A royal expert believes the latest Home Office decision to review Prince Harry’s threat assessment could "pave the way" for a royal family reunion.
As per media reports, Prince Harry’s security arrangements for his visits to the UK are undergoing a fresh review, with the Home Office initiating a new threat assessment.
Following this, royal expert Jennie Bond came out in support of Harry, saying the Duke “deserves” the tax-payer funded protection when in his home country, given that the same security measures are given to former politicians.
Jennie said this while speaking to the i Paper.
“Security is offered to a former prime minister who served barely any longer than a lettuce takes to wilt, then surely the son of the King deserves the same? Prince Harry is asking for the Metropolitan Police to protect him and (if he were to bring them) his family on occasional visits to the UK. It does not seem an unreasonable request. He cannot change the fact that he is the King’s son,” the expert said.
Jennie further explained that the issue of Prince Harry’s security has long been a major driving force behind his estrangement from the senior members of the Firm.
She wrote: “If he (Harry) gets his wish and his security is restored when he is in the UK, it could pave the way to a family reunion.”
“There’s no doubt that our elderly King would love to see his grandchildren. And, for all the bitterness of recent years, he still loves his youngest son, his 'darling boy'”, she added.
