Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Security Concerns Halt UK Home Search
Reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to halt their search for a home in the UK due to escalating security worries. In a bold move, Harry has initiated legal proceedings against the Home Office following their decision in February 2020 to reduce the level of taxpayer-funded security provided to him while he is in the country.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Security Concerns Halt UK Home Search
According to sources, the couple has decided to pause their quest for a part-time residence near Windsor due to the realization that resolving security concerns may take longer than anticipated.
“Harry is eager to increase his time in the UK, but he wants to ensure that all security matters are properly addressed before committing,” a source revealed to SAXS magazine.
The BBC presenter, who had interviewed the couple following their engagement, found himself in the hot seat as he addressed the duchess’ recent revelation that their relationship felt akin to an “orchestrated reality show”. The bombshell statement was just one of many shocking revelations unveiled in the couple’s highly anticipated Netflix documentary series, which premiered in 2022.
During an interview with BBC’s presenter, Meghan was asked about her views on her responsibilities as a duchess. With poise and grace, Meghan replied, “I don’t view it as sacrificing anything; instead, I see it as a transformation. It presents a fresh challenge for me.”
The Duke of Sussex’s attempt to challenge the government in the High Court regarding his security in the UK was unsuccessful in February. He had objected to the decision to lower his security level once he stepped down from his royal duties.
Harry argued that the decision was unjust, especially considering the ongoing security risks he and his family face. He intends to appeal the court’s decision as he believes that his family’s safety in the UK is at risk without adequate security measures.
A source close to Prince Harry revealed to SAXS magazine that Harry is eager to spend more time in the UK, but he is hesitant to do so until security concerns are resolved. His legal battle began in 2020, with the High Court ruling in February and rejecting his appeal in April. Despite this setback, the Court of Appeal has agreed to hear his case following a direct plea from his legal team.
The source shared that Harry and Meghan had plans to search for a part-time residence near Windsor this year, with hopes that the appeals process would be completed by the end of July. However, the source noted that the court proceedings are moving slowly, delaying their search for a home in the UK.
The decision by Harry and Meghan to temporarily halt their house-hunting efforts reflects the ongoing strain in their relationship with Prince William and Kate. While there has always been some tension between the two couples, it escalated further following the publication of Harry’s memoir, Spare.
The emotions were heightened even more by the Netflix show Harry & Meghan, where the couple openly discussed their thoughts on the Prince and Princess of Wales.
However, the sentiment apparently shifted for the better after Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis. As per an insider who spoke to SAXS Magazine, Harry is now keen on fostering a closer bond with his niece and nephew in the UK for both himself and his own children, who have had limited interaction with William’s family.
A source from the Royal Family revealed that Harry carries a sense of remorse for not nurturing a relationship with his nieces and nephews, and that Archie and Lilibet are unaware of their only cousins. Harry envisioned a childhood for them intertwined with William and Kate’s kids: George, Charlotte, and Louis.
