To be fair, it's nothing he did that makes him a target for criminals. It's the fault of the UK making him a famous child and now-remotely possible future head of state, so the UK should probably restore balance by keeping him safe while here.
Rich but with high running costs so reportedly still depends on discretionary gifts from the king. Powerful? That's debatable now, with how many in the UK seem to hate him after years of bad press.
Well, according to the article they're "looking at all available options". It seems the major part of this is that the decision to not provide that taxpayer funded security came very late in the planning stages, so now they're scrambling to figure out other options.
It may just mean a postponed trip, but as this one was based on external events (Invictus Games, per the article) the reason for the visit may not longer exist.

He could just like, offer to pay for protection
SpontaneousCombustion@lemmy.world · 40 pts · 65d
He could.
But a life of entitlement conditions him to getting everything he wants, for free.
Since he left the Royal “firm”, he’s finding life on the outside isn’t as easy.

It also made him rich and powerful. I think the balanced is in his favor already.

Far more rich and powerful than the average person. As rich and powerful as he was? Probably not. Than you or I? Yes.

He raped kids, so no

Prince Harry? Are you confusing him with Prince Andrew or do you have a source for that allegation?

Oh sorry, you're right. I have a hard time telling them apart.

Harry's the ginge who married the not-entirely-white Yank woman.

Tbf, they all suck. So it’s an easy mistake to make

Prince harry is the one who decided to not marry the usual white British aristocrat and all the papers turned on him because of it.
They also have handled it in a pretty oafish way, but most of the vitriol he gets comes from a place of racism

That's his uncle.

“I don’t want to be royalty any longer, it’s gauche, I just want all the benefits that royalty get.”
Fuck your entire lineage.

Why is this "World news". Fuck this man, I don't need to hear anything about him.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 65d
Fair enough. He's not a working royal, why should they pay for his protection?
Serinus@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 65d
Because the association is the cause. This isn't something he's done himself.
fcuks@piefed.social · 3 pts · 64d
but he has had a lifetime of benefits from this association

And a lifetime of death threats.

Comes with the territory when you're a feudal lord.
No sympathy.

Pretty sure he has the money to hire his own security.

Really wish the media would just ignore this pair.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 65d
funny
when they are civilians suddenly being in their own country is unliveable without a private military

I wish the worldwide media would decline reporting anything to do with those two.

Does he need it? As long as he stays with family there will be security.
