Prince Harry does not have any plan to visit Britain in March

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Msrkle are members of the British Royal family. He met Meghan, an actor in a popular TV drama “Suits” and the pair married in 2018. They have two children Archie and Lilibet. In 2020, they decided to step down from royal duties and relocated in America. A spokesperson for the royal confirmed that Harry would not attend the memorial service of his grandfather Prince Philip scheduled for March 29. However, Harry does have plans to visit Queen Elizabeth II, his grandmother, at the earliest. He and Meghan have not traveled to Britain with their children since they stepped down from their royal lives in March 2020.

Prince Philip expired on April 9 and laid to rest April 17. The funeral was a low-key affair with a limited number of people because of COVID-19 restrictions. Harry had come to attend the funeral service in April 2021 but would not be present for the memorial service. They are not entitled to get police protection while in Britain. That is the effect of leaving the royal duties,. He does have his own security while in California but he feels that would not be adequate in Britain. He has taken up the matter for a judicial review of a Home Office decision. The Metropolitan Police provides a special taxpayer-funded security force for senior royals but Harry and Meghan are not eligible for that because they do not fall in the category of senior royals.

Security beefed up at cinema halls in the US following shootings

Regal Entertainment Group is beefing up its security in its cinema halls and has started to check bags – it would inconvenience guests but would also provide better security. This has been implemented in response to shootings at theaters around the country.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 20 August 2015.

This has already been introduced and viewers have noticed the change in Texas, Virginia, Florida and Ohio from the beginning earlier this month.
Regal Entertainment Group of Knoxville, Tennessee, operates some 570 theaters around the country. And, it has announced on its website that “security issues have become a daily part of our lives in America" and that bags and backpacks are subject to inspection before the owners enter the hall.
Another company National Amusements Inc.'s Showcase chain has, on similar lines, banned backpacks and packages and reserves the right to search purses and bags. This group runs about 30 theaters in the northeastern U.S. They have introduced this from Aug. 7 and have indicated that it would be in place "for the time being."
Incidentally, security was tight at the Los Angeles premiere of "Straight Outta Compton" – the invited guests had to navigate various barricades and pass through metal detectors before they could pick up their tickets.
