Earlier this month, Prince Harry filed a second lawsuit in his ongoing security row against the Home Office. After previously expressing his concern, the Duke of Sussex aims to have greater protection during his visits to the UK. Speaking on a recent episode of the Daily Express’ Royal Round-Up, royal correspondent Richard Palmer shut down Harry’s demands by stating that if they were to offer protection to him, and his family, then “anyone could ask”.

Mr Palmer told host Pandora Forsyth: “If they allow him to do it, what’s to stop every, sort of, all sorts of shady characters, indeed, coming over to the UK saying ‘I want protection and I’m willing to pay for it, so I want your police to provide it for me.”

He added this could include people, such as, “Russian billionaires”.

Ms Forsyth notes that the protection, wanted by Harry, would worth “thousands of pounds”.

Mr Palmer said that it “doesn’t come cheap”.

He added that, in Harry’s argument, he is still “sixth in line to the throne” and is a “potential target” because of his past military involvement.

Mr Palmer noted Harry is “most probably, the most famous person to have served in Afghanistan”.

Speaking on Talk TV this week, royal expert Angela Levin claimed Prince Harry has “no right” to demand security as he is a “non-working royal”.

In March, Harry didn’t return to the UK for his late grandfather’s memorial service, due to his ongoing fears over security.

His wife, Meghan was heavily pregnant with their second child at the time.

Neither the Duke nor the Duchess of Sussex released any statement ahead of the memorial service.

Despite no statement being released, the reason for their no-show was noted as Harry’s security fears.
