So let’s say The Duchess of Cambridge divorces The Duke of Cambridge would she after the divorce receive police protection in your opinion?
No doubt IMO.
She is, also after a divorce, one of the most high-profile women in the world and she is after all mother to a future king.
She would be a potential target for extremists, kidnappers, stalkers and other nutcases of all kinds.
Extremists because no matter what, she would still have millions of devoted followers and be the center of constant media interest. Any extremist hurting her would have succeeded in getting whatever message they have across.
Kidnappers because as such a high-profile woman and a mother to a future heir, there is no way any demands for a ransom will be ignored.
Nutcases have all kinds of motives, becoming famous by harming one of the most well-know women in the world would be one.
IIRC Diana was offered protection after her divorce from Charles but refused the offer.
LaRae
Yes, instead she had privately hired bodyguards. And the police in the various countries she visited (including UK) offered police protection on a as-need basis.
Apart from that the world was different when Diana died. Not necessarily less dangerous for a woman like her, but the authorities were perhaps more naive back then.
I simply cannot imagine Diana not having 24/7 protection were she around today.
No security agency in any country would wish to be caught with their pants down not having offered her protection, only for her to be attacked.
I will go so far as to claim that most countries wouldn't even ask her.
- It would be a take it or stay away option.
