Prince Harry has reportedly been paying for a deal he chose in 2020. According to an expert, his taxpayer-funded protection allegedly downgraded when he decided to step down as a working royal six years ago. During his upcoming UK trip, the Duke of Sussex is reported to be bringing his kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and his wife, Meghan Markle. However, the security issue seemed to have left the “Spare” author in a dilemma.
Expert believes Prince Harry is facing consequences of his own actions
Prince Harry is said to have been facing the consequences of the deal he seemingly made six years ago. He, along with Meghan Markle, quit their royal roles and duties and moved to California with their family. As he was no longer a working royal, his automatic, state-funded protection was downgraded. Last year, the father of two challenged the UK court’s decision to reinstate it, but lost the battle.
According to Newsweek, Harry’s upcoming UK plans, as he was supposedly bringing his kids and wife with him, seemed to be in flux. He was reportedly denied the taxpayer-funded protection. “The Duke continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK,” a spokesperson for the Sussexes said.
Meanwhile, royal expert Robert Jobson told the outlet that the duke was allegedly facing the consequences of his own actions. He claimed that King Charles had reportedly “asked” Harry before the latter left the UK in 2020. The monarch wanted to know whether his son had “thought it through.” “Harry believed protection would follow as a matter of course. It did not. The obstacles in his path now flow from the deal he chose in 2020,” he said.
Moreover, Harry has reportedly been exploring options, as any father would, to make their kids’ visit to the UK possible. It was said that he would want his children to spend quality time with their grandfather after a long time.
