At the Sussexes, we do not joke with safety. the prince harry is ready to do anything to ensure that of his family, including his wife Meghan Markle and their two children Lilibet and Archie in the United States. On the other hand, when it comes to visits to the United Kingdom, the idea is not the same. The Duke of Sussex demands that for their next visits, the British taxpayer pays for the security service necessary to ensure their backs.
By ceasing to be working members of the Royal Family, Harry and his wife Meghan lost the law enforcement protection afforded to them at the expense of the British taxpayer. Harry offered to pay the costs and is now challenging the Home Office’s refusal in court.
The couple, who left the UK in 2020 and settled in California, enjoy private protection in the US, but Harry argues they cannot have access to the information needed to be able to provide security of his family on British soil.
It was through his lawyer Shaheed Fatima in a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice this Friday, February 18 that he made it known: “The applicant does not feel safe when in the UK“where it’s supposed to be”always at home“. If he apparently wants to return to strengthen ties with the Windsor clan, it is out of the question for Prince Harry to pay out of pocket for what he considers he is entitled to have as a member of the Crown: “It goes without saying that he wants to come back to see his family and friends and to continue supporting the associations that are close to his heart.“, added his lawyer.
If some understand Prince Harry’s request, others consider him cheeky to make such a whim after the enormous sums obtained thanks to the contracts won with Netflix and the Spotify streaming platform. The first traded at no less than $100 million, the second for $30 million. A tidy sum that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could use to hire security guards, therefore.
But precisely, these contracts would be on the point of being shattered. If they hit a hell of a fortune, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would be in the sights of Netflix and Spotify, who accuse them of not honoring the famous contracts. They who were teeming with projects find themselves having produced only one podcast in December 2020 on Spotify. Same thing for Netflix that the idea of a project on the Invictus Games, so dear to the heart of the prince, was dreaming. For now, the site has still not seen the color and would even worry about the investment of the couple, to the point of asking for proof of their work provided until then. If his two contracts were to be canceled, the finances of the Sussexes would take a big hit. Perhaps the reason Prince Harry fights so hard to get maintenance today…
