In 2022, Prince Harry will publish his "long-established" personal memoir. This year, in order to "build momentum" for this forthcoming memoir, the Fallen Prince and his former American actress wife, Megan Markle, are destined to "stir up" more vigorously.
In the first blow of the new year, the Duke of Sussex made an inexplicable fuss about his queen grandmother, and also smashed the "dream" of his old father, Prince Charles, into pieces.
On January 15, Harry, who was far away in the United States, suddenly made another "unreasonable" request. In fact, since he and Meghan stepped down as senior members of the royal family, the Duke of Sussex has offered on several occasions to buy 24-hour "police protection" services for himself and his family during their stay in the UK. (Such security measures are usually provided for members of the royal family and officials who have reached a certain level.) ）
After being rejected several times, the Duke of Sussex was furious. This time he asked the British HO (Home Office) to re-examine the recent decision to "deny him security from his own pocket" or Else Harry threatened to file a lawsuit.
This move of the runaway prince can be said to directly "smash" the 95-year-old Queen of England into a dizzy turn. In the eyes of the old ladies and royals, and even ordinary people throughout Britain, since the moment Harry and Meghan withdrew from the royal family, they had lost the right to be protected by the security specially provided by the London police for the royal family. On this point, there is no dispute between the parties (except Harry). (The cost of "police protection" is borne by the UK taxpayer.) Although Harry offered to pay for this portion himself, the London Police Service is not a private institution, much less does it provide such private services exclusively for the wealthy and prominent.
In other words, it has nothing to do with who pays for it; that is, since you have given up being a senior member of the royal family, you are no longer eligible to enjoy this "exclusive service". For Harry's unreasonable teasing, the queen, who has recently been upset because of Prince Andrew's bad heart, decided to chill her grandson. After the news was exposed, a royal source revealed: "For this matter that was finalized two years ago, the queen will not make any evaluation and interference." ”
This queen calmly watched, and the other prince Charles was sad and depressed for half a day. It is reported that in the past two months, the relationship between Charles and Harry has shown signs of easing. A royal source confirmed that the Prince of Wales and the young son's family had made several "friendly and pleasant" video calls.
It was not until Christmas Eve that the old crown prince finally expressed to his son a strong desire to spend quality time with his grandson and granddaughter. As we all know, Charles has not seen his grandson Archie since December 2019, let alone his young granddaughter Lilibert Diana, who was born last year.
It is reported that this is the first time that the old man has issued such an invitation after Harry and Meghan quit the royal family. The source revealed: "The Prince of Wales really misses them (Archie and Lilybet) and he is also very saddened that he did not have the opportunity to accompany them. It's safe to say that if he doesn't get to know Harry's children, he will feel that there is a part of life that is missing. It was something he desperately hoped to remedy; therefore, he said, if Harry Meghan wanted to, they could take their children home and live for a while at any time. ”
However, Papa Cha's dream of "heavenly bliss" was ruthlessly shattered by Harry's first blow of the New Year. When Harry threatened to prosecute, his legal spokesman issued a statement. In the statement, Harry's spokesman made it clear: "Prince Harry and his family cannot return home without such protection (24-hour police protection). And Harry's request, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, is impossible to achieve.
Although Charles's dreams were shattered, some British royal experts said that Harry's fuss had found a perfect excuse for Meghan and the children not to return to Britain. Royal biographer Phil Dampier said in an interview with the media: "I think Meghan will never be back in this country again, which is a very good excuse for them not to come back with Archie and Lilybert. ...... I actually don't think [Harry] is expecting to win this [lawsuit]. I think it's more of a strategy for him. ”
Since he didn't expect to get this "privilege" back, why did Harry make a fuss about it? This is probably the strategy problem that Dampier mentioned. First of all, we must continue to make some noise in order not to be forgotten. This must be the first point for Harry and Meghan to maintain the heat. Secondly, frankly, I personally feel that Harry and Meghan are rarely "smart". Harry made such a fuss, and on several important occasions this year, such as the thanksgiving ceremony for the late Prince Philip in April and a series of major events for the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne, he and Meghan have a space to "attack and retreat". There is a saying that you should go back, and there is a reason not to go back.
Of course, in Meghan's usual style, this woman, who is eager to be noticed by the whole world, is unlikely to miss such a big and grand moment as the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Queen's ascension to the throne. But before she goes back for a long time, how can the "Queen of Mei" take Na Qiao and create some "splash"? Of course, it is best to get this "privilege" back; after all, the annual security premium is also a lot of pressure for Harry Meghan. It doesn't matter if you can't get it back, anyway, the effect that these two people want has come out.
Last but not least, the incident of Andrew being stripped of his title a few days ago has once again irritated Harry and Meghan. In the statement it released, there was a very clear and straightforward statement: "It is well known that other people who leave public office and face an 'inherent' risk of threat receive free police protection." Prince Harry's goal was simple: to ensure his and his family's safety in Britain so that his children could learn about his home country. ”
Is this passage straightforward enough? Andrew was stripped of his rank and royal patron, could no longer use the title of "His Highness" in formal occasions, and because the sexual assault case had such a bad impact on the royal family, but he was not protected by the police?
So, I (Harry) am also a person who has been at risk to security (facing an 'inherent' risk of threat) since birth – the sixth in line to the British throne, and I (Harry) have a good "character", why can't I (Harry) get the same treatment?
In fact, from Harry's point of view, he feels that his character is better than Andrew's; but from the perspective of the royal family, the "lethality" caused by Harry and Andrew to the royal family is enough for them to "hurt their bones"; it can even be said that Harry and Meghan have caused more negative effects than Andrew. This is really a proper "fifty steps, laugh a hundred steps".
Incidentally, after Andrew was stripped of various titles, there have been calls from the British public, the media and representatives from all walks of life in the United Kingdom to be stripped of the "police protection" privileges that Andrew still enjoys. As Charles did, it was believed that Andrew would soon be stripped of this privilege as well.
