Decisions about protective security should be based on a clear-eyed assessment of the threat and impact they face.
I don’t presume to know what the outcome should be for Prince Harry, that is not for politicians. But having with my security hat on, having worked in national security, I strongly believe the only relevant consideration should be the assessed level of threat, and the professionals should be allowed to reach that decision independently.
Police protection is not a reward for public service. It exists to prevent attacks, deter those who would do harm and manage known risks before lives are lost.
Those responsible should of course make their assessment based on evidence, intelligence and risk - not headlines, politics or public opinion.
The central question is simple: what is the genuine level of threat faced by Prince Harry and his family when they are in Britain?
The decision should be made independently on that basis alone. Nothing more, and nothing less.

@Heccles94 It’s because of the lies he went on spreading. Selling his country and family for money his no different like Judas who sold Jesus Christ.
Maybe he could have apologized before going back . But announcing his return as though nothing happened, the entitlement uhhhm.
Another lie:
“We went to a place, a secret place only we knew. Under a spreading banyan tree, while Meg wept, I dug a hole with my hands and set the tiny package softly in the ground.”
Will they be leaving that in the US?
King Charles must 'put his foot down' over Harry and Meghan's return - either he forces the couple to apologise or strips them of their titles, OR ELSE 'the future of the monarchy' will be at stake: RICHARD EDEN sounds alarm on Sussexes' homecoming https://t.co/oaBYo4Ecoi
I wonder how Oprah, Gayle, and Tyler feel now. All three of them played by two people that didn’t give a rats about anyone but themselves.

@WalesFlower@AlthorpHouse of course Charles Spencer doesn't like Prince William. The prince of Wales has dignity and respect the country. Respect his mother
@NileGardiner The guy who refused to King was thrown out of the country. It could have been the same with these two. Now they’re bringing more problems for our William.
