It seems that Prince Harry won’t be by Queen Elizabeth’s side during the celebrations of her Platinum Jubilee. His legal team told the high court that the Duke of Sussex “does not feel safe” when visiting the UK.
This comes on the first day of a legal hearing in which Harry’s petition to cover the expenses of security for him and his family while in the UK will be analyzed.
According to the legal team, Prince Harry wants his children to visit the UK, but he and his family are “unable to return to his home” because it is too dangerous.
The proposals of the arrangements for the security of public figures in the UK, including royals, will remain confidential but is expected that a judge will issue a ruling at a later date.
Prince Harry’s petition comes after his last visit in 2021 to unveil Princess Diana’s statue on Kensington Gardens and his car was reportedly chased by photographers.
He and his family lost taxpayer-funded police protection when he and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020.
Since then, Harry has been living in Montecito, California, and has returned to the UK, alone, on two occasions: for Prince Phillip’s funeral and the unveiling of his late mother’s statue. Both in 2021.
