I form an opinion on a case by case basis.
As I understand (if all that I've read in the press is true and accurate) that Harry was coming to England anyway as part of his Invictus work. His choice- his work- for him to sort out security for himself and his wife and children if they accompany him.
I understand he wanted to take the opportunity to bring his wife and children to visit his family/father but decided not to avail himself of royal family accommodation.
He made a request for security but denied but hasn't here already been a court case that ruled Harry is no longer eligible for UK funded state protection as he is not a working royal and no longer lives in UK- his choice.
That Harry changed his mind over past few days and would now like to stay in royal accommodation is his change of mind. Evidently the palace would need to give staff notice etc and late notice not good and they say cannot be done- their reasonable response. Plus there's now a realisation his stay would clash with another court case of Harry's that publishes its outcome during this trip. Can easily understand that puts RF in a tricky situation.
It is what it is- ball isin Harry's court- come or don't come- alone or with family- fund own security- if he feels its required - and arrange own accommodation. Its for Harry to make his own decisions based on his own priorities and whether he still wishes to visit his father, with or without his children.
Soops kitchen, a place of reflection, refuge and at times revelry.
