It’s just been announced, Prince Harry has lost his appeal to have armed security provided when he is in Britain.
I’m not surprised.

Whose said they deserve all they get because of who their parents are?

merlogran has said
I think the best way to ensure the safety of your children is to not make yourself so deeply unpopular in the first place.

I know what she said, and she didn't say they deserve all they get because of who their parents are.

Violet Elizabeth Bott comes to mind.

Violet Elizabeth Bott comes to mind.

In that case "I'll scweam and scweam and scweam until I'm thick"

Different ways of getting attention

Glorianny Wed 28-Feb-24 21:17:08

It's amazing on these threads how there is name calling, aspersions are cast on H&Ms characters, they are blamed for all sorts of things, but no one hates them.
Presumably then you just enjoy saying awful things about them.
I can't decide what's worse.
Saying awful things about someone you hate.
or
Saying awful things about someone you don't care about.
I think it's probably the second. After all if you really hate someone you have at least an emotional response to blame.

Glorianny Seems a bit hard on the kids and on Charles, who probably won't see his grandkids (mind I'm not sure he'll be that bothered, he's not really affectionate is he?)

Goodness me, all those photos of Charles not being affectionate!

Syracute Wed 28-Feb-24 21:38:42

Please ! Trump is a criminal awaiting many trials . He has already been convicted and owes massive fines . He is awaiting more serious trials . He is the last person that can threaten Harry .

Joseann Wed 28-Feb-24 21:41:55

Rosie51 Those photos remind me of the ones at that boring Jubilee parade when Louis had a strop. His grandfather Charles was the only one who seemed able to placate him, affectionately sitting him on his lap.

Anniebach Wed 28-Feb-24 21:52:36

Lovely photographs

Rosie51 Wed 28-Feb-24 21:58:56

I remember that too Joseann, but as Glorianny asserts, he's not affectionate 🙄🙄

Glorianny

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

Not allowed here, it is against the law for bodyguards to carry any weapons.

Although it may well be legal in the USA.

No-one hates them, as you keep trying to assert, Glorianny, although they may dislike what they do and be weary of their shenanigans.

Of course they don't Callistemon21 .grin
However even you can't dispute that he is probably more at risk than any other Royal.
As I said he will probably fly in and out of the UK occasionally, but Meghan and the children will not. Why would they? They are protected in the US. Here they would not be.

Even me? What exactly do you mean by that? 🤔

Why is Harry at more risk than any other Royal? Do you have inside information?

if any other so called celebrity wanted security they would have to pay for it, he is no different, he made his choice.

VioletSky Wed 28-Feb-24 22:25:02

Sometimes other people's comments aren't about "you"?

If the cap doesn't fit or other similar sayings

What hatred VS? If you and Glorianny are going to imply that there are posters on this thread expressing hatred of H then back it up.

You are joking ! One glance through this thread is proof of the hatred here on GN and the absolute need for armed security .

Callistemon21 Wed 28-Feb-24 22:28:42

Now Harry needs protecting from a posse of Gransnetters
😂

Yes.

Perhaps you could do what Glorianny and VS haven't done despite being asked Syracute and give just one example of hate that's been expressed on this thread.

nanna8 Wed 28-Feb-24 22:42:50

With his squillions ,no doubt he could pay for security if he thinks it is necessary. Quite reasonable, I would have thought.

merlotgran Wed 28-Feb-24 22:46:20

He’ll be a squillion short after he’s paid the legal bills.

I neither like nor dislike Harry and Meghan but I did not like what they did to their families.

What Harry was asking for was a higher level of security when he visits the UK but the Judge ruled that the downgraded level of Ravec he should receive as a non-working member of the Royal Family is appropriate.
The high court judge Sir Peter Lane concluded that Ravec’s approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair.

He will still receive a police protection if the occasion is considered appropriate.

You are aware that the public don't carry guns in the UK aren't you? Unlike the States where he lives, far more danger to him and his family there I'd have thought. Do you honestly think a granny is a danger to him or his family?
I don't hate Harry, I do think he's done some very unpleasant, mean things. Some of the stuff they've said about family members was awful. Implying William didn't marry Catherine for love but 'suitability' is just spiteful, as well as obviously wrong. You could almost say he's demonstrated his 'hatred' for William, Catherine and Camilla in print and word.
