Prince Harry has said his children are not safe in the UK and that it would be dangerous for him and his family to come there without police protection.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, resigned in 2020 as senior members of the UK royal family, one of the most powerful royal families in the world. The couple currently live in the US state of California with their 3-year-old son Archie and 8-month-old daughter Lilliput.
It is customary for senior members of the UK royal family to be provided with police protection at the expense of the state. Harry and Megan lost that status as they left the royal family.
Thus Prince Harry demanded that he be given police protection at his own expense when he came to England. But it was denied by the UK government. Prince Harry sued in London court against this. The case came to the hearing yesterday.
At the time, Prince Harry, who did not appear in court, took his argument in writing through his attorney. “I want to come to the UK to meet family and friends and support charities,” he said.
But I did not feel safe there. My children in particular have no protection. It is dangerous for me and my family to be there without police protection. ”
The lawyer for the UK government later said: “Harry’s claims are unquestionable and unqualified. Following this, the trial was adjourned.
