Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their children Archie and Lilibet, who were scheduled to attend Prince Philip's memorial service in the spring, may not be making the trip to England after all.

"Page Six" reported that they are considering skipping the event due to ongoing security issues.

The Duke of Sussex recently tweeted a statement from his legal spokesman through royal reporter Omid Scobie, according to which he was denied protection by the British police at least twice, despite the security risks he "inherited" just by being born He explained that.

When he last returned to the UK for the unveiling of a statue of his mother, Princess Diana, "his security was at risk," the statement said. If the Duke is willing to take risks for himself, he is willing to put his wife and children in danger with him.

"If Harry were to go, he would want to ensure security for himself and his family," one royal source told Page Six. 'If Harry decides to come back to the UK, he will need security.'

When the Sussexes retired from royal life and moved to the United States, they lost their British taxpayer-funded security rights and had to hire their own. But that American security force could not be used while they were in England, and they had to take police protection instead.

According to the statement, Prince Harry offered to pay for that protection personally, but this request was denied." This is despite the fact that "others who are out of public office and pose an inherent threat risk receive police protection free of charge. In other words, as it stands, Prince Harry and his family will be left without adequate security protection if they embark on a journey back to the royal homeland.

Prince Harry "sought judicial review in September 2021 to challenge the decision-making behind the security procedures in order to be protected should he and his family choose to visit the UK in the future."
