ON the eve of his grandmother’s 96th birthday today, Prince Harry took time out from the Invictus Games to boast about their special bond, but still refused to commit to attending her Jubilee celebrations.
He blamed “security issues” for his inability to say if he, wife Meghan and their children Archie, two, and Lilibet, 10 months, would be on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the rest of the family to mark the Queen’s 70 years of service.
In his interview with America’s NBC Today, Hoda Kotb asked Harry directly if he would be in the UK for the four-day bank holiday weekend, starting June 2.
He said: “I don’t know yet.
“Lots of things. Security issues and everything else. This is what I’m trying to do, trying to make it possible that I can get my kids to meet her.”
The Sussexes have been invited to join the celebrations and to be present for the traditional Royal Family balcony appearance as well as a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral.
But Harry is challenging the Government’s decision to refuse police security during his visits from the US. He says his private protection team in the US do not have adequate jurisdiction abroad or access to the UK intelligence information needed to keep his family safe.
He has said he “does not feel safe” in the UK and has offered to pay for police protection. But Government lawyers said his offer was “irrelevant” as the Met specialist unit were not guns for hire.
