**Princess Anne Speaks Out on Prince Harry’s Royal Title Stripping**

Sad news has struck Sussex as Princess Anne has broken her silence on the controversy surrounding Prince Harry's royal title being stripped.

The Duke of Sussex faced criticism from a former top royal protection officer, Di Davis, for his threat to take legal action against the government.

Davis emphasized that Princess Anne only receives protection when carrying out official royal duties, despite facing a near-kidnapping incident in 1974 where her protection officer was shot.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Mr. Davis, who served as the operational unit commander for the royals in 1995, highlighted the disparity in treatment between Princess Anne and Prince Harry regarding security provisions.

He pointed out that while Princess Anne lacks full-time protection, Prince Harry cannot selectively decide when he wants security, as there is no precedent for individuals to pay for their own security in the UK.

The Duke of Sussex, aged 37, has reportedly threatened legal action against the government to cover his security costs during visits to the UK.

Following their decision to step back from royal duties in January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost taxpayer-funded police protection and now privately finance their security in the US, where they currently reside.

Expressing his disapproval of Prince Harry's stance, Mr. Davis remarked that while Harry chose to relocate to America, the UK government must prioritize security considerations.

He underscored that police protection will be provided if deemed necessary, with the Metropolitan Police responsible for ensuring the safety of the Duke and his family in the UK.

Despite the Duke of Sussex's plea for UK police protection, the Queen is unlikely to support his demands for security personnel during his visits to Britain.

In response, Prince Harry's legal representative emphasized the importance of police protection for the safety of his family, expressing concern over the personal risk posed by the lack of adequate security measures.

Prince Harry's willingness to cover the cost of his security in the UK was rebuffed by the Home Office, prompting his application for a judicial review against the decision.

The Duke's insistence on self-funding his security aligns with his goal of financial independence, but the UK government's refusal to provide police protection has led to a standoff between Prince Harry and the authorities.

Author and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, Ingrid Seward, suggested that the Queen would be displeased by Prince Harry's legal threats against the government, particularly amidst the ongoing challenges faced by the royal family.

Seward noted that the Duke's actions may strain his relationship with the Queen, who is already grappling with the aftermath of Prince Andrew's legal issues.
