There’s a very American reason for why Prince Harry wants police protection in the UK: guns.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex meet fans during a public walk along Viaduct Harbour on Oct. 30, 2018, in Auckland, New Zealand.
In response to what the Sussexes’ spokesperson called “a leak in a UK tabloid, with surreptitious timing,” they quickly released a statement to set “the facts right.” The spokesperson said the duke’s security was compromised due to the absence of police protection while leaving a charity event during a visit to the UK in July — although no additional information was given, even after a further request by BuzzFeed News, about exactly what happened during this supposed 2021 security breach. After a subsequent failed attempt at negotiations with the Home Office, the Sussexes’ lawyers filed the formal request for judicial review in September.
Harry’s claim that he, Meghan, and their two small children can’t be safe in the UK without police officers guarding their backs may seem a bit odd when you consider the fact that the country’s rich and famous live in safety with their private security teams.Members of the royal family attend events accompanied by royal protection officers.
“Firearms are not an acceptable means of protection in Great Britain,” the December 2021 Home Office guide onstates. “It has been the view of successive governments for many years that the private possession and carriage of firearms for personal protection is likely to lead to an increase in levels of violence.”required
