............on Harry and his ........ wife.........and their outrage at not being protected by the Royals anymore. They claimed to even offer to pay for it themselves.
I wondered why it was an issue? There's plenty of private people for hire.

What goes into protecting Prince William and Princess Kate as they visit the US?

Months before Prince William and Catherine, princess of Wales, were set to visit Boston -- their first trip to the U.S. since 2014 -- one little-known American government agency sprang into action.
The royal couple on Wednesday begins a three-day swing in Massachusetts culminating in an awards ceremony Friday night.
Agents from the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) -- diplomats with badges and guns -- make up their protective detail, according to two senior DSS officials who spoke with ABC News.
"We are the law enforcement and security arm of the U.S. Department of State and we protect the secretary of state, foreign dignitaries who are visiting the United States foreign ministers, former heads of state, members of the royal family, in this case, as well as U.S. citizens, athletes, corporate sponsors," Andrew Wroblewski the deputy assistant secretary and assistant director of the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) for domestic operations said.
Wroblewski, who served on various protective details himself during his tenure at the agency, said they have been working with the United Kingdom to get the schedule and protection strategy firmed up.
