Some comments have included, “This is a total disgrace and it is horrifying that Andrew gets taxpayer funded security while harry and Meghan and two little children are deprived of full security even when harry is willing to paid for their security,” along with, “The Royal Family is hiding behind all of this. They do not want Harry and his family to be safe. They are pulling the same strategy they used on Diana and are hoping for the same results.”

Another fan wrote, “Andrew’s day-to-day activities are horse riding and visits to the Queen? Security costs are 500K to 3M a year? Andrew’s circumstances are markedly different – followed by accused of raping and abusing. Yeah, I’d say that’s markedly different from Harry’s situation. Even the part about “may have been considered a security risk” – like they’re really stretching to find an excuse for this.”
