Maybe it’s us who need protecting from Harry and Meghan

ANOTHER week and yet another missile fired from America’s shores in what seems like a never-ending blitz on Buckingham Palace.

Between Princes Andrew and Harry, the two have provided enough bombshells to have the Queen wanting her abdication P45 such has been the trouble they have caused.

Yet throughout it all, Her Majesty has remained stoic in her duty as monarch.

After weeks of having to contend with the increasing humiliation her son, the Duke of York has created over accusations of sexual abuse, it wasn’t long before Harry reared his head again.

This week it emerged the Duke of Sussex is set to take legal action against the Government after being stripped of his police protection whenever he deigns to grace the UK with his presence.

Harry hinted he’s desperate to bring his children back to the UK – but feels it’s too dangerous for the family without his Met bodyguards.

His offer to pay for speciallytrained police officers for him and his family has been rejected as a Home Office decision prevents him from doing so.

You see Harry’s main fear is that his private security team lacks the necessary international jurisdiction and access to UK intelligence data to keep him and his family safe.

He also warns that if a royal family member is wounded on British territory, the country’s reputation would suffer.

Of course, all the Windsors face a threat, given their positions in society.

But it is no secret the warmth once bestowed on Harry and his wife, Megan Markle, thawed long ago given the manner of the couple’s decision to quit the UK and royal life before then launching a hostile campaign against the royals.

Last year it was claimed palace courtiers had “genuine concerns” Meghan “could be booed” if she ever makes another public appearance in the UK.

Months later, the Sussexes were jeered by a celebrity crowd attending the UK’s National Television Awards when a clip was played from their infamous interview with Oprah.

It is understandable then why Harry has grave concerns.

Given that the Duke’s celebrity, military service, and seeming unpopularity have put him in jeopardy – and that he has volunteered to cover the bills himself – his demand, on the face of it, appears unoffensive.

It should, though, be refused.

The Government’s ability to provide top-tier security is, and should be, confined to the most critical people working for the British Government.

By his own choice, Harry has become a private citizen.

If he is granted police protection, there is no reason why others should not be given it. The police would quickly become subcontractors for the affluent and famous.

When the Duke elected to step down from his royal post two years ago, the Queen and many people expressed their disappointment.

But he made his decision, and now he must live with the repercussions.

He can’t expect to keep the advantages now that he’s given up the duties of being a royal while living the high life in his £11 million Californian mansion.

When he relinquished his royal duties, he relinquished the comfortable life he had become accustomed to.

His resentment of his own life decisions though, appears to know no bounds.

Given how frequently he openly rants about his family and how poor his UK life was, you would think he wouldn’t want to return anyway.

If anybody has to be protected from Harry and his constant moans these days, it’s Britain.
