The Duke of Sussex’s attendance at the Invictus Games anniversary event hinges on the assurance that his security needs will be met. A source close to Harry revealed that the former royal is eager to spend more time with his family in the UK, but he will not hesitate to cancel his trip if his safety cannot be guaranteed.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been outspoken about their experiences within the royal family, alleging incidents of racism and a lack of support. They have since relocated to California, where they have welcomed two children into the world: Archie and Lilibet.
The Metropolitan Police has a responsibility to ensure the safety of all visitors to London, including high-profile individuals like Prince Harry. It remains to be seen whether the force can provide sufficient protection to allay Harry’s concerns and allow him to attend the Invictus Games event without incident.
