Hmm.

I'm with you for the title thing, that argument is kind of disingenuous. But since part of the reason they need security is due to their connection with the royal family, I can see that as more nebulous. Former US presidents do get Secret Service protection, though they can refuse it. It's not quite the same mechanism, but there are similar principles at play, I think. You don't get a paycheck when you quit a company, but if you had been with that company for, like, 35 years, you might expect some consideration.

It's a completely different mechanism, unfortunately for them. I agree, they need security because of their fame and royal connections. Whether or not the funds for that security should come out of their own pocket or British taxpayers' pockets is a separate issue. This is how the royal system works, right or wrong. Royal who aren't working for the Crown don't get $$$. It might not be fair, but they can't claim ignorance of how the system works just because they don't like the results.

I don't think working Royals should usually get paid security either, they're rich enough to pay for it themselves. They can have paid security at ceremonial public events, that's fair.

They don't! Only the Queen, DoE, Charles & Camilla, and William and Kate get 24/7 security because they (+ their spouse) are the monarch/consort or future monarch/consort. Everyone else just gets security when they're doing engagements on behalf of the crown. Like, Anne and Edward are the Queen's children but they don't have a personal security team unless they're doing engagements, so why on earth would Harry think he was going to get one when he was not even working?
