Well, isn’t this a plot turn? You switched on for the latest cinematic episode of Prince Harry fights the fight – not against the Mirror this time, not against Murdoch either, but against those who have stripped him of his security protection – and then the script goes to places that no one expected.
He loses his legal challenge in the court of appeal over the degree of security he is entitled to on the public purse while in the UK – that was pretty much expected. But then, in the second instalment of Britain’s longest-running potboiler, he exclusively opens an anguished heart to the BBC, post the appeal court verdict, and all sorts of dramatic twists ensue.
