🕵️🇬🇧🇺🇸Well, move over MI5. Stand aside MI6. Clear a desk at CIA headquarters.

If the headlines are anything to go by, Prince Harry’s privately commissioned American security team has produced an assessment so astonishing that Britain’s intelligence community must be wondering whether they’ve been doing it all wrong.

According to reports, Harry’s experts have highlighted serious terrorist threats against him and his family.

Which leaves us with two possibilities.

Either Britain’s security services already knew about these threats…

…or Harry’s consultants have apparently achieved the greatest intelligence breakthrough since someone invented invisible ink.

If it’s the first, then what exactly is the report adding?

If it’s the second, perhaps the Government should stop recruiting intelligence officers and simply outsource the lot to Harry’s consultants.

Think of the savings.

Forget James Bond.

The next 007 will apparently be carrying a laptop, a consultancy contract and an invoice.

And here’s the real twist.

This remarkable report is now part of the argument for restoring taxpayer-funded police protection.

Convenient? Coincidental? Or just another extraordinary chapter in a saga that never seems to run out of plot twists?

One thing’s for certain.

If a private report can suddenly become the hottest intelligence document in Britain, somewhere inside MI5 there must be a room full of analysts quietly asking:

“Could someone please explain what we’ve been doing all these years?” 🍸

Perhaps next week Harry’s team will locate Atlantis, solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle and finally discover where all the missing government USB sticks ended up.

At this rate, nothing would surprise us.

Do you think a privately commissioned security report should carry enough weight to influence taxpayer-funded police protection?
