Well, this has certainly taken on a new twist. Prince Harry says that he and his family can’t return to the UK unless they are allowed to pay for their own police protection.
His wife Meghan Markle has not stepped foot in the UK since March of 2020, while their son Archie Harrison hasn’t seen the London fog in person since at least November of 2019. The couple’s daughter, Lilibet, is yet to meet any of her royal relatives. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince Harry Won’t Return To The UK Without Security For His Family
According to reports, Harry’s legal team said they had initiated the legal challenge in September of last year but decided to make that information public now “in order to set the facts straight.”
Harry says that he wants to bring his kids to visit from California, but he and his family are “unable to return to his home” because it is too dangerous, a legal representative said in a statement Saturday.
Harry’s privately funded US security team “cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed” while they visit the UK, the representative added.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the U.K.,” the statement said. “In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home,” it said.
It has also been noted that Prince Harry’s security was apparently compromised due to the absence of police protection the last time he was in the UK. Harry was last back at home in June of last summer, when he accompanied his brother Prince William for the unveiling of a Princess Diana statue at Kensington Gardens.
As Queen Elizabeth’s grandson, Harry has “inherited a security risk at birth,” and his family has been subjected to “well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats,” the statement continued.
