The op-ed, titled Prince Harry: My Fears for a Divided Kingdom, follows a series of anti-Semitic attacks in the UK, including the stabbing on April 29 of two Jewish men in Golders Green and a number of arson attacks on synagogues.
In Manchester last October, worshippers Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby died after Jihad Al-Shamie drove into the gates of the Heaton Park Synagogue and began attacking with a knife, while wearing a fake suicide belt. Police later said that one of the victims died from a gunshot fired by police.
Figures published by the volunteer-run Community Security Trust (CST), which provides security and monitors anti-Semitism in the UK, covering the 12 months of 2025, showed the second-highest annual total recorded for anti-Jewish hate incidents, at 3,700 – up 4 per cent on the 3,556 incidents recorded in 2024.
‘Hatred is not protest’
The Duke wrote: “Over the past several years, I have spoken about the consequences of a world in which outrage outpaces humanity – where fear and division are amplified faster than truth, and where people are too easily reduced to categories, identities or opposing sides. What concerns me now is how dangerously that same moral blurring is taking hold across parts of Britain.”
He said Jewish communities were “being made to feel unsafe in the very places they call home”, adding that “hatred is not protest”.
“Across the country, we are seeing a deeply troubling rise in anti-Semitism. Jewish communities – families, children, ordinary people – are being made to feel unsafe in the very places they call home. That should alarm us, but also unite us.
“Because hatred directed at people for who they are, or what they believe, is not protest. It is prejudice. Recent incidents, including lethal violence in London and Manchester, have brought this into sharp and deeply troubling focus.”
