Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle had been "very nicely protected" at some point of a time of magnificent loss – however the Duke of Sussex may additionally nevertheless take the British government to court docket over his security arrangements in the U.K.
Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, died Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She used to be 96.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in the U.K. Sept. four for countless days of formerly planned engagements. But after Elizabeth’s death, the center of attention used to be on family.
The queen's grandson has been facing an ongoing dispute over security in his homeland.
"I think the safety preparations for Harry and Meghan round the funeral were very a lot phase of the royal protection arrangements," True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen instructed Fox News Digital. "They have been living at Frogmore, their house on the Windsor estate included by means of all the security that protects the Windsor Castle environment. They have been included through the royal infrastructure in cars, in the procession of Buckingham Palace, everywhere. I assume there used to be probable no anxiety round security in phrases of the funeral due to the fact there was once so a great deal security around it already."
Bullen is an award-winning documentarian who has been producing applications about the British royal family for 20 years and has labored closely with King Charles for about a decade.
His subscription carrier is launching two specials for streaming: "The Royal Beat: Her Majesty’s Final Journey" and "Recollections: Memories of Her Majesty." Both function royal professionals and palace insiders weighing in on Elizabeth’s life and legacy.
The funeral of the solely monarch most Britons had recognised involved the biggest security operation London had ever seen.
Mayor Sadiq Khan printed that Monday’s nation funeral for Elizabeth was once an "unprecedented" safety mission as lots of heaps of humans packed central London to pay their respects. The funeral visitor listing consisted of 500 emperors, kings, queens, presidents, top ministers and other leaders from round the world.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy also stated that the "hugely complex" policing operation was once the biggest in the London force’s history, surpassing the London 2012 Olympics. More than 10,000 police officers were on duty, and reinforcements got here from all of Britain's forty three police forces. Hundreds of volunteer marshals and participants of the armed forces also acted as stewards along the processional route.
"Harry and Meghan have been very well blanketed during the days they have been in the U.K. due to the fact they have been within the bubble of the royal family," Bullen explained. "That used to be in no way the issue. I suppose the issue for Harry and Meghan was once all through the days when they have been out and about for their engagements earlier than the queen passed. I suppose that’s what they have been pissed off with. But, the reality is, if you’re no longer a working royal, you can’t have royal protection. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie don’t have it. Many of the other royals that exist inside the broader family don’t have it either. So I don’t see why Harry and Meghan should count on exclusive treatment."
In July, a choose in London dominated that Harry can take the British government to courtroom over his safety arrangements in the U.K. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex misplaced publicly-funded U.K. police safety when they stepped down as senior participants of the British royal family and moved to North America in 2020. Harry, 38, needs to pay personally for police protection when he goes to Britain and is challenging the government’s refusal to allow it.
Lee Sansum, who as soon as served as Princess Diana’s bodyguard, said Harry be allowed to hire his non-public security to shield him while he and his family are in the U.K.
"Harry has been in the military," Sansum explained to Fox News Digital. "He’s bought a top understanding of security. I think about he’s fairly switched onto all [the dangers]. But if he wasn’t, I would suggest he does. I would hate to be in his position, but I think being in the states is the first-class region for him to be. It’s possibly the most secure area for him to be, I would think."
Sansum has written a memoir that was once published on Aug. 30, titled "Protecting Diana: A Bodyguard’s Story," that described how he grew to become section of the security element that appeared after the Princess of Wales and her sons for what would be her ultimate summer alive.
