He could just like, offer to pay for protection

SpontaneousCombustion@lemmy.world on 28 Jun 09:51 next collapse

He could.

But a life of entitlement conditions him to getting everything he wants, for free.

Since he left the Royal “firm”, he’s finding life on the outside isn’t as easy.

To be fair, it’s nothing he did that makes him a target for criminals. It’s the fault of the UK making him a famous child and now-remotely possible future head of state, so the UK should probably restore balance by keeping him safe while here.

He raped kids, so no

Prince Harry? Are you confusing him with Prince Andrew or do you have a source for that allegation?

Oh sorry, you’re right. I have a hard time telling them apart.

Harry’s the ginge who married the not-entirely-white Yank woman.

9point6@lemmy.world on 28 Jun 12:22 next collapse

Prince harry is the one who decided to not marry the usual white British aristocrat and all the papers turned on him because of it.

They also have handled it in a pretty oafish way, but most of the vitriol he gets comes from a place of racism

That’s his uncle.

Zorque@lemmy.world on 28 Jun 14:22 collapse

Well, according to the article they’re “looking at all available options”. It seems the major part of this is that the decision to not provide that taxpayer funded security came very late in the planning stages, so now they’re scrambling to figure out other options.

It may just mean a postponed trip, but as this one was based on external events (Invictus Games, per the article) the reason for the visit may not longer exist.

Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works on 28 Jun 09:58 next collapse

Fair enough. He’s not a working royal, why should they pay for his protection?

Serinus@lemmy.world on 28 Jun 14:07 collapse

Because the association is the cause. This isn’t something he’s done himself.

plyth@feddit.org on 28 Jun 10:10 next collapse

Does he need it? As long as he stays with family there will be security.

I wish the worldwide media would decline reporting anything to do with those two.

funny

when they are civilians suddenly being in their own country is unliveable without a private military

“I don’t want to be royalty any longer, it’s gauche, I just want all the benefits that royalty get.”

Fuck your entire lineage.

jordanlund@lemmy.world on 28 Jun 14:34 next collapse

Pretty sure he has the money to hire his own security.

Thorry@feddit.org on 28 Jun 15:02 collapse

Why is this “World news”. Fuck this man, I don’t need to hear anything about him.
