Harry’s over for a Court case but not to see his Papa. 🤔

Charles & Camilla flew out to Rome on a planned visit so they missed one another by mere hours. Harry obviously didn’t want to spend any time with them. He will have known of their itinerary. There are so few occasions when he does fly over now from Montecito. An opportunity lost, especially with his father’s health I think.

Yes! Let's have a Republic and a President just like the Americans, who broke away from Britain in the reign of King George III. Can't think of anything better. Oh - wait a minute . . .

I think we are capable of choosing any type of Republic we want. The US isn't the only model. Either way we'd get to choose, not have it thrust upon us.

🤣🤣🤣
That’s really funny.
We can’t even agree on who to have as PM, or whether a difference of over 1 million votes is a big enough majority in a referendum.
Who’s to say we could successfully agree
a) to have a republic?
or
b) who should be the president if we did?

Oh leave the poor bugger alone! It is all speculation - like local gossip on a grand scale. There is obviously a bit of a family rift - let us leave them to sort it out in peace.

Harry obviously didn’t want to spend any time with them. - it is obvious only to you. You, nor I nor anyone else have the faintest clue about it, so need to butt out.

I totally agree. Leave them be.

Does anyone know what the outcome of the case was/is?

It seems to have passed me by today!

Calendargirl Sat 12-Apr-25 18:14:30

I think the outcome won’t be known for a few weeks.

I suppose they’re weighing it all up.

NotSpaghetti Sat 12-Apr-25 18:20:12

Thanks Calendargirl

I don’t believe the late Duke and Duchess of Windsor had much security and they were in a very similar position.

If Princess Anne retired from the RF and her duties, can you imagine her making a fuss over security? I think not.

The Windsors lived in France . Al Fayed bought their house .

Aveline Sat 12-Apr-25 20:29:27

They were in the Caribbean too for a while. No obvious security.

Can you imagine a judge looking up and seeing Harry - yet again?

Anniebach Sat 12-Apr-25 21:05:49

After this what next ?

Oh, I'm sure they will think of something (H&M, that is)!

We should be given the chance to decide. It's a ridiculous assumption we all want a monarchy.

But most people are fond of her. Thats a big difference in being safe when the public likes you or hates you.

I believe the judges have retired to consider it for a few weeks. (More money and time wasted.

Anniebach Sun 13-Apr-25 09:10:49

Do they have to consider if his security was lowered to keep him in the royal family

OldFrill Sun 13-Apr-25 10:13:14

I am far from a royalist but l think Harry and his family should be entitled to armed protection in the UK, who funds it is the real question.

Anniebach Sun 13-Apr-25 10:21:19

should all those in the royal family receive security if like him
they do not carry out royal duties ?

Jaxjacky Sun 13-Apr-25 10:43:04

According to the Guardian a decision will be handed down after Easter

Iam64 Sun 13-Apr-25 10:57:58

Harry is the king’s son, he served in our military. He’s surely more at risk than minor royals

Anniebach Sun 13-Apr-25 11:09:18

He is a minor royal, when he wanted out his father was not King, he is no different to those you call minor royals

Mollygo Sun 13-Apr-25 11:10:46

Harry opted out of royal duties.

He is as much at risk in the US as he is here.
Should we be paying for his security over there?
