The great absentees at the mass in honor of Prince Philip of Edinburgh were Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who withdrew from the invitation citing security problems because the United Kingdom Home Office refused to provide security because they no longer They were active members of the British Royal Family.
The event was attended by all members of his family, including much of the European royalty. Of course, an event of such a category had great security, but what Prince Charles’s youngest son claimed was that it was the event or the house he would occupy in Windsor, his family would not have security. Within the royal family, there are few who have security paid by the State, in reality only active members can enjoy this benefit. Harry’s cousins, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, or his cousins Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, do not have public security.
The sit-in of the Dukes of Sussex to Elizabeth II has only infuriated public opinion, even more so, when it was reported that both would be seen in the Netherlands for the start of the Invictus Games, created by the Duke years ago. The games will begin on April 16 and will feature the appearance of the couple in a country where, as they are not representatives of the British Crown, they will not receive private protection either.
So is the Netherlands safer than the UK? Why do the dukes if they ‘risk’ going there but not to the British territory to present their youngest daughter to Queen Elizabeth? The image of the dukes is not going through a good time due to these rudeness that they have starred in with the rest of the royal family.
In the Netherlands they will not be received with pomp and circumstance because they will be traveling as ordinary citizens to sponsor an event. Guillermo Alejandro and Máxima de Holanda will not star in any act with them, not out of rudeness, but they will not make any official or state visit. For the same reason, they will not stay in any real room, instead they will have to settle for a hotel in The Hague.
There is no big difference between the UK and the Netherlands in terms of security. But media such as The Express report that the Sussexes would have achieved ‘VIP’ status in the Netherlands, an issue that will allow them to have some public security. Along with the Sussexes will travel their private security team that may not be armed, but will be in close communication with State security to maintain calm at the event. @worldwide
