- An expert contends that Prince Harry does not require the level of police protection he asserts. The Duke of Sussex, who is currently appealing the Home Office’s rejection of taxpayer-funded security, is being told by the former head of Scotland Yard’s Royal Protection that his concerns are unfounded. Dai Davies told The Mail on Sunday that Harry and Meghan’s “security arrangements in the UK are considered individually for each visit.” He stated: “He is provided with a liaison officer who has access to the most current intelligence briefings. The notion that he requires round-the-clock armed protection is absurd—as is the suggestion that Britain is unsafe for him. This new argument he is putting forward is frankly peculiar. It was a straightforward decision by Ravec, entirely unrelated to the Royal Family.”
