Screenshot Harry is refusing to return to Britain without police protection.

Here’s a list of my understanding of Prince Harry’s concerns. Beneath the list, I will address each of these concerns one by one.

  1. He doesn’t feel safe from physical threats in his native country of the UK and due to this he might not be able to visit his family in his native country anymore.
  2. He doesn’t feel like his daughter will ever meet her great-grandmother because of this lack of safety even though his daughter is named after her great-grandmother.
  3. He “inherited” a safety concern simply due to his identity and that is a burden he carries even as a private citizen.
  4. He worries about how he will protect his children.
  5. He wants cops and cop resources to act as his own private security.
  6. He wants the people of the UK to give him their resources while saying he wants to pay for those resources.
  7. He said he wants to be financially independent but still thinks public resources like the police should be given to him and his privileged family.
  8. He thinks being a veteran entitles him to police protection.
