Harry’s desperate bid for ‘privileged security’ gets answered: ‘Why no Archie, Lili without all this?

Millions of critics and fans have seen Prince Harry launch request after request, then land on an appeal, and even take the Home Office to court for armed police protection, and someone finally asked the question ‘why’.

This person is none other than the host of Kinsey Scofield Unfiltered, Ms Kinsey herself.

She asked this question to one of her guests body language expert Scott Rouse.

She phrased it by saying, “does it confuse you at all that Harry thinks he needs not like not in America where people do carry guns like on a typical Tuesday, but in the UK, Harry thinks he needs this super duper privileged security? Like when he lands, he wants there to be armed guards waiting for him that shadow him throughout his entire trip?

Ms Scofield even explained why she thinks the way she does and said, “that's odd to me and It is why ultimately we didn't see Meghan and the kids, because Harry didn't have the security he wanted.”

Mr Scott responded with his own two cents and said, “well, he wants that because he wants to look like he's a royal and one of the reasons that she and I were there as well” he believes was because they were “hoping to get pictures” and “hoping to do all that stuff because she wants they have to stay in that world. -- You know what I mean? They have to say, ‘Oh, it's Prince’. But of they if they pull his titles, he's had it. That'll be it.”

In Mr Scott’s view, “it's all about ego. All about ego,” which is what he said before signing off.
