Prince Harry has revealed he wants his children to have police protection so they ‘feel at home’ in the UK
His comments open the door to the unusual possibility that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could again spend significant time in the UK. Less than four years ago, he and Meghan Markle fled the country, with Harry escaping. He said later“Fearing for our lives.”
Harry’s new statements came in a statement read by his legal team before the Supreme Court in London, in which he said that the government should not strip him of the right to automatic police protection on British soil simply because he left the royal family. And I moved abroad.
The government agency RAVEC, which is responsible for protecting high-profile individuals, has claimed that the “detailed” arrangements put in place are adequate. Harry has already failed in his request to be able to seek paid police protection upon request.
Much of the action was carried out behind closed doors because it touched on sensitive security matters, despite Harry’s statement.
In it, according to London timesHe denied that leaving the UK was a choice, saying: “My wife and I both felt very sad to be forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020.”
He added: “The UK is my home. The UK is a key center for my children’s heritage and a place where I want them to feel at home as much as they want to feel where they currently live in the United States. This cannot happen if it is not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.
“I cannot put my wife at risk in this way, and given my life experiences, I am reluctant to put myself in harm’s way unnecessarily as well.”
Harry’s team argued that Harry faced a risk “arising from his birth and continuing status as a child of His Majesty the King,” and said: “This case is about the right to safety and security. There can be no right more important for any of us.”
