Prince Harry security review win will not help 'ease' things with father

Prince Harry will enjoy no benefit after winning a review into his tax payer funded security, says an expert.

Prince Harry, who has time and again urged the Home Office to give him security during his time in the UK, is not trusted by father King Charles.

Meanwhile, an insider adds: "When Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals, they knew they would lose automatic police protection. It was clear after he lost his case at the Court of Appeal in May how strongly he still feels about security, as he gave an intemperate and highly erratic interview to the BBC of over half an hour.”

The source notes: “There are threats against him and his family and these are now being reassessed by Ravec, the Home Office Committee in charge of security. There is no doubt that he feels passionately about the need to have police protection for himself and his family, if and when they visit Britain and we know he wants to come here more frequently. It is currently decided on a case by case basis."

Royal expert Richard Eden said: "There have also been unconfirmed reports that, although we understand that the brothers have not spoken in over three years, William has softened his opposition to some form of reconciliation.”

He added: “Although the King has long been associated with the idea of a 'slimmed down monarchy', there are only four working royals under 70. The monarch is still battling cancer and Catherine is in remission. If the Sussexes had not stepped down, there would have been enormous opportunities to expand their roles.”
