Prince Harry Has Invictus Anniversary Security Concerns

Just a few weeks ago, royal fans were bracing for the possibility of a Fab Four reunion for this year’s Invictus Games anniversary. Even then, it wasn’t confirmed that Meghan Markle would make the trip across the Atlantic and now, sources close to the royal family say Prince Harry might not make it either.

According to The Express, it all depends on the level of security guaranteed to Harry when he is in the United Kingdom. “Whenever Harry goes to the UK, his trips always depend on how safe he is,” a source explained. “Before deciding whether or not to attend the Invictus Games anniversary event, its security team must ensure that St. Paul’s is properly protected by the Metropolitan Police and that its own security needs are met during its stay in London.”

The source added that the Duke of Sussex had been “disappointed” with his security options, which could lead to him staying in California and sharing a video message.

“Harry wants to spend more time in the UK with his family, but he can’t do that while a question mark hangs over his security services,” the source added.

Harry is embroiled in a legal battle over his safety. He is actively trying to reverse a decision that saw his security status downgraded after he ceased to be a “working royal”. His legal team noted that he had been “pointed out” and treated “less favorably” by the Home Office and the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures.

Shaheed Fatima KC, Harry’s lawyer, told the High Court: “The applicant’s consistent position has been and remains that he should benefit from state security in light of the threats/risks he faces . »

Sources told Mirror that Harry will do his best to make the trip no matter what.

“He will not be deterred, his head of royal protection appears to be a former royal protection sergeant and is clearly highly qualified,” said former head of royal protection Dai Davies. “The other thing is that even if he (Harry) doesn’t have armed protection, he will benefit from the bonding structure that goes with it.”

The anniversary of the Invictus Games is set for May 8 in London.
