Ukrainians are burying their dead in mass graves. Hospitals and schools are under attack. Millions of refugees are looking for sanctuary in countries including Britain....Haz says he can't honour his war hero grandfather in London because it's too dangerous.

Whoever Tourre is, he's spot on.

He has young children and is under no obligation to do anything other than what's best for them. That's just how it is for the first 10 years or so of having kids, for everyone, surely.

That doesn't add up.
He can go to the Superbowl and a rodeo in Texas in the gun toting USA with his 'not good enough' security, but can't attend a memorial service for his grandfather with the top notch security that will be covering all the Royals?

Harry is at more risk in the UK than he is in the US. I think surely you do know that. The chances of anyone at the Superbowl seeing Harry and saying anythibg more than "Hey... Hey y'all! Ain't that that British Prince guy?? Henry? Barry?"

Why’s he at risk in the U.K.?

He's at risk in the UK the same way any member of the Royals are, which is why they are heavily protected. He is the Future Kings son and has upset a large number of Royalists so that opens up another level of danger to him and his family

So has Prince Andrew but he was still driving around on public roads, snapped by the paps

What’s someone going to do him, throw a coronation chicken at him?

I didn't say he's at huge risk in the UK (any high profile figure is always at some risk) - I said he's at MORE risk in the UK than he is in the US, because in the UK the Royals would be the ultimate target, whereas in the US he's not even on par with a big current Hollywood A-lister, and there will be plenty of those at the Superbowl. They'd be more excited if they saw Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans sat together than they would to see "That British Prince".

A gun toting nutter would get himself far more attention by shooting the future King of the UK's son than he would Chris Evans, don't you think?
Every day in the USA, on average 316 people are shot every day. How many in the UK? How many with high royal protection, which he would have at a Royal event? NONE. EVER.

I was forgetting that there wasn't any terrorists or crazy gun toters in the US. Why the Royals get even higher security when they go there is just ridiculous.

A Royal on a State visit is far more of a target than a celebrity who lives in California. Many gun toting americans will walk past Harry on the street and not take any notice but the pomp and circumstance around a Royal visit will bring out the radicals. When Harry goes to the superbowl now its no more of a big deal to them as any two bit celeb

If he goes to the memorial he will be protected by the mere fact he is there with the Queen, Charles and Will

His visit to the Superbowl was no different from him going to Wembley to watch the Rugby. He would have had security guards with him at both. Harry could walk through the streets anywhere and people would walk past him and not bat an eyelid....he is at more risk of assassination in America simply because more people carry guns. There are many Royalists in America that will not like what he and his wife have done and its a far bigger country....
At the end of the day it is a convenient excuse for his beloved Meghan...

Its a load of bollocks....its a feeble excuse to get out of visiting. Meghan simply does not want to come...and Harry finds himself in that awkward position of having to find an 'excuse' everytime they get an invite for one thing or another...
He has finally found one he can use time and time again....he is in more vulnerable where he lives now...its a joke.
