Are they trying to provoke a situation where there is an incident by encouraging people to come down there, and then saying afterwards: &#8220;Look, we didn&#8217;t have the police, we can&#8217;t handle it&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2020 the Sussexes lost their automatic, taxpayer funded police protection after stepping away from life as working royals.<\/p>\n<p>Their decision to unveil their plans to the public has sparked debate about whether the public should pay for them to be protected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings could easily get out of hand,\u201d Daily Mail\u2019s Senior Editor-at-Large Richard Kay agreed.<\/p>\n<p>The debate comes after local police were forced to intervene during the Sussexes visit to Nottingham on Thursday when Hello! reported crowds blocked Harry and Meghan&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n<p>During Harry and Meghan\u2019s 2026 Australian press tour, the couple <a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com.au\/lifestyle\/celebrity-life\/seven-reporter-who-labelled-himself-besties-with-harry-and-meghan-prodded-out-of-way-by-prince-in-tense-australian-tour-scenes\/news-story\/71545cb95017a0582468d31e749472f9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">falsely stated News24.com.au breached an embargo<\/a>, divulging details about the couple\u2019s movements.<\/p>\n<p>News24.com.au did not receive any information under embargo, meaning no agreement could have been broken. The information was in the public domain after being published by British media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When approached by this outlet at the time, the Sussex publicist Liam Maguire backtracked on the statement, saying &#8220;we acknowledge that neither outlet was formally bound by the embargo&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>News24.com.au have reached out the Sussexes rep for comment over the recent debate over whether they intentionally shared their itinerary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whilst their circumstances have changed since the Duke and Duchess&#8217; Australia trip, public interest around the couple has not thawed, arguably it has intensified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timings are never something we\u2019re allowed to share publicly in advance,\u201d English also revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really does make me
