Meghan Markle And Prince Harry's Oprah Interview Affecting The Royal Family's Security?
Richard Eden weighed in on the royal family's security after an intruder threatened to kill the Queen on Christmas Day. According to the Daily Mail Diary Editor, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview where they alleged that the royal family is racist may have subjected them to more risk of being attacked.
"I genuinely worry that Prince Harry and #Meghan's criticism of unnamed 'racist' royals has increased the danger of attacks on the #Royal Family. Security needs to be stepped up as a result," he tweeted.
Eden's post received mixed responses. Some agreed with him while others argued. One said she has no sympathy for the royal family after taking away Prince Harry and Markle's security.
Another defended the royal family saying, only the working royals are entitled to the publicly funded security. Since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from their royal duties, they have to shoulder their security.
