From the Guardian. Not its usual fawning coverage. Quite jaded, in fact. Oh dear.

Sound advice in there

HoldMyWine · 29/08/2026 22:02

Pretty much what we have been saying all along

Recklessismymiddlename · 29/08/2026 22:09

Indeed. Or in other words
Grow Up.

I do think you raise a very good point in that Wace has chosen to remain H's friend despite the very public mistruths that H has shared with the world.

I wish Wace luck with his HaM friendship, but I rather suspect that he will eventually be "markled."

Is it Wace's current (3rd?) wife who is named in the Epstein black book?

Prince Harry: Security chief didn’t tell me of al-Qaeda threat

He is such a turd !

He got the info from the secret service in the country he was resident in, is that not more relevant. Why is he complaining now about something from 4 years ago, seems to be totally irrelevant. And to top it off, he then moves his family to a country where he believes they are unsafe, because they cannot even hold a cricket bat. Do eff off.

If he was in the UK then and the threat was credible, he would have been given the security he needed until the threat passed

Just go back Harry, one week in and most people are sick of him and his manipulations

Anyway, haven’t Al Qaeda been cut off at the knees the last 10 years or so.

All this. Just go home to the US Hazza.

He really appears to hate the UK, he is constantly trying to insist everything about the UK establishment is sub standard, and are out to get him and his family.

Is he trying to provoke some weirdo to make an attempt on him or his family to prove a point by publicizing his security arrangements? He is mentally disturbed to do this just to try to get what he wants.

HeirNspareBNB · 30/08/2026 00:09

The new As Ever instagram post proves that everything is scheduled. “ Soaking in the last of the summer in the garden?” Too damn right, it’s poured with rain since Thursday so you will be soaking wet if you waltz around the garden with a trug.

sickofsixseven · 30/08/2026 01:55

Hes clearly not going to stop wanging on about security until he gets what he believes he is entitled to. Its very tedious. Can one of his advisors not tell him it makes him look like a petulant child and only makes people dislike him more?

I don't think he cares what anyone thinks. He's beyond that. He's just utterly wrapped up in his own sense of entitlement.

Recklessismymiddlename · 30/08/2026 06:28

Do you know, when I see young crown princess Ingrid, after the death of her grandfather behaving with such decorum and Princess Catharina-Amalia, who had to move at a young age to Spain, due to kidnap threats from the mafia, and this man in his 40’s, goes on about his security, in full blaze of leaks, it makes me see red.

If you care about your safety don’t leak, keep your details private. It isn’t that hard. But as the saying goes you can’t argue with stupid.

AutumnCrowOnTheMold · 30/08/2026 06:59

It doesn’t help that that former senior police officer Neil Basu (fan of Doreen Lawrence and big fan of DEI-ing the Met in all the wrong ways) seems to still be blathering on publicly in support of H. Keep it discreet, boys. This is highly confidential RAVEC security under review and discussion, so don’t turn it into a political stunt from a royal clown in a circus.

Recklessismymiddlename · 30/08/2026 07:09

I’d imagine the royals all get death threats. Harry isn’t special in that regard. He just thinks he is. If he doesn’t feel safe here, then he can go somewhere he does.

You do get the impression he wants something to happen, which is kind of sick.

I have no expertise in this area, but is it really a good idea to put that kind of specific information about intelligence in the newspapers?

If they eventually decide he needs some form of security then fine, but it’ll show him that if he just keeps hammering at a particular issue he’ll get what he wants. So he’ll keep going.

Guest385 · 30/08/2026 07:26

The Times article just confirms for me that H&Ms “move back” is nothing more than another attempt to get their full time security reinstated.
Son of a King don’t you know, so very very important.
Did Edward and Sophie ever have difficulty doing the (predictable)school run for the last 18 years?

Tiddlywinks63 · 30/08/2026 07:34

Dear god, he really is a manipulative, obnoxious little twerp, isn’t he? I guess the single blessing is he’s so transparent at least it’s clear what he’s doing much of the time.
I’d love to know what the real reason is for the precipitous move from Monteceito.

Did Edward, Sophie and their dc have full-time security?

Yes. To put this in perspective, I’ve had death threats. Had some temporary police presence and security precautions and advice. These resources are rationed.

It happens to a lot of people in public life and/or with any kind of public profile: teachers, police officers, local councillors, university staff, journalists, writers, broadcasters, nurses, doctors, the list goes on.

Also, in their tens of thousands, there are the women and children in abusive relationships. Many of the latter end up murdered. Yet this over-privileged oaf Harry wants more and more resources and focus.

taylorandme · 30/08/2026 07:39

Just read that Prince Edward and Sophie only received taxpayer-funded protection while carrying out official public duties. Lady Louise and James never had state funded security while growing up even when late queen was alive and Edward was the monarch's son.

Well, the precedent is there. Other children and gc of the monarch also get case by case security and their dc none at all. Harry needs to STFU.

With him talking so much about security he draws such attention to who has security and hasn't which surely must heighten any risk to all members of the RF. It's such selfish behaviour.

MrsLeonFarrell · 30/08/2026 07:47

So Harry expected the country where he wasn't to tell him about a security threat rather than the country where he was? Does he not even understand how Five Eyes works?

He expects to tell everyone how threatened he is, then for us to have sympathy with his paranoia, rather than frustration that he is can't see he is putting his own security at risk. In a cost of living crisis, in a country with real political and social problems he thinks he can jump the queue and badger the Home Secretary into telling an independent committee what to do. He expects his family to apologise, for some reason I've never understood.

Maybe don't tell everyone where you live. Maybe don't tell everyone you'll be doing a regular school run. Maybe accept that minor royals, yes even those whose parent is the monarch, don't get armed security unless there is a threat. Maybe accept that minor royals are simply members of the public where security is concerned. Maybe accept that the public are watching your behaviour and are increasingly seeing the bitter adult rather than the popular child.

I don't care whose son he is, on either side, I do care that he seems unable to behave like a rational, productive member of society. Same grudges, same demands, same entitlement, same paranoia, someone get him some effective mental health support.
