The royal family says Harry and Meghan are “private citizens” and must not use HRH yet non-working Beatrice and Eugenie retain theirs. 🤔 Same institution, different rules? The public deserves an explanation. 👑
Daily Mail just admitted it invented an entire Harry & Meghan “secret lunch” with Geri & Christian Horner. The visit that never happened, “summit” that never happened, friendship that never happened, advice that never happened.
Vivek Chaudhary wrote it as fact.
Readers ate it.
Then a tiny correction after the damage was done.
This is the state of British journalism. Pure unadulterated invention of news!
It’s fanfic with a byline and a circulation department.
UK tabloids treat fiction as news and the audience treats it as gospel.
Shameful, cheap, and they will do it again next week.
Meghan Markle shared a carousel of photos from her and Prince Harry's U.K. "summer holiday" with their kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, including a rare shot of the whole family on a beach. https://t.co/As0e15xANf
We’re now expected to believe the High Court judgment in Prince Harry’s case against the publishers of the Daily Mail has suddenly thrown the Palace into a panic because of concerns over the King’s constitutional position.
But here’s the problem: according to Prince Harry’s representative, the Palace has known about the judgment since last Thursday. If they already knew, what changed? -They never believed Prince Harry would actually accept the offer. It was never made in good faith—it was a public relations exercise, a bluff designed for appearances. Prince Harry called that bluff. Outrages, no room for the fifth in line of succession to the British throne.
Another dark cloud over the Monarchy!
Former UK counterterror chief Neil Basu said Prince Harry should be on the protected list, calling his threat level “very high.” He told The Telegraph Harry ranked second only to the late Queen in 2019 and warned his risk has since increased, requiring full armed protection.
☕ Monday: Hot Take
The monarchy is looking like a fucking joke.
Somebody has to say it.
First, we’re told the King’s own son can’t get the level of security he believes his wife and children need to safely visit the country where he was born, raised, served in uniform, and represented the Crown.
Now reports say Buckingham Palace has withdrawn the offer for Harry and his family to stay there after a dispute over whether his team responded in time while trying to sort out… the fucking security.
Think about how insane that sounds.
His team was trying to figure out the security before committing to the trip.
And somehow that’s what became the issue.
Who the fuck is running Buckingham Palace?
And before somebody says, “The King doesn’t control security…”
Fine.
Then let’s talk about the people who do.
Where’s the government?
Where’s the Home Secretary?
The UK is now in the lead-up to hosting the Invictus Games next year.
This “One Year to Go” moment should be about the veterans.
It should be about service.
It should be about Britain showing the very best of itself.
Instead…
We’re talking about security.
We’re talking about accommodation.
We’re talking about palace drama.
Again.
Tomorrow there’s an expected court ruling in Prince Harry’s case against the press. Whether you support him or not, that’s another moment likely to put this issue back in the spotlight.
Prince Harry is still a member of the Royal Family, even if he’s no longer a working royal.
So here’s what I don’t understand…
Wouldn’t this be the moment for the Royal institution to rally around one of its own?
Wouldn’t this be the moment to put the veterans first?
Wouldn’t this be the moment to show the world what Britain does better than almost anybody else—service, tradition, and respect for those who have worn the uniform?
Instead, the headlines keep pulling the attention somewhere else.
Whether that’s coincidence or simply the way events have unfolded, the result is the same.
The focus shifts away from the competitors.
Away from the veterans.
Away from Invictus.
And that’s a damn shame.
You can spend all day trying to protect the image of the Crown.
But if protecting the image becomes more important than showing leadership…
Sooner or later, there won’t be much of that image left to protect.
Since 2020 the Sussexes have had visits to: The Netherlands,Australia,Germany,Canada,Nigeria,Colombia,Ukraine,Jamaica,Japan,Singapore,China,Mozambique,Rwanda,Jordan,SA all while residing in the US.
And NONE of these countries ever made such shitshow with security/ accommodation!
Charles pays for Andrew to live in a huge home on his private estate. But he won't let his son stay for a few nights in a palace he no longer uses. On one hand it's trivial psychodrama, but Charles is showing more concern for Andrew than Harry, who hasn't done anything wrong.
@JeremyVineOn5 Given up on the RF. absolute joke. Harry puts in the work worldwide and we’re left with the idiots at the palace not providing accommodation or police protection. Not my king and I’ve gone from a staunch royalist to someone who could happily see the back of the foolish four.
“If Met Police were asked to protect the Duke of Sussex by the Head of State or the future King, we would protect that person. There’s nothing that would’ve lead us to say ‘sorry sir or ma’am, we’re not doing that.’” -Neil Basu, Ex-Head of Counterterrorism
I admire Prince Harry for always putting his family’s safety and well-being first.
As a grandparent, I’d move heaven and earth to see my grandchildren. If the King can marshal every resource to protect his alleged pedophile brother, then there is
no excuse for failing to ensure his grandchildren can visit safely.
At some point, people are left to wonder whether keeping them away has become more acceptable than ensuring they can visit safely, or that their safety simply isn’t a priority.
This is not a stain on Prince Harry—it is a stain on the monarchy itself. History will remember this long after today’s headlines have faded.
These two do not realise the gravity of denying DoS, Prince Archie & Princess Lilibet the highest level of security. Their decisions & actions now brings back into focus their racism. Racism that is endemic in the institution & the Windsors are unequivocally a RACIST FAMILY
Taylor Swift got royal security.
Yet, royal security was denied to Prince Harry’s mixed race wife and children, even though, he offered to PAY for it himself.
I can’t think what the difference might be???🤔
@RoyalFamily@kensintonroyal
Kirstie, spare us the armchair novel-writing about children you’ve never met.
In 12 years’ time, Archie and Lilibet will indeed know the full, documented record, every book, every interview, every video, every leaked briefing, every inquest.
They will know exactly how their grandfather, the King, treated their grandmother, Princess Diana: the public betrayal, the emotional abandonment, the marriage in which she was reduced to a vessel while he conducted his long affair and then admitted it on national television.
They will know how that same institution left their 12 year old father to walk behind his mother’s coffin with almost no meaningful support from the man who became King.
They will also know how that grandfather and their uncle treated their own parents.
They will see the withdrawal of security despite documented threats to their lives, the racist media campaign their mother endured while the family stayed silent or leaked against her, the stripping of their home, the cold public statements that prioritised optics over protection.
They will understand that Harry and Meghan did not take some idyllic British life from them, they saved them from the same toxic cycle that destroyed their grandmother and came perilously close to destroying their father.
The real rebellion, if it comes, won’t be against two parents who chose safety, love and freedom over dysfunction.
It will be against the people and the institution that still cannot bring themselves to protect their own while demanding loyalty in return.
Your staggeringly predictable story is only predictable to those who have spent years refusing to read the actual history instead of the fan-fiction version that flatters the Crown.
Harry and Meghan broke the pattern. Their children will grow up knowing exactly who tried to keep it going. Get lost!
Reminder there are people in prison for plotting to murder Prince Harry and harm his wife Meghan and son Prince Archie. And these are only the ones we know about
If you think he’s being dramatic by fighting to keep his family safe I’d love to see you walk a mile in his shoes
I’m sorry, but this whole situation is fucking trash.
The King. The UK government. The institution. The optics are all trash.
We’re talking about a British Army veteran, the founder and patron of the Invictus Games, saying he won’t bring his wife and children to the UK because of security concerns.
Think about that.
Veterans deserve better than this. The founder of the Invictus Games deserves better than this.
Next year, the UK is set to host the Invictus Games. Every host nation has a responsibility to provide a safe environment for the Games and everyone attending. Yet the conversation surrounding the founder’s own family’s security has become a story in itself.
That’s not something to celebrate. It’s an embarrassment.
And don’t tell me this reflects well on the King, the government, or the institution because, in my opinion, it doesn’t. It reflects like shit.
The whole world is watching this play out, and the message isn’t one of strength. It’s dysfunction. That’s fucking trash.
What an embarrassment and shame for King Charles and Royal Family. Prince Andrew continues to receive security, however, Prince Harry, who has served his country on two tours feels unsafe to bring his family to London. Shame!
