British journalist Martin Bashir said his countrymen may not stand for their tax money going to protect members of the Royal Family who do … that.
CNN’s Piers Morgan didn’t go that far, but opined that privately, “the Queen will tell him this is a bit unseemly for a senior member of the royal family.”
Harry is also “likely to get a kicking from his commanding officer,” Morgan says, as the British army won’t be too keen on the “embarrassment factor.”
