Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, made three applications after leaving the British crown to provide him with safety protection for him and his wife, Meghan Markle, and the children when they returned to the UK, but the application was repeatedly denied because the two were no longer members of the royal family, which sparked resentment among Harry's supporters.
Among them, Omid Scobie, a royal journalist and biographer who has been confirmed to have worked privately with Harry Meghan, stressed through a social media platform:
Prince Charles, the first heir to the throne, was revealed in May 2002 to have privately paid for the security of two full-time JCs for his then -long-term mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles (now the Duchess of Cornwall), and the royal response at the time was "this is a private matter." ”
Mr. Skobi alludes to the fact that Charles had "exercised his privileges" at will, privately hiring official staff to provide security for Camilla, who had not yet entered the royal family at the time, which meant that Prince Harry could also provide protection for his wife and children in the same way.
However, in the 2002 report that Charles provided security for Camilla, it was not explicitly stated that the prince was hiring JC or active military personnel, which was a personal over-interpretation by Skoby, coupled with his inappropriate use of camilla in the comments he posted, and the discontent of royal fans and the British public exploded.
One netizen replied below Scoby's remarks, writing: "I would like to remind you of two things, first, in 2002 His Royal Highness Charles and Princess Diana had been divorced for many years, and his relationship with Camilla had been public for many years, and it was very sketchy to continue to refer to her as Charles's 'long mistress' in this case. ”
"Second, as the girlfriend of the first in line to the throne, she does need adequate security, and we can fully understand Charles's act of providing her with personal property, and also, do not try to continue to substitute this for the Harry Meghan incident, because in 2020 Charles provided them millions of pounds to pay for security expenses at a time when they were short of funds."
This "backlash" has received a lot of likes and support, and even some netizens expressed the hope that Mr. and Mrs. Skobi will move to the United States with Harry, the main reason for this situation is not that Camilla has gained such a huge popularity, but for the British people and royal fans, Harry Meghan, who has betrayed the royal duty, has been regarded as an "outsider", compared to people will naturally choose to maintain Camilla, who will play an important role in the royal family in the future.
The millions of pounds mentioned in the netizen's article refer to the financial support provided by Charles to Them when Harry Meghan had just left the royal family.
In 2021, Harry Meghan specifically targeted Charles in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, accusing him of ignoring them and Archie when they needed help most. Unable to bear it, Charles published the bank statements of the time, which clearly stated that he had provided 4 million pounds of funding to the other party with personal assets, which was subsequently confirmed to have been used for Harry Meghan's security problems, but the latter's response to this was vague and eventually failed.
