So if something happened to Harry, the King will be

[mkrrcum]

Prince Harry was born a prince but you had no issues removing his protection.

[n.sundari]

Prince Harry has been cut off security. Disgraced Andrew should have been cut off long ago.🧿

[captainjamesjamesy]

He doesn’t even pay it for his own son. The family is weird

[whatisaid]

Am laughing my head off. Did he say he was born a Prince and he is at risk. 🛎️ So Prince Harry can also get his too

[janneyb]

If Harry can do it so can Andrew. What is good for Andrew is good for Harry

[xosweetieox]

Prince Harry is a prince and he lost his protection, wth!why is he still in royal lodge????Andrew is not a working royal

[housewlk]

If the Royal family can do this to their blood Prince Harry, God knows what treatment Princess Diana went through with the Royal family behind closed doors. God bless her spirits.

So IF beyond a shadow of doubt it can be proved that Andrew Windsor has dealt with minors. Does he still deserve security because he was quote ’born a Prince’?

Brexit has cost £140 Billion so far, we can't afford things like the Monarchy any more. We've hungry children to feed, the NHS to fund, and a £140+ Billion Brexit black hole to fill.

Harry and Meghan Step back from Royal duties, not from the Royal Family. As the gentleman said of Andrew, he was born a Prince, just as Harry and Archie and Lillibet. We all know why Harry and his family are treated that way

[retiredcajunlady]

Here is my American take on Andrew. He was known to be a great favorite of Queen Elizabeth, and I believe would never, ever have taken the steps she took to remove him as a working member of the Royal Family, nor stripped his titles and privileges had she not had absolute, irrefutable proof of his quilt in all things "Epstein". This wonderful lady lived a life of service to GB and the Commonwealth putting the Crown before herself and her own wishes. I believe Andrew was ordered to settle the SA lawsuit with Ms Giuffre as there was no way to exonerate him. Perhaps Andrew has not spoken out against the Royal Family, but he did do much damage throughout his adult life to bring heartache and shame. He was indeed born a prince, but never behaved as a true prince of the realm or acted in service to those he should have served. Andrew has been nothing but a burden, an embarrassment, and disappointment to the Royal Family as he behaved as spoiled, entitled brat his entire life...IMHO.
The King should not only stop paying a dime for anything on Andrew's behalf, but also enforce the "letter of law" in the lease for Royal Lodge, which Andrew cannot affor to live in much less keep up property as it should be. Andrew needs to scurry off like the failure he is as a prince and Royal Family member, and live out his life as a private citizen and in solitude. JMHO

[shogunable]

Family argument the public shouldn't even be involved with. Charles money so he can do as he pleases and it is time for these situation that Charles should act as he pleases. What need does Andrew have of a 30 roomed house that is reported he cannot afford, yet still rides horses and his Bentley.

[luizasoi]

If Prince Harry wasn't married to Meghan and left the royal family, he would have security and all the other great benefits....who we kidding 😂 it's a racism thing 😅

[Alexander-ujpb]

No one should be paying anything for andrew.

[arananation]

I don’t think he going to lose his security, he is losing security to royal lodge to get him to move out and he would have security at his smaller house which is completely reasonable!

[fay]

If Harry's was axed and he did nothing illegal...YES !!!
Then let's question the Royals generally...can we choose ???

[ktktktkt]

Let me get this straight; Prince Harry gets cut off from absolutely everything for no good reason. Prince Andrew that plays with children on an organisational level, oh no we couldn’t possibly leave him unprotected 😢

[armchairguru]

I do not believe the Queen died without making provisions for Andrew from her private fortune.

[jonathanhill]

Plenty of security at any one of his majesty's prisons
