British Royal News – Royal Fans Weigh In On Prince Andrew’s Security Matters In The UK

According to the Telegraph, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (known as Ravec) assessed the security threat of all members of the royal family and believe that Prince Andrew is still in need of protection.

The publication writes, “The extent of Prince Andrew’s day-to-day activities since being stripped of royal duties is unknown beyond horse riding and regular visits to the Queen. But he will continue to be entitled to a personal protection officer whenever he leaves his home. His property on the Windsor estate has permanent security arrangements.”

Of course, many royal fans and critics alike have weighed in on the matter on social media. 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.”
