Prince Harry loses his appeal

Desdemona

When he visited the UK recently didn't the British Police escort him to and from the airport?

Yes, probably because he was going directly to see his father.

I was more annoyed when it was said that being denied the security he wants, may make it difficult for him to be close to his family maddy. Oh that will be the family he constantly berates for money!!!

I don’t think he gives a toss about his family.
Mind you, I’m guessing that the audience with his family was limited by his father’s worry that anything that was said could possibly be used in future interviews, rather than Harry’s desire to limit it.

I have just re-checked the article I mentioned in my earlier post and it said that security costs would increase when he and the family travels , which, when you think about it is probably common sense because presumably he would, at the very least, have to pay all his guards' airfares and hotel bills as well as his own.

The Home Office lawyers told the High Court that Harry would still have publicly funded police security here which would be “bespoke arrangements specifically tailored to him”

Honestly, what more does he expect?

If he gets elected wouldn’t it be wonderful if Donald Trump threw him out of the US?

Not really, the whinger and his Mrs would land back on our shores. Although she has said she never will, so where would that leave them.

GrannySomerset I love your comment a bit earlier!
Very true!

Outrageous that he should waste taxpayers' money having to defend against his ridiculous case. He can well afford security. It's just scrounging to expect the public to pay.

Freya5 although I agree with you that we don’t want him back, wouldn’t it almost be worth it though to see him crawling back with his tail firmly between his legs? !

I'm sure he will get the appropriate amount of security provided while engaging with any of the working royals, so what's the problem? I guess he wants the full works while socialising with his mates at Soho Farmhouse or at a Jessie J concert.
If he has any mates left, that is?

Yes, and they will still do that I understand.

The article that I referred to in my earlier post made the point that private security costs increase when someone travels , which is common sense when you think about it as presumably they will have to pay their guards' air fares and hotel bills as well as their own.

This court case he has just lost has apparently cost the Home Office over £400,000 according to Freedom of Information.
He makes me really annoyed. Talk about entitled …

And he will appeal

He lost his appeal to me years ago...

He is considering appealing so further waste of taxpayers' money defending against him. He's a scrounger.

He can afford private security Grantanow, but they can’t carry firearms, unlike the police who protect working royals and bodyguards in the US. He bleats about not being able to bring his family to the UK because of this. Tough.

Does he not have to pay their expenses?
If not, why not?

Security is for working members of the Royal Family and for most, only when they are carrying out official functions.

Harry can pay for his own security when he comes here if he wishes, but, as already said, they will not be armed.

He has referenced the scary time he said he, Meghan and his MIL endured in New York. We cannot provide security for a non-working member of the Royal Family in other countries, certainly not armed security. What would be the fall-out if an armed member of the Royal Protection Group shot someone on foreign soil?

He really doesn't think things through.

On reflection, though, if I have to choose, give me Harry and Meghan over Trump 😁

Is Harry running for president?

Not yet!! Maybe tomorrow?

But doesn't that mean he may not be able to visit his own home and family?

He didn't sign up to be royalty

Anne gets protection for official duties, not when she’s socialising. Edward and Sophie get protection when on official duties not when they’re privately socialising. Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine get protection at all times as King, Queen and heir to the throne. Somehow other Royals manage to see their family. Of course any time Harry and Meghan visit Charles and Camilla they will enjoy the protection that surrounds them.
Of course he could always renounce his title and just be plain Harry whatever surnamehechooses. Of course Hollywood might lose some interest in them at that point.

Anne’s , Andrew’s, Edward’s children didn’t choose to be royal they manage

The 'scary time' they claimed to have experienced in New York was a complete fabrication.

He may not have chosen to be royal, but they chose to walk away from their roles and responsibilities as working royals thereby for fitting their right to the protection he now seeks.

They certainly travel, film premiere in Jamaica only to sit in

He isn't asking anyone to pay for his protection. He wants to pay for it himself but for his security to be able to be armed, as those protecting other members of the RF are.
I think if he doesn't get this he will possibly never bring his children to the UK because he will fear for their safety. I suspect given the level of hatred expressed on GN he might be right, as that surely will be escalated in the general public. Much as you might hate M&H. it seems a great pity to me that something which would ensure the safety of those children cannot be worked out. Then they would be able to safely see their extended family.
