Prince Harry has been accused of trying to manipulate his father to ensure his 24-hour security is reinstated. The Duke of Sussex, 42, lost his taxpayer-funded security when he stepped down as a working royal and relocated to the US with Meghan Markle in 2020. The couple returned to the UK at the end of August, with Harry’s security now under review. The pair have expressed several concerns about their security since returning to the UK, one of which led them to pull their two children out of school after just two days. Meanwhile, a spokesperson the Duke and Duchess of Sussex branded the international photographers spotted lurking outside the gates of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s school as “extraordinarily reckless”. However, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield believes the couple may have leaked details of the repeated security threats themselves in an effort to have their security arrangements reinstated.
“It’s clear to us that the ultimate objective is Harry trying to manipulate Ravec to give him taxpayer funded security. He wants 24-hour taxpayer funded armed guards that shadow him and every member of his family,” she told Kevin O’Sullivan on TalkTV.
“It’s attention seeking, but really the ultimate objective is for Harry to manipulate his father, to try to humiliate his father and embarrass his father into stepping in and helping him, and trying to manipulate Ravec, who are determining whether Harry and Megan 24-hour armed guards.”
Earlier in the interview, Kinsey accused Harry and Meghan of “playing games”, arguing that details about two men allegedly lurking around their children’s school would never have become public unless the Sussexes themselves, or someone close to them, had disclosed the information.
“The the problem is these two play games. And one of the games we know they play is sourcing the media. Harry and Meghan, or someone close to them, gave the story to an American outlet,” Kinsey claimed.
“We were talking about some of the details that Newsweek had and how the only way Newsweek could have these details was if someone from Harry and Meghan’s camp had given them to them.”
“They specifically said they were observed by Harry and Meghan’s security detail to be working as a team. The couple’s security took down the registration plate of the car the pair were using and discovered it was rented,” she continued.
“How are we going to have details like this unless they are coming straight from Harry and Meghan themselves?,” the royal commentator probed, before later declaring: “Harry and Meghan are driving the bus!”
Kevin agreed: “They’re headline hunting. They’re desperate. They’re fame hungry.”
