Prince Harry is holding his father, King Charles, accountable for the “unbelievable situation” regarding his family’s security in the UK. According to a friend of the Duke of Sussex, Harry believes that the monarch has the authority to resolve the security issues but has chosen not to intervene. Since stepping back from royal duties, Harry has been in a legal battle with the British government over the changes to his security arrangements, which he deems insufficient.
The father-of-two launched a High Court lawsuit against the home secretary, challenging the revised security measures. Harry argues that the current level of protection is inadequate for his family, especially given the increased threats they face.
Amid his ongoing legal fight, a close friend revealed to the Daily Beast that Harry blames King Charles for his predicament, believing that the king has the power to help but has not done so. “The threat is very real,” the friend stated. “He needs protection. The idea that the security forces wouldn’t allow anything to happen is a very glib dismissal of the reality of the threat the family faces.”
The friend further questioned the logic of expecting Harry to bring his wife and children back to the UK without adequate protection. “Why would he bring his wife and children back to the U.K. if they are not going to be protected? The duke needs protection, they need protection.”
Harry’s concerns are amplified by the perceived escalation of threats since his departure from royal duties. “The threat level hasn’t changed since he stepped back from the royal family, if anything it has got worse because of the tabloid campaign against him and his wife,” the friend added.
The ongoing dispute over security underscores the broader tensions within the royal family and highlights the challenges Harry faces in balancing his desire for safety with his familial and public obligations. His insistence on adequate protection for his family speaks to the seriousness of the threats they perceive and the complexities of their unique position.
As the legal battle continues, the strain between Harry and King Charles remains a significant issue, with Harry adamant that his father could resolve the situation if he chose to. The Duke of Sussex’s fight for security is a poignant reminder of the personal and public challenges that come with his royal lineage.
