“I tried to settle this in private”

In his declaration, published on May 2 on his site after the court decision concerning his automatic security in the United Kingdom, Prince Harry claims to have attempted private approaches before with his family.

Leaving the United Kingdom in 2020, Prince Harry only strengthened the split between the rest of his family and him. Located in the United States with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet Diana, Prince William’s brother did not drop the case to obtain justice. After being deprived of automatic protection when he treads his native land – since he is no longer a full member of English royalty who has public commitments – he has started judicial procedures. What allow him to recover what, in his eyes, returned to him by right. This Friday, May 2, however, nevertheless, the younger son of King Charles III was officially refused his appeal to obtain free police security in the United Kingdom.

On his website, after this hard blow which puts an end to a long showdown with his country of origin, Prince Harry reacted, thanking his lawyers and pleading his cause. After explaining why it was so important for him to obtain justice on this subject, he assured that he had done everything to avoid going so far, in vain. “Throughout the 1920s and 2021, I tried to solve this problem in private, even by proposing to independently cover the costs of a necessary and effective police protection in order to ensure my safety and that of my family”, said Prince William’s brother in his long statement, to prove his good faith. A way of saying that he has always tried to reach out to the rest of his family, without achieving it for almost five years.

A prince “Really devastated”

He then said that “No one [lui a] directly responded after his proposal when [il l’a] done “, regretting this long family quarrel which continued in court, and while « [s]We action did not succeed ”. Prince Harry, who would have hoped to obtain this automatic protection to return to the United Kingdom serenely, especially with his wife and their two children, who grow up in the United States and do not really know the rest of the members of their paternal family, therefore faces a failure on several levels. Worrying about their safety, the Duke of Sussex says he is “Really devastated” Not to be taken seriously with regard to his request, when he has a military background that suggests that he is a personality at risk. This judicial decision therefore only strengthens the fracture with his family.
