It was a not-so-jolly holiday.
Prince Harry has been asked to offer the UK’s Home office one month of notice that he can be traveling across the pond in order that they can determine if the previous royal needs a security detail.
In accordance with a latest report obtained by The Telegraph, after submitting the safety request it’s as much as the Home Office to make a decision the extent of security needed because the Duke “stepped back” from royal life in 2020.
The Duke of Sussex hit back on the office asking them to supply an example of somebody like the previous royal who didn’t receive security after leaving the general public eye.
“I would love them to supply an example of where another person has left ‘public duty’ with the identical threat assessment as me, and received no security,” said Harry. “I used to be born into this and the threat won’t ever decrease due to my status regarding the family.”
Previously, Harry has slammed the protection his family received as “patchy, disjointed and inadequate” when the Duke and Duchess attended memorial events for his mother, Princess Diana in June of 2021.
In February 2022, the Duke sued Associated Newspapers Limited after the outlet broke a story that claimed the royal tried to maintain his fight with the British government under wraps.
Prince Harry’s legal team argued that the Prince was “gravely concerned about his safety and security during future trips to the UK” and that he felt that “given the gravity of what’s at stake for him and his family” his only option was to take legal motion.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been subject to intense media scrutiny, hostile social media attention, and targeting by violent extremists attributable to (amongst other things) the [Duke’s] ten years of military service within the British Army,” continued his legal team. “The Duchess of Sussex’s race and their involvement in charitable and other social justice initiatives.”
In accordance with his lawyers, the 28-day notice imposed by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) could threaten his safety.
Lawyers say that the notice “hinders their ability to plan for and manage his security arrangements; may result in [the Duke’s] actual arrangements being inadequate and compromise his ultimate security.”
