While some people say that the best thing to do when you can’t beat them is to join them, that doesn’t seem to be the case here. In fact, a lot of people are still wondering why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to opt out from Prince Philip’s memorial service in London this past week. Apparently, they had a good reason for it. Here’s what you need to know.
Harry and Meghan did not attend the memorial for the Duke of Edinburgh as a dispute with the Home Office over security arrangements continues. Harry is bringing a claim against the department after being told he would no longer be given the “same degree” of personal protective security when visiting from the US, despite offering to pay for it himself.
Was This The Reason Why Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Were Absent From Prince Philp’s Memorial?
A representative for Harry previously said the duke wants to fund the security himself, rather than ask taxpayers to foot the bill.
And even though Harry didn’t make it to the memorial service, there’s a chance that he might still make it to London by this summer, despite his security concerns. Apparently, Prince Harry wants to make peace with his father now that they are on much better terms than they were this time last year.
The timing is quite interesting, seeing how next month Queen Elizabeth will become the first British monarch to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. There’s some speculation that Prince Harry might return to London for the festivities, which might be the reason why he wants to fix some of his relationships with a few members of his family.
One source close to the situation tells The Sun that Harry and Charles have been having secret talks lately. A source told the publication: “There has been a definite thaw in relations between Harry and Charles.
They are on much better terms and have been having friendly chats and video calls. It has been suggested to Harry he may live to regret any lingering family bitterness, and he has taken that on board.”
The insider also claimed: “There is a feeling he is coming back more into the fold and wants to be closer to his family.”
