Prince Harry's Security Case Reopens
Prince Harry has said numerous times that he will not bring his immediate family overseas without proper a proper security team waiting for him, as he doesn't feel safe. For many months, Harry has publicly lashed out at the royal family for not supporting his bid for more security. However, as of this morning, the UK government is reopening the case.
According to The Sun, evidence is being collected from Harry's team, the police, and the government in order to come to a decision about Harry's desired security team. We won't know their decision until January, but if it sways in Harry's favor, it could mean that King Charles finally gets to spend time with Prince Archie, who he has only met a few times, and Princess Lilibet, who he has only met once.
Social Media Reactions
While certainly a cause for celebration for Harry and his family, many royal fans are outraged that their tax dollars could now be going to the security team of a non-working royal. "He can pay for his own security," one person wrote in a comment on Instagram.
"They are not working royals, so they don't deserve security paid by the taxpayers," another person agreed.
"Wasn't Harry walking around a neighborhood without even one security guard going door to door?" another person asked, referencing Prince Harry's stroll down a random London neighborhood in May, in which he knocked on several doors looking for an old friend of his.
"No taxpayer will say yes to this," one user posted.
"The UK is gonna pay for security for four America-based pseudo-royals who do nothing for British public service," a final royal fan pointed out. "This doesn't seem fair!"
