Prince Harry’s Security Was “Compromised” During His Last Trip to the UK
Prince Charles—that kept him away from the UK, the new statement suggests that it was concern for his family’s safety first and foremost.
The statement explained that Harry has twice petitioned the UK government to allow him to pay for his own police security, including a request for a judicial review of the matter in September 2021, so “as not to impose on the British taxpayer.” Both times his request was denied. “As is widely known,” the statement continued, “others who have left public office and have an inherent threat risk receive police protection at no cost to them.
The spokesperson revealed that these security concerns were proven especially valid during Prince Harry’s last trip to the UK to attend the Diana statue unveiling alongside Prince William. Though photos from the event, which went viral, showed the brothersthrough the garden, we now know that more was going on during that trip than met the eye.
quoted Charlie Rae, former royals editor at the Sun, saying, “I think Harry is entitled to this. He is not saying you and I should pay for it. He will pay for the protection while he is in this country." Rae added, “I also doubt his own security from the States would be allowed to the inner sanctum of the Royal Family. That is a job that is done by the Met Police or Thames Valley Police. I think he has a point.
It’s pretty strange that Harry wouldn’t be allowed to pay for his own police security while in the UK, especially considering that the very nature of his birth has made him a highly public, likely targeted figure at home. Here’s hoping that the situation gets rectified soon, especially so the Queen can finally meet her great-granddaughter Lilibet.
