He wants the same protection for his family that the rest of the RF have.
He doesn't want a motorcade, etc. Does anyone here really think that any of 
the other Royal kids move a muscle without proper protection? They are 
surrounded by them wherever they go. Are we so mean-spirited that we
don't care a toss about Harry's? Because he married a coloured American and
 wrote a truthful book?
My goodness, the Harry and Meghan haters, it seems, are also Prince
Archie and Princess Lillabet haters. 

It beggars belief! And makes me sick!

Unless we have mega-rich friends who will hand us the odd £5 million 
like Farage, we'll have to hope the gov' has found a money tree. 
I just try to cut my coat from my ever-diminishing cloth.
I know nothing about Burnham except some remark mad Kemi made
about his T-shirt and eyelashes, and I can't see into the future, so 
I will wait without too high an expectation.
