Rae also commented on Prince Harry's legal battle with the UK's Home Office over police protection. He noted that Prince Harry is considering another appeal, which could further strain public finances.
The issue of police protection for Prince Harry was also addressed, with Rae highlighting that he isn't entitled to the same level of security as working members of the Royal Family. Rae suggested that Prince Harry, being financially capable, should arrange for his private security if he visits the UK, while acknowledging that he would still receive police protection if accompanying or interacting with the Royal Family.
Rae questioned the necessity for Prince Harry to repeatedly be reminded that he's no longer a working member of the Royal Family. This remark was prompted by discussions about Prince Harry's ongoing legal battles with the Home Office regarding security, with attention drawn to the significant taxpayer costs involved.
Despite the controversies, Prince Harry is expected to return to Britain in May to attend a service commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at London's St Paul's Cathedral.
