It is only the self-hype "Oh, woe is me... I'm so self-important that I need security" that makes them a target. There are plenty of royalty around the world who don't have *any* security. The King of Sweden was well-known for going around Stockholm on trams and buses, for example. The reality is that Harry & Meg & Archie are no more important to the world than anyone else.

I can't speak for the king, but one of Sweden's Prime Ministers didn't come off so well. The reality is that the world is full of armed losers looking for 15 minutes of fame and twisted extremists who think that killing prominent people somehow serves the will of their god. Whatever you may think of H&M's ranking on the prominence scale, or their entitlement to be there, they do stand out from the crowd and whether that is their own doing or not, it does make them targets.

If you’re genuinely worried about personal security, why offer yourself and family up, plus basic location of where you live, on one of the most watched television events of recent history? Probably not best practice for those wanting to lay low. Just saying.

Lay low? So after 6 months the world will forget that Harry exists? Its a permanent issue for high profile Royals. Its no secret where they live, wherever that is.

MikeB4:

While the British hang onto the Monarchy and the Prince remains high on the succession (6th) then he should be given diplomatic protection.

It would appear that it is not the Royal family that decides this, it is the UK Government.

It all seems very petty:

why is their son not a prince? because the rules since 1917 says he wouldn't be
why no diplomatic protection from the UK govenment? because he has chosen to move from the UK
even the alleged race thing was third hand, her stating something from a conversation she wasn't party too.
we all know HR departments are for meeting employment requirements, not the equivalent of the directors
she winges about her dad going public with personal family stuff and she then does the same thing.

I think it's a great shame she she still has a title.

you may or may not want to read this.

Piers Morgan doesn't believe a word she says. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/piers-morgans-resignation-from-good-morning-britain-costing-itv-360-million/UZW2I2MN52NM3PX6MMHQKPIYCA/

It must be true then. I can't find in the article that he doesn't believe Harry either. Piers Morgans says he believes in free speech. Except when he doesn't want to it seems.

All of them. Netflix is paying for eyeballs, the irrelevant Windsor's need attention.

Look at me, I need attention

And that is the dismissive and mocking attitude that is ever present in our society that prevents victims of racism and those suffering mental health problems coming forward and getting help. It is costing lives and it is disgusting. How about opening your eyes and opening your mind and keep these dangerous beliefs to yourself.

Oh, the racism beat-up - that was Philip. He’s embarrassing & hilarious & the good man behind his good woman, QE2. He’s also 99 years old & will not change his attitude - he’s spent his life being one of the world’s most powerful men. Any throwaway remark perceived as racist came from him, stop beating up on the claim of an unattributed, unrepeated insult. Video or it didn’t happen.

The noise around this speculation is only created to justify the stupid price tag paid to these freeloaders for, well, nothing of any value.

Last thing - Kate did not make you cry. Nobody can make you cry. You decide to make yourself cry, that’s the truth. If you’re wrapped in a cosseted world of fabulous wealth & privilege that you managed to sneak into by f*kcing a ginger then spend the rest of your earthly days marvelling at your incredible luck, & maybe try to pay it forward somehow. Bursting into tears in that environment must rank among the weakest & most selfish social interactions of all time.

Do some reading on depression and mental health, you might just learn something.

Oh there is NO excuse for racism be it from individual, institution, Tabloid Press.

Edit: Also your crack at the colour of someones hair is another example of bigotry
