UK Not Safe For Me, Family – Prince Harry

Prince Harry believes he was forced to leave the UK and that he and his family can never feel secure during visits home without proper security, a court was told Thursday.

The youngest son of King Charles III quit the British royal family with his wife Meghan in early 2020, and moved to North America, eventually settling in California.

He has brought a case against the British government at the High Court in London after his UK taxpayer-funded protection was removed.

A hearing has been taking place since Tuesday, with only the opening and closing session open to the media and public for security reasons.

On Thursday, his lawyer Shaheed Fatima stated that Harry did not accept that he chose to stop being a “full-time working member of the royal family”.

Fatima read his written statement to the court, which said: “It was with great sadness for both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020.

“The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US.

“That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.

“I cannot put my wife in danger like that and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm’s way too.”
