Trump says U.S. will not pay for security protection for Prince Harry

Not same thing, now the impression is given, see amongst others this thread, that they asked the US to pay for their security. And so far that has been proven incorrect.

Well, they didn't publicly ask. Maybe Harry had a quiet word like he did with the Disney boss when he was embarrassingly caught begging for work for Markle. In any case, the UK paid. Canada paid. I'd be willing to bet they wouldn't turn it down if offered. 

 

Unfortunately for Markle, Mr Trump has a long memory and Markle's comments about not returning to the US while he was President were not only untrue, but have bitten her in the azz. Maybe she'll learn to keep her silly Woke comments to herself in future, especially considering that in the current climate many businesses are going to have other priorities than throwing millions at her for dishing the dirt on the British Royal Family. Not the best time to be starting out on a new business venture, that 8 million for security is probably looking a lot harder to cover than it was in January.

There is no indication that either Prince Harry or the British government has asked the U.S. government to cover security costs, which some media reports have said run to millions a year.

 

    But this psycho assumes it. Unbelievable.

Just stick to facts in stead of speculation and prejudice.

 

And the facts are that they did not ask.

Neither of us know the facts about what was or wasn't requested behind the scenes.

 

The only fact that we know is that Mr Trump will not agree to the US paying for it. An excellent decision.

Lonely and old - hardly. Homeschooling my primary and secondary kids here in Bangkok with all this shut down business. Trying to work as well.  Pretty busy doing that so hardly enough time for....
 

Stalking - 5555 dont have too many big tickets on yourself will you? Yours was just the latest of the comments to chose from.  Sorry you feel bad me pointing out your hypocrisy. 
 

As for brexit threads - sorry to disappoint fella, I post where I want.
 

Get a kick out of ordering people about do you? Blokes like you all gravitate the the threads where you love telling people - especially women and minorities -  what to do. Says a lot.

In the meantime his Brother and Sister-in-law made a moral boosting visit to a NHS call centre where William said he would like to return to working with the Air Ambulance during the crisis.

Good on them - genuinely.

 

If Harry and Megan did it, you know the usual suspects would call it woke virtue signalling before descending into a bitchy rant fit for the pages of British tabloid.

An old school friend of mine was a member of the crew on William's air ambulance when it was based in Wales. He said that he and Katherine were genuinely nice, decent people who were surprisingly down to earth. I have a feeling that Harry would behave in a very similar fashion.

They have not "withdrawn from any Royal connection" and your view of their status doesn't affect their status.  They do not have diplomatic passports.

Another poster did assert that Harry had a diplomatic passport. 

That poster's information was incorrect, the royal family use ordinary passports.

Trump has a gift for not making decisions about real issues. Such as in the early day days of the Covid-19. Now it seems he also has a gift for making decisions about unreal issues. A genuine Renaissance man!

Spot on.

This obnoxious couple will be creating "news" until they split - and probably way beyond that.

Because Megan Markle wasn't already independently wealthy and successful when she met Harry? Misogynist much?

or tall poppy syndrome perhaps.

Mind you the media loves them into boredom/dislike  for most of us.

She grew up with an at least reasonably well-off family in Hollywood. Attended private schools and then got her degree at a very competitive American university. What part of that signifies trailer trash to you? And even if she did grow up poor and in a trailer, what kind of person would critique someone based on how she grew up in circumstances that would be outside of her control?

For these blokes it’s bad enough that she is a woman with a voice and not a meek little wall flower who ‘knows her place’.
