Since moving to the United States, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to the U.K. only twice and sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex say that there’s only one way that he will bring his wife and two children, Archie and Lilibet back to his home country.
“Harry has his heart set on returning to the U.K. to see the queen with Meghan, Archie and Lilibet, but that will only happen if the government takes the appropriate measures to protect his family,” an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly of the Duke of Sussex, 37. “He refuses to put them at risk. Their safety comes before anything else.”
For those who may not know, the Prince is no longer awarded police protection while in England as he is no longer a working member of the Royal Family. He even requested to fund the police protection agency personally to visit, his request was denied.
“Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life. He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats,” a legal spokesperson for Prince Harry said earlier this month. “While his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the royal family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.”
The Duke of Sussex was able to fund for his own personal security team in California, he believes that it won’t be enough to protect his family in the U.K. “That security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the UK,” the statement explained. “In absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return home.”
Prince Harry has made it clear and is determined that Archie and Lilibet have a relationship with their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. “Harry and Meghan are doing everything they can to make the world a better place and feel it would be wrong to rob their children of the opportunity of getting to know their cousins,” the insider shared “It’s obviously difficult because of the distance factor, so Harry sweetly organized a special Zoom call with Prince William so that the cousins could get to see each other.”
