Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have come under fire after issuing a demand ahead of their return to the UK. Duke is said to have privately pleaded with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to reinstate the taxpayer-funded security for him, Meghan, 45, and their two children. The couple have now faced criticism on News24, formerly Sky News Australia, with presenter Danica De Giorio accusing them of “double standards” and referencing Harry’s previous comments about not wanting to bring his family to the UK due to safety concerns.
She said: “The double standards of these two never cease to amaze me. This a guy who has spent years bagging the royal family, claiming that the monarchy was racist. In an interview last year, he said along the lines of that he can’t imagine a world where he’d ever be able to take his family back to London.” The presenter added that Harry had claimed he could become the victim of a terror attack, dismissing the concern as “absolute nonsense”.

Danica was quick to remind viewers of the time Harry was seen knocking on several doors in London while searching for his friend’s house.
“He’s happy to go knock on doors in London, ring every single doorbell, be out and about in public,” she remarked. “Yet now he needs taxpayer funded security again, even though it has been denied of him in the past. Why is he such a pampered poodle?”
The Nerve podcast host Maureen Callahan likened Harry’s behaviour to that of a toddler, claiming he repeatedly raises concerns about security in the hope of eventually getting his way.
She said: “This question about royal security has been asked and answered many times. Harry keeps asking, he keeps getting told no, and he’s doing the thing that all toddlers do, which is just become a haunt and a nag. Ask, ask, ask, ask until you get your way.
“Apparently, Princess Anne does not have that kind of security. Apparently, Edward and Sophie do not have that kind of security.
“Harry and Megan are no longer working royals. I think it is beyond tone-deaf to demand that the British taxpayers, who they have offended and affronted, foot the bill so that these two can feel important.”
The presenter was quick to agree, declaring: “Absolutely. You’re right. There are actual working royals right now who do not get this sort of treatment and Harry and Meghan swan in thinking that they are just so important and that taxpayers really care about them.”
Slamming the couple further, Danica branded them “delusional” and “dumb”, adding: “I can’t wait to see what the British public reaction is going to be like when they actually set foot back in the UK because I don’t think that they’re going to be the ex-royals that they think that they they are.”
