Should Prince Harry have retained Royalty Protection? (Part 2)

Black Spy Podcast, 195, Season 20, Episode 0006

In this week’s Black Spy Podcasts, Carlton King and his compatriots, Firgas Esack and Doctor Rachel Taylor delve into the subject of the provision of state controlled close protection operations.

As they began last week in part one, the team continues looking into the fall out of the court decision on to agree with the UK Home Office and the Metropolitan Police Service to withdraw police close protection from Prince Harry and his family.

The argument played out in the UK Government, Civil Service, Police and finally the High Court was that the withdrawal of Prince Harry’s 24 hour armed close protection was seemingly based on the fact that now Prince Harry is estranged from the British royal family and hence no longer undertaking royal duties, that state, in the form of the Royalty Protection section of the RaSP department (Royalty and Specialist Protection Command) of the Metropolitan Police Service should no longer provide Prince Harry with this state sponsored function. Whereas, Prince Harry’s argument was, that by virtue of his birth into the Royal Family that regardless of his role, he’d still be seen as intrinsically linked to the very essence of the UK and hence be at threat from the UK’s enemies.

Carlton uses his decades of expertise in the UK’s governmental protection, national security and secret intelligence fields to answer the questions on this issue posed by his podcast colleagues. Moreover some surprising connectivity is uncovered by both Firgas and Dr Rachel vis-a-vis Prince Harry’s situation.

So, if you want to continue learning whilst being entertained this and next week’s continuation of this subject are must listen episodes. Please don’t forget to subscribe to the Black Spy Podcast for free, thereby you'll never miss another episode.
