King Charles has stayed out of Prince Harry's bitter fight over royal security in the UK because the issue is not his to decide, according to a former royal butler, even as Meghan Markle and the couple's children pull out of an upcoming visit citing safety concerns.
The dispute stems from Prince Harry's long‑running battle with the UK authorities over whether he should receive automatic police protection when he returns to Britain. The Duke of Sussex, who stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle, lost his publicly funded security and has since been challenging that decision through the courts. His latest planned trip, originally expected to include Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, has again dragged the row back into the spotlight.
