Britain Is Too Risky For Us To Visit, Says Prince Harry

Prince Harry lost taxpayer-funded police security when he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. The couple pays for private security in the US, where they now live. Harry is seeking a judicial review against a Home Office decision that prevents him from personally paying for police protection for him and his family while in the UK.

His legal representative said the duke’s private security team did not have adequate jurisdiction abroad or access to UK intelligence information required to protect him, his wife, and their children, Archie and Lilibet. They said the family had been subjected to “well-documented neoNazi and extremist threats”.
