There is a lot going on behind the scenes when it comes to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s attempted attack. So much so that The Royalist’s Tom Sykes has turned to his Substack with his own two cents on the matter.

For those unversed with the attack, it happened this Wednesday, and saw a man in a ski mask leaping out of his car near Sandringham Estate and ‘sprinting’ towards Andrew while he walked his dogs, had a crowbar, and was screaming abuse and obscenities.

Now days later the expert is convinced “this man was clearly intent on doing serious physical harm to a member of the royal family.”

On his piece he also wrote about Prince Harry’s rumored reaction to the news of his uncle’s attack and says, “Harry has been made aware of the attack on Andrew, I am told.” Moreover while Mr Sykes makes it clear “he has not yet shared his reaction with the sources I spoke to,” they still said it’s ‘reasonable to assume’ he will be “totally freaked out” and will now “double down on his position” that he “simply cannot bring Meghan and the children back to the UK without a comprehensive security package in place.”

Before concluding he also said, “Whatever you think of Harry, or the sometimes foolish ways in which he has made the security situation worse for himself, the attempted attack on Andrew shows that a way must be found to make Harry secure when he visits Britain. A decision urgently needs to be made.”
