Ex-Cop exposes truth behind Prince Harry’s claims on taxpayer-funded security
An ex-cop sheds light on the only way Prince Harry has to get back his taxpayer funded security.
The ex-cop in question is the former head of the UK’s Counter Terrorism unit, Neil Basu.
He spoke to The Telegraph when delivering this verdict and said, “The fact is this. If the Metropolitan Police had been asked to protect the Duke of Sussex by either the head of state—whether it was the Queen at the time or the future King—we would protect that person.”
And “there is nothing whatsoever that would have led us to say, ‘No, I’m sorry, sir, or ma’am, we’re not doing that’,” he admitted.
In terms of what it would take to get that security though, the ex-cop admitted, “I’ve been asked many times, I think the reality is the Duke of Sussex and the head of state, his father, would probably need to come to some arrangement between them. I think that reconciliation would be the key to this problem.”
Still, “what I will say, is the head of state, both the queen, when she was alive, and the king today constitutionally would not want to interfere in the decision-making of either the government or the police. And I’ve happened to have known them both and I know that they would abide by that.”
“It’s quite brutal for principals [royals] when the decision, the discretion, is ‘well, that wouldn’t have any impact at all so we’ll just let you protect yourself’.”
“And that’s where they’ve left him but I think they did it because they didn’t think he would leave. I think they thought if he wasn’t protected he wouldn’t leave the country,” he added before signing off.
Taylor Swift wants her groom to be equally involved in the wedding planning.
A 2012 interview of the pop sensation with Cosmopolitan magazine is resurfacing after her engagement to the NFL star Travis Kelce.
In that interview, Swift talked about what she had envisioned regarding her future wedding and the involvement she demanded from her partner for their big day.
She told the outlet, “I want to build a life with someone that’s based on their dreams as well as my dreams.”
The Beautiful Eyes hitmaker added, “I don’t want it to just be like, ‘So, I have a scrapbook. In it, I put all the fabric swatches of the wedding dress I’m going to wear. I also have a tuxedo I picked out of a catalog that you’ll wear.’ I don’t want him to wonder if it even matters if he’s there.”
For those unaware, Swift is engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Kelce. They dated each other for two years and finally announced their engagement on August 26, 2025 in a joint Instagram post.
An insider also opened up to Radar Online regarding the 14-time Grammy winner’s wedding plans.
“Taylor doesn’t want to make their wedding all about her. This is Travis’ day, too, and she wants to share the special occasion with him and their friends and family and make it about all of them. This is a joint venture,” the source stated.
A wedding planner will be hired but “Taylor and Travis have an idea of what they want the ceremony and reception to be like,” noted the insider.
“Taylor wants it to be stress-free and fun,” the source said.
