheeky that he expects the UK taxpayers to fund 24/7 security then?

He contributes nothing to this country. Therefore he should get nothing.

Don't forget his 35 years of service!

Aren't he and the family supposedly on holiday 'in Europe' at the moment?

If so, there have been no photos, no paps, no 'leaks'. We don't even know what European country they're supposedly in, if indeed they are on holiday at all. Absolutely no reason they couldn't spend a few days in Britain without anyone being any the wiser. But that's not what they want.

They are in Portugal

How do you know this?

quintessentially166 · 02/07/2026 19:56

Harry is no longer a ‘working’ royal so why should U.K. stump up for his security; he is a multimillionaire he should pay for his own security if he believes things are that bad!!!

Google but I heard a commentator say it earlier too its not secret I think they have a holiday home there or mentioned wanting one there

So just the same rumours that have been doing the rounds. For all we know they could be in Bulgaria. Or back in Casa Montecito.

And they don't have a house in Portugal. There was talk of them buying one, but I don't think anything ever came of it.

So are you dismissing all the information shared abojt the threats against him? The person who was jailed for stalking, the fact that over 20 people deemed highly dangerous are now free to carry out the threats they had made?

Just curious as to what your thoughts are about that. He is a Prince of a Royal Family he will always be targeted. Those people don't care if he is a working royal or not ..he is a royal.

Are you talking about the stalker in the US

Or the Sussex Squad "stalker" who he poses for pictures with, was approved to attend events in Nigeria and gets tickets to Ingriftus?

Ok was just repeating shit ive heard on here about william. But ms swift did get a police escort, so why not harry? Has his security risk lowered since leaving the royals?
I agree he has wound himself up re all of this and big stars to come to the uk with their own security staff all the time.
But on harrys part the need for security is by accident at birth, im not denying that he has exploited this connection for financial gain. But lets face it he would never have come into the public eye on merit alone.

There were credible terrorist threats against TS at the time - concerts in Austria were cancelled because of these and the Stockport stabbings against kids at a TS summer camp were a couple of weeks earlier.

@marmaladeorJam What a hysterical, aggressive response to my measured suggestion. If a close relative of mine was behaving like Harry - unpredictable, angry, vascillating, all in public, responsible for small children, and married to a person driven by money and the desire for fame, I would be concerned. In this case, distance themselves though they might, Harry is a member if the Royal family. Heavens above, the word 'intervention' doesn't mean section and incarceration. It means, for example, quiet time spent with his father in a far corner of the Balmorel estate.

Diana was left alone to manage herself and displayed poor judgement in putting herself in the hands of the Fayeds. While I don't hold the Royal family responsible for her death, they were at fault for letting her loose. Similarly Harry, who is clearly not coping and is the weaker partner by far in his marriage.

Typo

Edited

I think his wife should intervene .... but will she?

Victorius19 · 02/07/2026 20:15

And yet Kate was happily sat in the stands on the outer courts at Wimbledon today. No drama or fuss about security, and whoever was protecting her was very hard to spot.

Lunde · 02/07/2026 20:18

IdaGlossop · 02/07/2026 15:02

I know Diana refused security protection. 'Letting her loose' is unfair to the Royal family, I agree. Thank-you for telling me about the memos, which I hadn't heard about before. As a PP has pointed out, any meeting with Harry would be leaked. It must be quite nerve racking for them to watch from the sidelines, waiting for the next assault from a man who is so angry and not bright.

A motorcade and helicopter would do nothing to protect Harry at an Invictus event. What's needed are strengthened on-site security measures.

As a military event I presume Invictus is already secure

If he really cared about security and his children seeing their grandfather he could just fly in quietly, spend a low key few days at Sandringham/Balmoral/Highgrove and fly out and no one would be any the wiser. It’s almost as though he thrives on high drama…oh, wait…

He could indeed - indeed the rest of the royal family manage to travel around the UK with no drama and with nobody the wiser about when they arrive and leave Balmoral and Sandringham etc.

He could travel quietly in a tinted windowed SUV, and he could stop compromising his own security by leaking itineraries and threat assessments (written by his paid-for private bodyguards in the US) to the press

But he won't - because for Harry it is tied up with status and prestige - he wants the drama of presidential style motorcades, roads cleared, blue lights, floors cleared at hotels/Soho House. As I said on another thread - Harry doesn't want security he wants the theatre of security

On the issue of facts.

He didn't offer to pay for private armed security. This was established in a court of law.

He has private armed security. He's brought them to the UK before. They just have to leave their guns at home
when in the UK. Presumably wherever in 'Europe' they are the same applies .

Lunde · 02/07/2026 20:33

LipglossAndLies · 02/07/2026 18:17

Well you obviously don't have your facts right since you incorrectly said he doesn't have private security.

Why don't you go read up why he is asking for security in the UK when he visits. I believe one reason is his private security are not allowed to carry weapons in the UK. He also offered to pay for it (not asking for taxpayers to pay for it) but was told no. So stop asserting he is expecting us to pay for it when he isn't. That isn't why he is asking.

He is a Prince of a Royal Family he is a target regardless of whether he was in the military and killed taliban. If we took your logic then you would say Princess Catherine and her kids don't need security since they haven't killed any, yet they do.

How much would the British taxpayer need to shell out to fund a "surplus" squad of RPOs to hang around in case he decides to turn up? Or would that be 4 surplus squads because he would expect Meghan and the kids to have their own taxpayer funded details? This is the reason that he has to give 28 days notice so they can cancel police officers booked leave.

You can't pay for the Royal Protection Service - just as you can't turn up in the US and demand to hire the Secret Service.

Thank you for clarifying that. People's ignorance on this is really astonishing!

noonames · 02/07/2026 18:32

Yes, I was going to say, presumably this concern for Harry’s welfare as a Prince of the Royal Family also extends to Edward?

If we are being honest the royal most at risk currently is probably AMW - but we don't see people demanding security for him

There all leaking stories to the press been doing it for years.
Tbh i think charlie boy should pay for all harrys security privately, harry is a twit but he didnt ask to be born into that shit show, its not an expense that us plebs have.
However i would imagine that harry would insist on MET protection.
I heard on here that william provided MET support for Taylor Swift, lots of double standards.

William? Have you been drinking? What an absolute loads of rubbish 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would assume more than 4 because they wouldn’t be working 24/7. I wonder if they work 8 or 12 hours shitfs, even if it was 12 hours shifts they wouldn’t work 7 days a week and then they would cover for illness and holidays. That would be a lot of people.

Their holiday home hasn't been built yet

Perhaps staying with Eugenie

Possibly staying with Elton John to strategize the outcome of the court case next week which is probably why he is desperate to save money
