Although the safety of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children was the main concern during their visit to the UK, they still received more security than expected. The prince has been fighting his case in court for more than a year and making demands to ensure his family can safely visit the UK after he lost his security clearance by abandoning royal duties. However, according to recent reports, despite customs clearance issues, the family traveled to the UK and were given more security than expected.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their kids got more security than expected
Earlier, ahead of the visit, the prince requested updated security options for him and his family; however, the Home Office and the Executive Committee for the Protection of the Royal Family and Public Figures rejected this. According to the Daily Mail, security details for the prince and his family have been significantly improved compared to recommendations.Prince Harry’s personal retainers have previously given evidence of six terror plots against him; however, he has still not received more security. However, the couple still decided to travel to the UK to attend the Invincible Games event and meet King Charles and Queen Camilla. It was also the first time Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie met their great-grandparents.A statement included in the report reads: “He wanted complete security from the start, but that was not on the table; what was on the table was considerably more than before. So the visit was much better and everything is in a better place. It’s still a small step, but there is reason to hope moving forward.”Prominent royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told British News that nothing is set in stone yet and Prince Harry’s situation could change at any time. Another of his statements read: “The security situation is subject to change,” he explained. “There is a threat; we know he has a stalker. Security issues are the most important issue at the moment. The situation has not been resolved and the situation is unsatisfactory. I think people thought, and I thought, that he was going to get it. He didn’t, and still hasn’t so far, but that doesn’t mean he won’t at some point in the future, so that could happen now that security issues are in the news. “During a visit to the UK with his family, Prince Harry also took the family to visit the grave of his mother, Princess Diana. However, after this, a report from RadarOnline suggested that this may have also led to more rifts between the two brothers. A statement from the same source read: “We are fully aware that elements of this visit could be captured in future projects, such as Netflix’s Harry documentary or in social media posts that are upsetting to family members.Another shared, “The intention was probably to include very personal material in a documentary tied to next year’s anniversary.”As of now, there seems to be no room for reconciliation between Prince Harry and Prince William.
