Meghan Markle is supportive of her husband, Prince Harry, as he navigates the challenges of leaving behind royal drama. A former employee of the couple’s Archewell Foundation shared that Meghan fully backs Harry but wishes he could move on from ongoing lawsuits and find happiness in the present moment. Despite her desire for his freedom from burdens, she understands his past experiences and commitment to their family make it difficult.
Prince Harry has been advocating for the reinstatement of taxpayer-funded police protection for himself and his family since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Concerns for their safety, particularly due to documented threats, have led to his reluctance to return to the UK without adequate security measures in place.
In February 2022, Harry expressed feeling unsafe in the UK, citing risks to his wife, Meghan, and their children, Archie and Lilibet, from extremist threats. However, a court ruling denied their request for tax-funded security during visits to the UK, prompting Harry to consider appealing the decision.
The security issue has also impacted Harry's relationship with his father, King Charles III, as he believes the monarch holds the key to resolving the situation. Harry sees security clearance as a crucial factor in reconciling with his father and ensuring the safety of his family.
Despite ongoing legal battles, Harry recently dropped a libel lawsuit against a UK publisher to focus on the security detail lawsuit. His spokesperson emphasized that Harry's priority remains the safety of his family and addressing the security concerns rather than engaging in prolonged legal proceedings.
Harry's initial lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday stemmed from allegations of false claims regarding his offer to pay for his own police protection in the UK. By shifting his focus to security matters, Harry aims to protect his family and address the challenges they face in light of ongoing threats and legal battles.
