Prince Harry's Safety Reportedly In Question Over His Coronation …
Since they are no longer working members of the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, don't have the security coverage they once had in the U.K. To address these concerns, Harry is in the midst of an ongoing legal battle for protection with the U.K.'s Home Office, and the court hearing for the case is still pending. In the meantime, the Duke of Sussex is expected to provide 28 days' lead time before he returns to the U.K. for officials to consider his safety requirements.
However, if Harry had met the Home Office's deadline, it doesn't guarantee security protection for him and his family. Besides this lack of certainty, the duke has argued that this strategy is hindering his family's overall safety by not having an ongoing plan in place. As reported by The Telegraph, Harry's legal team claims that by evaluating security options before each visit, it "may lead to [the Duke's] actual arrangements being inadequate and compromise his ultimate security."
Even so, Harry isn't helping Buckingham Palace prepare for his safety by delaying to RSVP for the coronation. "Switching things like seating arrangements are fairly easy," staff commented to the Daily Mail. "But the thing that is causing more of a headache is the security, cars and other logistical matters." The Palace is currently working on both possible scenarios.
A definitive answer from Harry would reduce their workload and allow them to focus on one plan.
