Prince Harry “fears bringing Archie and Lilibet to the UK” amid the Duke of Sussex’s ongoing legal battle, GB News’s Royal Correspondent has claimed.
On the latest episode of The Royal Record Podcast, GB News’s Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker and the Digital Editor Svar Nanan-Sen spoke about the recent developments in the Royal Family, including Prince Harry’s legal battle against the Home Office.
The Duke of Sussex was stripped of his police protection when visiting the UK after he stepped down as a working royal in 2020, which he is currently fighting through a court case.
Cameron argued that Harry, 39, is hesitant to bring his children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, to the UK because of this lack of taxpayer-funded protection.

He said: “You remember in the Netflix documentary series, Meghan spoke very openly and quite emotionally about this, the fear she had in terms of her family’s safety, checking all the doors were locked at night in her Montecito house and worried for her children’s safety as well.
“Prince Harry still has an ongoing legal battle with the Home Office over their decisions to change the level of his police protection when he stood back as a working member of the Royal Family, and he’s been granted permission to appeal the decision.”
Svar added: “You can see how passionately Harry feels about that and how important of an issue it is to him.
“He suffered a couple of court defeats now and he’s still fighting his way, plus he’s got another appeal coming up.

“It is clearly something that they’re very concerned about. And I also don’t think Harry would be doing this if he didn’t envisage coming to the UK more regularly, both himself and his family. He clearly sees it as an important thing to be able to bring over his family.”
Cameron responded: “Well, that’s the crux of it because Harry’s case is he does not feel safe.
“He doesn’t feel his family is safe when they’re in the UK because they do not have police protection officers with the Metropolitan Police with him.
“So perhaps that is the main reason why Prince Harry isn’t bringing Meghan and Archie and Lilibet over to the UK because he can’t guarantee, he would say he can’t guarantee their safety.

“And I think in the back of his mind constantly since August 31, 1997, is look what happened to my mother.
“She chose to not have her protection officers. But the point being, she didn’t have police protection with her when she died in the car crash in Paris. And I think that really affected Prince Harry.
“So I think you can see how from Prince Harry’s perspective, he is really fearful about bringing his family over to the UK.”
