Prince Harry is reportedly feeling stressed after being told he will not get taxpayer-funded UK security for his upcoming trip to Britain, it has been revealed. The Duke of Sussex was planning to bring his wife Meghan Markle and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK with him in July, with the family-of-four expected to stay in a royal residence.
However, it is believed there is a chance Harry, who quit royal life in 2020 and lost taxpayer-funded security, could now come alone if he can’t find a way to bring his family safely. This comes after The Sun revealed that the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) has turned down requests for protection just a week before the family is due to arrive in Britain.
A source told The Sun: “Harry is reassessing things. Ultimately, he is going to do everything he can to find a way to bring them over safely.”
The BBC reported that sources have said that the prince was distraught.
Harry has previously cited security concerns as the reason why his wife, Meghan, and their two children have not set foot in Britain since 2022, with all of Harry’s visits to his home country over the last four years being solo.
In response to the news that the UK taxpayers will not be funding security for Harry, broadcaster Piers Morgan wrote on X: ” Good. Why the hell should we pay for his security?”
