PRINCE Harry has placed his children in the crosshairs of extremists and will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, say security experts.
They warned that by boasting in his book Spare of killing 25 Taliban insurgents, the Duke of Sussex has elevated himself and his family into one of the world’s top security risks, alongside Russian president Vladimir Putin and the former US premier Donald Trump.
SAS hero Andy McNab said Harry’s comments were “unwise”, adding “as we have seen for decades, extremists don’t care how they get to targets as long as they do.” As a result the Duke will face a bill of £5.5million a year for round-the-clock protection needed to keep him, wife Meghan, 41, and children Archie, three, and Lilibet, 19 months, safe.
Tony Schiena is the British founder and CEO of Mosaic, a private security firm once tasked with assessing Harry’s protection in California.
He said: “There is no doubt Harry’s latest claims have elevated his status as a security risk.
“I would assess this puts him and his family in the category of the world’s top 25 targets.
“I’d expect him to now require a seven-person protection team, including a team leader, costing around £10,000-a-day.
