While many think this is understandable, especially as they are no longer working royals and do not call the UK home, others – including Harry himself – have criticised the move. Over the years, the duke has even worked to try and get this changed, losing a court case over the matter just last year.
However, it seems the tables could turn, especially as the Home Office are believed to be reviewing his case again. But is this right?
I mean, Harry demanded freedom from royal life in 2020. He even said he had considered leaving royal life for years before.
You don’t see his cousins, who aren’t working royals, have 24/7 police protection. So, why should he?
Especially when Harry has no desire to return to royal duties or royal life, he just wants the perks of the security that come with it.
While it would be easy to say ‘no Harry, you chose your bed now lie in it’, it isn’t that straight cut.
At the end of the day, his safety – and that of his wife and children – matters. And he does have the right to feel safe in his home country – a country he claims he hasn’t brought Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to for years over safety concerns.
While Harry may have left royal duty behind, he can’t leave the fact that he is a royal – and a very famous one at that. That in itself comes with risks that the Home Office will have to weigh up.
On paper, the duke wants the security that comes with being a royal, but without the job itself. It’s a matter that doesn’t seem to have a right or wrong answer.
