@TheWoolPainter He has backed himself into a corner. Foolish, selfish, entitled man-child. Now the whole scenario has backfired for the idiot. We will have to wait and see 🤷

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@NileGardiner He & Markle could have quietly, privately slipped into the UK with their children, stayed at a RF residence & they would be perfectly safe. They are addicted to drama & the spotlight. It all had to be publicised, tedious self entitled step by step. Markle was never coming imo!

@DeltaSassy He and Markle could have quietly privately slithered into the UK with their children, stayed at a RF residence & they would be perfectly safe. But no...they are addicted to drama & the spotlight. It all had to be publicised, tedious self entitled step by step.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@TourreBakahai @chrisshipitv Does this private company have access to UK intelligence then?! I think not.

Oh, for the love of all things holy, Harry.

This latest narrative only highlights how little he actually understands about either the institution he was born into or the machinery of the British government.

RAVEC has always been an inter-agency committee. This isn’t some new arrangement dreamt up by King Charles or the Prince of Wales to spite Harry.

It has operated this way for years.

It consists of representatives from the Home Office, Cabinet Office, Foreign Office, Metropolitan Police, the Royal Household and other relevant departments.

Depending on operational requirements, it generally has around nine or ten members.

The Royal Household typically provides just two representatives, usually including the Sovereign’s Private Secretary or an equivalent official. This is consistent with reports in official descriptions, court documents, and parliamentary answers. So, these “three members” don't fit what evidence suggests.

Two members out of ten do not control RAVEC.

They don’t have a veto.

They don’t make unilateral decisions.

They provide advice on royal-specific matters such as palaces, engagements and operational requirements.

That’s it.

The decisions are made collectively.

Threat assessments come from specialist security bodies such as the Risk Management Board (RMB), alongside intelligence from the police and security services.

Government departments weigh policy, accountability and wider national security concerns. The Home Office oversees the committee and remains accountable to Parliament. It’s an evidence-based process, not a popularity contest and certainly not a royal family vote.

But then again, evidence and facts have never been much of a feature of the Sussex brand, have they. 🤔

Claims that “Buckingham Palace” or “William’s office” somehow control Harry’s security are simply nonsense.

This comes across as quite desperate, and honestly, rather sad.

So reports suggesting these members have links to Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace don’t alter the reality. Those two officials remain a minority on the committee.

They advise.

They don’t dictate outcomes.

RAVEC exists precisely to prevent one department, one family member or one office from controlling security decisions. Its Terms of Reference, updated in 2021, make that abundantly clear.

Harry will receive appropriate security based on the assessed threat, exactly as he always has. If he stays in a royal residence, additional security is already in place because those sites are permanently protected.

The idea that he would somehow be left defenceless is fantasy.

Keep in mind, this is also the same Harry who's travelled to Ukraine on multiple occasions during an active war, alongside visits to New York, Florida, Germany, the Netherlands, Colombia and several African nations, including Nigeria.

He was even caught on doorbell camera footage wandering around the streets of London ringing strangers’ doorbells while trying to find a friend’s house.

On several of those trips, Meghan was with him, despite those destinations presenting objectively far greater security risks than the UK.

So the idea that Britain's somehow uniquely dangerous simply doesn’t survive contact with reality.

The UK ranks 39th out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index. The United States, where Meghan and Harry live, sits at 134th. Colombia is 141st, Nigeria at 142nd, South Africa is 123rd and Ukraine at 160th.

Some of which he has either visited repeatedly or now calls home.

Yet we’re expected to accept that the United Kingdom is the one place that is supposedly too dangerous for Meghan and the children.

Make it make sense.

You can’t.

RAVEC reviewed the intelligence and concluded there were no credible, specific threats against either Harry or his wife that justified the level of publicly funded protection he wanted.

That’s the end of it.

And no, staff from The Prince of Wales’s office are not sitting around overriding MI5, MI6, Counter-Terrorism Policing or the Metropolitan Police. They never have, they don’t now, and they never will.

Harry's no longer a working royal and has lived in the United States for years. His security isn’t being dictated by William’s office.

Yes, Harry is the King’s son. Nobody disputes that.

What he’s not is a working representative of the Crown or an official ambassador for the Head of State. He and his wife chose to leave those roles and establish a permanent life overseas.

That decision, and that decision alone, changed the basis upon which publicly funded protective security is assessed.

His father remains the Sovereign. His brother's the heir to the Throne. Their security responsibilities are fundamentally different because their constitutional roles are fundamentally different.

It really is that simple.

Harry can package the story however he likes and the press can keep recycling the same tired narrative, but facts don’t change because they’re inconvenient. RAVEC isn’t his problem.

Reality is.

@Pia1946 @DailyMailUK Agree. Markle does not have the courage to return here & face the family & British public she mercilessly lied about. She spouted toxic narratives from afar on platforms where her behaviour was not challenged. Vile spiteful greedy woman.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@unreMARKLEble Always expected a late 'get-out'. I don't think Markle has the courage to return here & face the family & British public she mercilessly lied about. She spouted toxic narratives from afar on platforms where her behaviour was not challenged. Vile spiteful greedy woman.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@TheRoyalGrift Always felt there would be a late 'get-out'. I don't think Markle has the courage to return here & face the family & British public she mercilessly lied about. She spouted toxic narratives from afar on platforms where her behaviour was not challenged. Vile spiteful greedy woman.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@XOQueenEsther Not sure Markle has the courage to return here & potentially face the family & British public she mercilessly lied about. Always felt there would be a late 'get-out'. She's happy to spout toxic narratives from afar where her behaviour is not challenged. Vile spiteful woman.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@TourreBakahai What puzzles me is how/why are there so MANY documents relating to one man's visa application. That said, he is a meddler in matters of a country that is not his own 🤔

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@madis87681 @TheTeaWithLee Yes! I think Markle is afraid to face the British public & family she lied about. She is a coward who spouted twisted narratives from afar. She will only do interviews or be on platforms that do not question her behaviour. In my opinion, she was never going to come back here.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@XOQueenEsther If they stayed at a Royal res they would come under the RF security umbrella. He'll also have the RAVEC assessed level of security as appropriate. Not good enough for the entitled pair. Also Markle is afraid to face those she lied about incl the Brit public. Excuses now.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@SabirahLohn If they stay in a Royal residence they will come under the RF security umbrella. Markle & kids can stay there while H does his public thing. He will have the RAVEC assessed level of security appropriate. Markle is just afraid to face those she lied about incl the Brit public.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@TourreBakahai Another hospital photo op for Markle then. Vile pair.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@frank_rosh It will just show Aich and Markle as the petty, shallow & small-minded people they are. Just because Prince William supports the team, why would it embarrass him if they choose to be vindictive. It's their modus operandi. Jealous and spiteful.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@MsPrint_2 @Savanna221988 Exactly. What does that say about his mother's memory to say she had him only for body parts. Vile twisted man.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@JustSoDuckie Out of his own mouth, "who should be a supporting act..." Markle NEVER wanted to be a supporting act. So she created twisted narratives, played the race card and spouted proven lies.

[SensibleEliza @SensibleEliza]

@RoyalWatchUK Yes! And the look on her face when he said it.
