Prince Harry Called Out for Throwing a ‘Hissy Fit’ Amid His Security Battle as Duke’s Behavior Makes King Charles Look Like ‘the Bad Guy’

Prince Harry is continuing to fight for security privileges in the U.K., but his demand for personnel could negatively impact King Charles’ reputation.

“I think just this is further proof that this is all a hissy fit that Prince Harry is pitching because he wants to make his father look like the bad guy,” Kinsey Schofield told TalkTV.

In February, Harry rushed to the U.K. to visit Charles when the royal was diagnosed with cancer, but His Majesty failed to attend his son’s Invictus Games gathering in London.

“He gets ‘unavailable right now,'” a friend told an outlet. “His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the King’s health, but those calls go unanswered too.”

OK! previously reported sources claim Harry wants his dad to influence the government to grant him police personnel in the future.
“The threat is very real. He needs protection. The idea that the security forces wouldn’t allow anything to happen is a very glib dismissal of the reality of the threat the family faces,” a source told an outlet.

In the past, Harry expressed concerns about Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilbet’s safety while traveling around the U.K.

“Why would he bring his wife and children back to the U.K. if they are not going to be protected? The duke needs protection, they need protection,” a source said. “The threat level hasn’t changed since he stepped back from the royal family, if anything it has got worse because of the tabloid campaign against him and his wife.”

An insider explained that the duke would need protection while in his native nation, as a private bodyguard wouldn’t suffice due to the U.K.’s strict laws about firearms usage.

“The fact that there is even any debate around (Harry’s) security is unbelievable when you look at the situation. The late queen made it really clear [at the Sandringham Summit] that she wanted him and his family protected,” a source noted. “She intervened to allow Andrew to keep his protection. Why is it impossible for his dad not to do the same for Harry? If the king wanted, he could do this for his son.”

Royal historian Garreth Russell discussed the High Court ruling against the duke.

“Recently the decision in the court here that said the rescinding of security from Prince Harry because he was no longer a working royal was unjustified or was a mistake,” Russell told OK!.

“If you are the grandson of a reigning British monarch, out of that, you’re going to be the son of a reigning British monarch,” The Palace author stated. “We have to be realistic about the threat he will always be facing. We cannot hold our royal family at ransom and say ‘You must continue to do this job exactly as prescribed,’ and if you don’t, ‘we will take away your security in Britain for you and your children.'”

Elle King says she feels like a ‘different person’ months after drunk Grand Ole Opry performance
Story by Tom Murray
• 5h • 2 min read

Elle King has opened up about finding a “silver lining” to her disastrous, drunken Dolly Parton tribute performance at the Grand Ole Opry in January.

The “Ex’s and Oh’s” singer, 35, was part of a star-studded lineup taking part in a concert for the Queen of Country’s 78th birthday celebrations.

King appeared to slur her words as she told the audience she was “hammered” before launching into a chaotic cover of Parton’s song “Marry Me.”

While Parton was not in attendance herself, King’s behaviour was branded “disrespectful” and Parton’s sister, Stella, accused King of insulting Parton’s fans.

During a recent appearance on the Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe podcast, King shared that she entered a therapeutic program after the Opry.
“After everything that happened in January, I went to a different type of therapeutic program because I was very sad and nobody really knows what I was going through behind closed doors,” she said.

“And I just took that as, A., if it wasn’t this it was going to be something else, and B., I had to heal and deal and go through things. And someone said to me, I think you might find a silver lining or something good that comes out of your experience with that, and I’m like I haven’t found it yet motherf***er!

“But I feel like I’m a different person. I’m still incredibly anxious constantly, but I was before, so at least I’m a little more conscientious of it.”

In February, Parton urged people to move on “cause [King] felt worse than anybody ever could”. “She’s a great girl,” the “9 to 5” singer told ExtraTV. “She’s been going through a lot of things lately, and she just had a little too much to drink.”

King previously said she had been “going through something very heavy and traumatic in my life at the time” of the performance.

She said she hadn’t eaten or slept “in days,” which left her feeling “really overwhelmed” and “like a shell of [herself].”

“I take one shot too many and I’m just not there in my body. I’m not there. I don’t remember it,” King recalled.

She said of the backlash to her show: “I was mortified. I hand-wrote an apology letter to the Opry. I hand-wrote an apology letter to Dolly.”

She added that days later, Parton called her and “gave me really kind words and told me, ‘Well, Dolly’s not mad at you, why should the world be?’ [She] made me laugh. That’s the kindness from women.”

The Independent has always had a global perspective. Built on a firm foundation of superb international reporting and analysis, The Independent now enjoys a reach that was inconceivable when it was launched as an upstart player in the British news industry. For the first time since the end of the Second World War, and across the world, pluralism, reason, a progressive and humanitarian agenda, and internationalism – Independent values – are under threat. Yet we, The Independent, continue to grow.
