It was one of the potentially worst times for this news to come down: Prince Harry has been denied his bid to pay for his family’s security protection in the U.K., with the news coming just a week after his and wife Meghan Markle’s two-hour car chase in New York City by the paparazzi—likely a time where they feel less safe than ever. In addition to Harry and Meghan, Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland was also involved in the incident.
Per Us Weekly, Harry losing his bid to pay for his security is “totally wrong,” says royal security expert Richard Atich, who says the couple’s security measures need to be discussed not just in the U.K., but in the U.S., as well. Harry, Meghan, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, live in Montecito, California; the family moved stateside in 2020 after stepping back as working members of the royal family.
