Security concerns surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have escalated following reports of threats from far-right extremists.
The situation has sparked discussions about potential public support for the couple’s safety measures.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, in an interview with the Mirror, suggested that the Duke of Sussex’s efforts to ensure top-level security for his family, despite facing government refusal, could evoke sympathy from the public.
Fitzwilliams pointed out that the Duke’s personal attempts to finance additional police protection were met with challenges, including concerns about creating a disparity in security levels.
Legal proceedings regarding his initiative ended unfavorably, underscoring the complexities of the situation.
Despite potential setbacks, the analyst emphasized that the Duke’s personal history, marked by the tragic loss of his mother, Princess Diana, might resonate with the public, potentially influencing their perspective on the security issue.
The threat posed by far-right radicals adds another layer of complexity to the situation, further intensifying fears for the safety of the Duke and Duchess.
The haunting memory of Princess Diana’s untimely death continues to linger, shaping the Duke’s approach to security matters.
While full taxpayer-funded security for non-working royals remains unlikely, there is a growing acknowledgment of the unique challenges faced by the Sussexes in this regard.
