Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s secret trip has reportedly reignited debate over their longtime demand for tighter security. This comes after reports surfaced that the Sussexes previously enjoyed a family trip to a remote Scottish island. Critics have argued that if they can travel around the UK without attracting attention, they may not need round-the-clock security.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s private trip comes under fire amid security demands
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s private trip has reportedly revived focus on their demand for round-the-clock security. The Sussexes took their children, Archie and Lilibet, to Tanera Mòr, a secluded island off Scotland’s west coast, during their recent trip to the UK (via Radar Online).
The family trip was meant to be a private affair, but Markle’s recent Instagram post gave away the secret. One of the photos in her recent carousel included a landscape from the Scottish Highlands. This also comes at a time when the Duke of Sussex is locked in a battle with the UK government over tighter security measures for his family. However, the government has pushed back, claiming that since the Sussexes are no longer working royals, they are not entitled to that privilege.
A source dished, “The fact the family was able to travel quietly without attracting attention will inevitably be raised by people questioning the level of security Harry says he requires. Whether it has any bearing legally is another matter entirely.”
A second insider chimed in, “Supporters will argue the trip stayed private because careful planning worked. Critics see it differently and believe the episode strengthens the case that the Sussexes can move around Britain discreetly.”
For those unversed, Harry visited Britain to honor his commitment to the Invictus Games. Markle and their children joined Harry during the last leg of his tour. On July 10, the Sussexes met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarch’s private residence, Highgrove House, in Gloucestershire.
