Prince Harry Shares Why He Won’t Bring Meghan Markle Back to the U.K.: ‘It’s Still Dangerous

police security. Although the Duke of Sussex offered to cover the costs of security, the bid was rejected, and earlier this year, High Court judge Peter Lane upheld the decision to downgrade his security.

Prince Harry plans to appeal the decision. “The Duke is not asking for preferential treatment, but for a fair and lawful application of RAVEC’s own rules, ensuring that he receives the same consideration as others in accordance with RAVEC’s own written policy,” a legal spokesperson said.

In a statement to the High Court in London at the time, Prince Harry said that he needed police security for his two children — Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3 — “to feel at home” in his native country.
“The U.K. is my home. The U.K. 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 United States,” Harry said. “That cannot happen if there is no possibility to keep them safe when they are on U.K. soil.”
“I can’t put my wife in danger like that, and given my experiences in life, I’m reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm’s way too,” he added.
