Prince Harry Believes King Charles Wants to ‘Control’ Him Over Police Security
Prince Harry believes King Charles III is denying him automatic police protection in the U.K. in an attempt to “control” him, arguing that the “very real threat” to his and his family’s safety on home soil is being unreasonably dismissed.
A source close to Harry laid the blame for the “unbelievable situation” around Harry being denied automatic police security in the U.K. firmly at the feet of his father, saying, “If the king wanted, he could do this for his son.”
However, official sources at Buckingham Palace told The Daily Beast that it would be “wholly inappropriate” for the king to pull rank and attempt to influence the government committee, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC), which makes decisions about royals’ personal protection. They added that these decisions were now a matter for the courts, as Harry was litigating the matter.
