Harry’s legal representative said in a statement: “During his last visit to the United Kingdom in July 2021 – to unveil a statue in honor of his late mother – his security was compromised by a lack of police protection as he left a charity event.
A spokesman for the UK government told Reuters that the government’s security system was “strict and proportionate” and that his long-standing policy was not to provide detailed information on any arrangements, as this could compromise people’s security. They also said it would be “inappropriate” to comment in detail on any court proceedings, the news telegraph reported.
In a bomb interview with Oprah Winfrey which aired last March, Megan said that while she was pregnant with Archie, she was told he would “not get security” or a royal title. “It’s like, well, well, he has to be safe, so we don’t say ‘Don’t make him a prince or a princess,’ whatever,” the duchess said. “But if you say that the title is what will affect their protection, we have not created this monstrous machine around us in terms of click bait and tabloid feed. You allowed this to happen, which means our son must be safe. “
Harry’s legal representative said that the Duke “first offered to pay personally for the protection of the police in the United Kingdom for himself and his family in January 2020 in Sandringham”, referring to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth IIcountry house of England.
“This offer was rejected. He remains ready to cover the security costs so as not to impose the British taxpayer,” the legal representative continued. “The goal for Prince Harry is simple – to ensure the safety of himself and his family while he is in the United Kingdom, so that his children can get to know his homeland.
They added: “After another attempt at negotiations was also rejected, he requested judicial review in September 2021 to challenge the decisions behind the security procedures, hoping that this could be reassessed for the obvious and necessary protection. The United Kingdom will always be the home of Prince Harry and a country where he wants his wife and children to be safe. In the absence of police protection, there is too much personal risk. “
“Prince Harry hopes that his petition – after nearly two years of requests for security in the United Kingdom – will resolve this situation,” said the duke’s legal representative. “This is due to a leak in a tabloid in the UK, with a secret time, we believe it is necessary to release a statement clarifying the facts.
