The youngest son of King Charles III has long demanded that he be given police protection when he comes to the UK. The request of the British Home Office was rejected. One news battle the prince started…
About 340,000 euros. This has already cost the British taxpayer a legal battle between Prince Harry and the British Home Office. The youngest of Charles III has actually launched legal proceedings in September 2021 to be able to use police protection when he travels to the UK with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children. The Duke of Sussex assures that he will pay the expenses from personal money and insists that his family needs 24-hour protection. And that’s despite royal security being automatically deployed around official events as well as Frogmore Cottage. , their English residence and Windsor Castle.
For some, it’s enough. “Expecting protection from the state is arrogant and irrational,” criticizes the former commander of Scotland Yard, John O’Connor, who speaks in columns; Sun Sunday February 19. It’s just vanity though. He only wants protection because he believes that without it his importance is diminished.”
However, the British do not seem to share this opinion. According to a YouGov survey analyzed by The DailyMail: This Monday, February 20, more than half of citizens think that Harry should indeed have police protection when he comes to the UK. 37% also say they are in favor, but on the condition that the prince, now in exile in the US, pays for security himself. Finally, 28% are categorical. for them there is no justification for the Sussexes having security personnel.
“Extremist and neo-Nazi” threats
Let’s remind that the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, left the United Kingdom in 2020 and settled in California. There they enjoy personal protection, but Harry insists they cannot access the information he needs to keep his family safe on British soil. By ceasing to be working members of the royal family, the Sussexes have effectively lost the protection afforded them by law enforcement at the expense of British taxpayers. Expenses that Harry had therefore quite logically offered to take care of. Now he is contesting the refusal in court, which was opposed by the Ministry of Interior.

Problem: the situation is extremely dangerous given the “extremist and neo-Nazi” threats that regularly weigh on Sussexes.

After a meeting with sick children, his car was chased by paparazzi in London.
