It was always a simple question of common sense for me, should a non-working member of the royal

family who carries out zero public duties for this country and has no obligations to the British

people and no formal links whatsoever to the work of the monarchy, receive the same taxpayer-funded

protections as the rest of his family who do all that. The answer, self-evidently, I would have thought, is no.

But Prince Harry disagreed, as he often does, with almost everyone about everything.

He dragged the British government into court of his decision to downgrade his taxpayer-funded personal security detail for his increasingly rare visits to the UK.

Well, today, the High Court refuses application for judicial review.

In other words, Harry has lost his case. Regardless of what you may think about him personally,

I think I've made my views pretty clear, this is demonstrably the right decision. The artist,

formerly known as Prince Harry, is at this point a kind of B, maybe C-list celebrity in Los Angeles.

He lives in California, Montecito, spends a lot of his time in L.A.

He works on the personal causes he supports.

He writes books and makes movies about how awful the royal family is and how dreadful

and prison camp like the monarchy is and blah, blah, blah.

He makes a lot of money trashing his family.

In his most recent interview, he made it perfectly clear,

his focus is elsewhere.

I've got other trips planned that would take me through the UK or back to the UK.

So, you know, I'll stop in and see my family as much as I can.

Think about becoming a citizen?

I have considered it, yeah? Of course he has. Yeah, of course. You're not alive in America. And you know what? Good luck to you, mate. Because here's the deal. If you become a US citizen, you have to give up all your titles. They don't allow them in America for their citizens. So this is a win-win for everybody. Go and be an American and just exist as you, Harry.

See how you get on. No one's saying that he shouldn't be allowed any kind of security
