Prince Harry, who shares two children, Archie and Lilibet, with Meghan Markle, reportedly harbors deep concerns about returning to Britain due to ongoing tensions with the royal family.
A former royal butler has revealed that Harry’s primary fear revolves around potential threats to his safety and that of his family, particularly given his complicated relationship with the British public.
According to Grant Harrold, who once served as King Charles' butler, the Duke of Sussex remains apprehensive about the possibility of an attack. He explained that Harry’s relationship with the public is marked by both admiration and resentment, which adds to the risks associated with any visit to the UK. Harrold emphasized that this underlying fear is likely one of the key reasons the prince avoids returning, in addition to the fractured ties with his family.
Another major concern for Harry is the lack of security measures available to him in Britain. Since stepping back from royal duties, he no longer receives the same level of protection, which further fuels his reluctance to visit. The butler suggested that the fear of a potential assassination attempt plays a significant role in his decision-making, adding another layer of complexity to his strained relationship with his homeland.
These revelations follow Harry’s recent legal battle, in which he lost a High Court challenge against the UK government over security provisions during his visits. This ruling has only heightened his concerns, making his return to Britain an even more complicated and uncertain prospect.
