Royal Expert Says Protection Should Be Granted Only For Children
Prince Harry and Meghan want automatic armed protection whenever they arrive in the United Kingdom. The Duke claims that he feels unsafe visiting the country without official support. He is looking forward to the final decision going his way. And in case he wins, he would be given the liberty to travel more with Meghan and the kids.
Sarah Vine argued that such a request should only be considered if it is in the best interests of the couple’s two young children. According to her, the only way the Duchess’s trip would be justified is if they take the children to see their British family members.
It’s because both children were away from the family. And they were never given a chance to build a real connection with cousins or grandparents. Moreover, the family should be worried as Archie is sixth in line of succession.
Experts believe that if his protection is upgraded, he would not be hesitant and might work on more considerate visits. However, the debate hasnt stopped. It’s because the taxpayers fund the armed police protection. And this benefit is usually reserved only for the working members of the royal family. Howeve,r Harry and Meghan do not carry out any public duties.
Royal News: There Are Concerns Over What A Positive Ruling Could Mean
Critics say that if Harry and Meghan get approval, it would be a half-in, half-out position. And the Palace had rejected this years ago. And these concerns have grown more after reports stated that the ruling will give them a special status. People who have been following royal matters question the kind of message it will send if two non-working royals receive benefits.
Sarah says Meghan should get only police protection when she is travelling with the children. She says the couple can afford private security and should rely on that when they are on personal trips. They should cover the cost themselves and leave public funds for official use only, she says. For more Royal News and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
