'Disgraced' Andrew fumed for Scotland Yard protection amid Harry's security plea

Prince Andrew is under fire for receiving taxpayer funded security while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle struggle to pay for their own.

The Duke of York, who was stripped of his royal patronages over rape allegations and suspicious ties with trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, stills gets protection from the Scotland Yard.

Responding to an op-ed from Meghan's pal Omid Scobie, Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu called out the 'disgraced' son of the Queen over special treatment.

"Disgraced Prince Andrew receiving tax funded security while Prince Harry fights to have good security for his family in UK is cruel and unjustified."

Mr Scobie in his op-ed wrote: "If they did then surely the sensitivities around Prince Andrew and his security arrangements would have come under immense scrutiny.

"Though stripped of all royal patronages and military affiliations after the shame of his close friendship with a paedophile billionaire and paying out millions to rape accuser Virginia Giuffre, Andrew’s Scotland Yard protection remains an annual and unchallenged cost of around $500,000 to the British taxpayer."

Omid Scobie added: "RAVEC’s lawyers argue that they were entitled to reach its decision, which currently sees Harry’s security arrangements considered on a case-by-case basis.

"However, it seems cruel in the extreme to allow Prince Andrew round-the-clock police protection but not the future King’s son"
