Currently, Harry’s security in the UK is handled on a case-by-case basis, following the same procedures used for visiting dignitaries.

After losing his court case earlier this year, Harry accused the Royal Household of orchestrating a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up,” and told the BBC: “I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.”

Buckingham Palace has firmly denied that Charles plays any role in the decision-making process. “The King cannot and will not lobby,” a royal source told The Times. “His representatives cannot advocate for policy outcomes, particularly in relation to his own family.”

Safety Concerns During His Recent Visit

During his latest trip to the UK — which he reportedly funded himself — Harry was accompanied only by a liaison officer, who was on standby for emergencies.

It was later revealed that a known stalker managed to come within meters of the Duke on two occasions before being “body blocked” by a member of staff. The incident has only strengthened Harry’s belief that his safety — and that of his family — is at risk without official protection.

Determined to Secure Protection for His Family

Despite repeated legal and diplomatic setbacks, sources close to Harry say he remains determined to “privately lobby” for stronger security measures. His goal, they claim, is to be able to visit his homeland more frequently and safely — and to eventually bring Meghan, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, with him.

But with tensions rising once again and palace officials reportedly exasperated, Harry’s latest move threatens to undo what little progress had been made toward healing the royal rift.
