Harry’s Taliban kill boast has put public and royals in danger, says former protection officer

Dai Davies said his comments will cause security concerns for him, the royal family, and members of the public attending large outdoor events.

He also told GB News that they will affect not only his family in America but also the royal family here in the United Kingdom and when they travel abroad.

He said: “It also impacts on the rest of us, because security now will have to be heightened both for the Royals and at any large event.

“It hasn’t done anyone any favours, particularly himself, and I just think it was a lunatic decision to make.”

After leaked extracts from his book Spare came to light, Taliban officials reacted with fury, even shamelessly calling for Prince Harry to stand trial in Afghanistan for war crimes.

Mr Davies said: “The Invictus Games and other areas where he or his family are likely to go will be impacted too, it is going to impact on the overall security package.

“Every time a royal or even a former working royal like Harry goes anywhere there will need to be a new plan because of his comments.”

Asked by Stephen Dixon if Prince Harry’s comments will have a direct effect on royal security, Mr Davies said: “I would be upping the ante as far as all our royals are concerned for the foreseeable future as a consequence of this man’s remarks.

“It was stupid. It was silly and it was unnecessary. I just don’t know where he’s coming from.”

Earlier, royal commentator Jennie Bond told GB News: “He is a likable sort of chap. He’s clearly immensely damaged, very understandably, by the trauma of losing his mother, far more damaged than we were ever led to believe.

“But I think he’s also a little bit deluded by these ideas of world peace…and also that he is on a sole mission it seems to protect the United Kingdom from the evil, evil press.

“He has very lofty ambitions and I’m glad he’s happy.

“But any path to peace, harmony and reconciliation has been severely damaged by what he has said, particularly about Camilla.

“I’ve always thought that Charles has a red line, and I think Harry crossed it.”
