Lady Diana’s bodyguard against Harry: “Scotland Yard protection is not for sale”

The threat of the prince Harry of suing Her Majesty’s government for depriving it of Scotland Yard’s protection was challenged by former bodyguard of his mother, who had also protected him when he was a child.

“Scotland Yard protection is not for sale,” said the former inspector Ken Wharfe with the London Evening Standard. “It doesn’t work like that and he knows it. If he wants, he is in the financial position to hire former escort personnel who know the protocol and are authorized to work in the royal residences, which is what the princesses Eugenia and Beatrice already do. The only difference is that their stocks cannot be armed, ”he concluded.

It all started when Harry’s lawyers had one delivered to the Home Secretary pre-action protocol letter in which they warned that they would start legal action in the event that the prince and his family were not guaranteed the police protection if they were on British soil. For the moment Harry and Meghan they live in Montecito, California, and have their own host of bodyguards protecting them. For the Queen’s JubileeHowever, they are planning to fly to London and the prince believes his personal escort is not enough, because it does not have access to intelligence information needed to ensure the safety of you and your entire family. That’s why – he says – he is willing to pay for the escort out of his own pocket, as long as it is made available by Scotland Yard.

For grandfather’s funeral Filippoprotection had been granted by the state last April, but in July, when Harry returned to London for the unveiling of the statue of Lady Diana at Kensington Palace, Scotland Yard had not planned to protect him as well. And the prince wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again before he takes the whole family to London for his grandmother’s Jubilee.

That of security, with the Megxit, has become a sore point for the Sussexes: Meghan herself, during thebombshell interview from March to Oprah Winfrey, had lamented the Crown’s decision to remove their protection when they left (slamming the door) Buckingham Palace. In the list of complaints, the Duchess had also included the little one Archie, “left untitled and unprotected”, without specifying that as heir to a younger son, the child was not entitled to the title of prince from birth, like William’s sons.

His words had made Oprah’s mouth turn up and the audience outraged, but both the Duchess and the host had failed to mention that the protection of members of the royal family is borne by British citizens, who pay taxes for that too. No longer making them part of the active Royal Family, therefore, Harry and Meghan no longer had a right. Now Harry, who accepted it first in Canada and now in the United States, at least in his country would like to be safe, and since he only trusts Scotland Yard he is willing to pay out of his own pocket for her protection. Otherwise it will go to court. Becoming the first member of the royal family to sue Her Majesty’s government.
