Prince Harry Source Claims He Might Skip Invictus Games Anniversary Over Safety Concerns

Next month, Prince Harry may or may not return to the UK to mark ten years since Invictus Games was founded. However, following the High Court’s decision to grant victory to Home Office after they stripped him of his security, a source reportedly close to him recently revealed he’s having second thoughts.

Prince Harry Won’t Travel To the UK Unless His “Security Needs Are Met”

Once upon a time fans used to conjecture whether Harry would be returning to the UK in May with his family or solo, but now there’s huge doubts whether he himself would even make it.

A source told The Express : “Whenever Harry travels to the UK, his trips are always dependent on how secure he is. Before deciding whether to attend the Invictus Games anniversary event, his security team must be sure that St. Paul’s is adequately protected by the metropolitan police and his own security needs are met while he’s in London.”

The source added: “Harry wants to spend more time in the UK with his family, but there’s no way he can do that while a question mark hangs over his security detail.”

Harry has been to the UK several times within the last year and this one for his court battles against the Home Office and the Sun publisher. He also briefly visited his father earlier this year.

According to the source, Harry was “extremely disappointed” when the court decided to uphold Home Office’s decision to deny him round-the-clock taxpayer funded security whilst he’s in the UK.

However, this doesn’t mean that Harry has been left out in the sun to dry. No, according to former head of royal protection Dai Davies, he still will receive the necessary security whenever the risk calls for it.

“In other words, as far as it’s humanly possible if RAVEC decided through intelligence – and they get the best intelligence there is – after this furore over his protection, you can rest assured they have gone over it. They have stood by it, the government has stood by it, and the Home Office. It’s nothing personal, and as a former professional, I would apply those principles of, ‘Is it necessary and does the intelligence warrant it?’ Every time he’s been here of late, to see his father or royalty, he’s had royalty protection.”
