‘Betrayed’ Prince Harry feels Archie & Lilibet are at risk: ‘It’s not just about protection’

Prince Harry has been struggling in terms of his homeland and while previous reports have revealed the extent of the ‘shadow forces’ that are at play, allegedly ensuring he’s ‘kept away’, as of right now a source has revealed just how badly he misses the chance to bring his children into the fold.

The entire thing has been shared in a candid one-on-one with Closer magazine and features not just insight into his mental health but also the hoops he feels forced to jump through.

According to the source, the biggest part in all of this is the promise of better security arrangements, because only with them at work does he feel ‘safe’ in allowing his children into the other side of the pond.

As of right now Prince Harry’s right to security requires him to inform of any travel 30 days before doing so, and while they claim Harry “was led to believe there would be progress on his security, and instead it feels like the door is being quietly closed on him again.” This is why the insider claims he ‘genuinely’ feels like he’s been “betrayed by his dad and his brother.” Furthermore, “it feels very much like Charles and William have closed ranks - they want to keep him at arm’s length.”

“He feels like there were assurances about his security and now suddenly, there’s hesitation, delays, complications. In his mind, that doesn’t feel accidental. He believes there are forces within the establishment who simply don’t want him back in the fold.’”

As for his most well awaited appearance at the 2027 Invictus Games that are slated to happen on his home turf, where it all began, the same source notes that no chance remains that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will make their debut without things getting ‘sorted out’.

Reportedly, “hey are not willing to take that risk. Meghan won’t come if the situation isn’t sorted and the children certainly won’t.”

But that isn’t the only part in this which the “Harry sees his children as just as important to the future of the monarchy as George, Charlotte and Louis. He doesn’t see them as separate from that story.”

Before signing off the insider also weighed in to say that part of his overwhelm is also because, “he misses what the UK represents” and “hates the idea that his children might not have a connection to it.” At the end of the day “it’s not just about protection, it’s about whether he is being allowed back in, in a meaningful way. He hasn’t given up, but he’s starting to feel like the system is working against him.”
