A recent report suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may not proceed with their planned U.K. visit next month due to a lack of taxpayer-funded security. Insiders reveal that Harry prioritizes his family’s safety and is working to arrange adequate security for their trip.
The Guardian reported that the couple’s plans to see family and engage in charitable activities fell through unexpectedly. Sources indicate that Harry is determined to ensure their safety, especially to avoid media and paparazzi attention on their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Despite wanting 24/7 armed security, they were only offered private security at a royal residence. Financially, Harry and Meghan are reportedly feeling the pinch, with Meghan being the primary breadwinner and their security costs approximating $3 million since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
If Harry successfully arranges security, the visit might still happen, but currently, their plans hang in the balance.
