‘He’s not a working royal anyway so the taxpayer owes him nothing’ sums up how most Mirror readers feel about Prince Harry.

The Duke of Sussex lost his High Court challenge against the Home Office over the government’s decision to offer him a lower level of security when he visits the UK now that he’s no longer a working royal.

The Prince and Meghan Markle announced they were stepping down as senior royals back in 2020, where they were swiftly warned they wouldn’t be given the ‘same degree’ of protection.

Instead of being offered the same levels as King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales, they were offered similar protection to less senior royals including Princess Anne and Prince Edward.

Harry – who now lives in the US with his family – then unsuccessfully took legal action.

The ruling undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to the King’s youngest son, who has voiced concerns about his children’s sense of security in the UK, stating they cannot truly ‘feel at home’ if their safety cannot be assured. This verdict may influence his future presence in the UK and the frequency of visits by Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to his homeland.

We asked Should Prince Harry be entitled to a higher level of security? Thousands of you voted, with an overwhelming 2,414 saying no he shouldn’t, while just 400 said yes he should.

‘The ‘spoilt one’s’ sense of entitlement really is breathtaking’
Many of you commented on our story, here’s just a selection of what some of you had to say:

Shutupayouface1: “Henry had his security downgraded to the same level as Princess Anne and many other royals so I don’t see why it’s not adequate protection for him, his wife and kids. He’s asking for preferential treatment simply because he has delusions of grandeur.”

Eveningall: “(Prince Harry) just whines and whines. Victimhood is his full time occupation.”

AnnieintheCastle: “He’s got enough money to pay for his own security, he does not live here anymore and does not want to belong to the Royal Family but wants all the benefits that go with it. Harry must be stripped of all titles, a new letters patent must be drawn up and Charles needs to act immediately, this cannot be allowed to carry on any longer.”

McFadden: “They deserve NOTHING from the British people.”

Bigbaz654: “The ‘spoilt one’s’ sense of entitlement really is breathtaking.”

Janlet: “(it was a) good decision and one the tax payers appreciate. There’s plenty of royals to take over to do duties until the King is better. William, Kate, princess Anne and Edward and assorted wives should do the duties. In fact it may be a permanent thing after all the King isn’t getting any younger, and a fairer division of the duties may be best. Harry etc have a life over in the USA, they don’t like the UK lifestyle, so it would suit them better as well.”

Bella257781: “They are no longer working royals and are not residents in the UK, they have detached themselves and as for his children’s safety, they never come over to the UK. He’s using them to get his own way and the taxpayer should not have to pay for a none working royal.”

Boogers: “His security was downgraded to the same level as Princess Anne and others, I don’t see her screaming like a baby. It’s adequate protection. He’s asking for preferential treatment.”

Sparkles 22: “Harry seems to think he’s still top dog here, he’s not! He left his position, he lost the perks of the job. Why can’t the man get on with his life just as he wanted? But no, he has to keep showing off as though he matters
