Prince Harry’s request for police protection during his upcoming appearance at the Living Legends of Aviation Awards has been denied by the U.S. authorities, according to sources.
The Duke of Sussex, who is set to receive the prestigious award for his military service as a helicopter pilot, reportedly wrote a letter to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), asking for security support on the day of the event, which will be held on January 19.
However, the LAPD allegedly refused to grant his request, citing budget constraints and lack of resources.
A source close to the LAPD stated, “We have received a letter from Prince Harry asking for police protection during his visit to the Living Legends of Aviation Awards.
He claimed that he and his wife Meghan Markle are facing serious threats from the media and the public and that they need extra security to ensure their safety.
However, we have decided to reject his plea as we do not have enough manpower or funds to provide such a service.
We have advised him to hire his own private security team, as he has done in the past,” the source added.
The LAPD made it clear that they are not obligated to protect Prince Harry or any other foreign dignitaries, especially when they are not on official duty.
They emphasized that Prince Harry is no longer a working member of the royal family and has renounced his royal titles and privileges.
As a private citizen who chose to live in the U.S., he should bear the consequences of his decisions.
The LAPD highlighted that they have more pressing issues to address in their city, such as crime, homelessness, and the ongoing pandemic.
They cannot afford to allocate their limited resources to cater to a celebrity who seeks sympathy and plays the victim.
Moreover, the LAPD expressed their disappointment with Prince Harry’s letter, describing it as arrogant and entitled.
The source stated, “Prince Harry’s letter was very presumptuous and demanding.
He acted as if he was doing us a favor by coming to our city and accepting an award that he does not deserve.
He also implied that he was a living legend of aviation, which is a joke.
He was a gunner in an Apache helicopter, not a pilot.
He did not perform any heroic feats or make any significant contributions to the aviation industry.
He is just a celebrity who wants to boost his ego and his image.”
The source also claimed that Prince Harry’s letter was influenced by his wife Meghan Markle, known for her manipulative and controlling behavior.
They suspected that Meghan Markle had a hand in writing the letter, as she is the one who calls the shots in their relationship.
The source further alleged that Meghan Markle convinced Prince Harry to quit the royal family and move to the U.S., where she can pursue her Hollywood ambitions.
They also pointed out the couple’s multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify, where they capitalize on their royal status and express their grievances.
The source expressed sympathy for Prince Harry, believing that he is under Meghan Markle’s spell and being used for her own agenda.
They claimed that he has lost his sense of identity and purpose, betraying his country, family, and comrades, while showing no respect for the traditions and values he once upheld.
In conclusion, Prince Harry’s request for police protection during the Living Legends of Aviation Awards has been denied by the LAPD.
The authorities cited budget constraints and lack of resources as reasons for rejecting his plea.
Prince Harry, who is no longer a working member of the royal family, was advised to hire his own private security team.
