Prince Harry and Meghan Markle changed schools for Archie and Lilibet in only two days into the new term. The couple’s move, prompted by safety concerns, could reportedly draw sharp criticism from the UK public. The news brings the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s long-running security battle in the UK back into the spotlight, this time connected to their children’s schooling.
Editor suggests the public would reportedly tell Prince Harry to ‘go and s**t yourself’ amid security row
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could reportedly be told to “s**t off” amid a security “stitch-up” row. The remark came from the Daily Express’ associate editor, James Walker, on the outlet’s daily podcast, The Daily Expresso.
Speaking to host JJ Anisiobi about the Sussexes changing their children’s school just two days into the term, Walker questioned the timing of the decision. He suggested that the timing seemed convenient, coming shortly after Harry lost his legal bid for publicly funded security. The senior editor argued that the Duke could now use the situation to strengthen his case for it.
He explained, “And, to be honest, maybe there is a case of publicly funded security now they’re back in the UK.”
The editor added, “But I think a lot of people in Britain, quite rightly, are going to be like: ‘These two made an absolute fortune swanning off and going to be private individuals in America, to then slate the Royal Family, slate the British media, frankly slate Britain as a whole, slate our past, our history, our culture, and then they want to come back, send their kids to really nice schools, probably, with all their millions behind them and then have the cheek to ask us for money to pay for their security.'”
Concluding his point, he said, “‘Go and s** yourself’ is, I think, what a lot of people would say.” In response, Anisiobi pointed out that Prince Harry has offered to pay for his own security.
He emphasized that the non-working royal is not asking for public money to cover the cost. However, the podcast host clarified that current rules prevent private individuals from personally financing police protection.
