Prince Harry's contradictions: Danger in Great Britain, but travel to war areas!

Prince Harry is currently facing a legal challenge that is about his security measures in the United Kingdom. After a defeat before the London Court of Appeal, where Judge Sir Geoffrey Vos referred his demand for more protection, the Duke of Sussex continues to request state -paid police protection for his stays in Great Britain. This examination of the British government has increased in intensity since its retreat from the royal family in 2020. Harry argues that his family in Great Britain is not safe and has demanded security measures living in the USA in this context that are not compatible with the local conditions in Great Britain. Merkur reported in April 2025 visited, an area that has been often attacked since the beginning of the war.

In addition to Ukraine, Harry traveled to Mexico with his family, even though the US State Department warns of trips in regions with high gang crime. Another remarkable visit took place in Colombia in August 2024, where the couple arrived despite travel warnings due to crime. This excursion led to $ 1.5 million for security measures that the Colombian state had to take over. His travel decisions are in contrast to his fears of the security of his family in Great Britain, which caused criticism and contradiction.

security concerns and legal steps

Harry described the situation around his security as a "sticking point" in the relationship with his family. In an interview, he said that he could not imagine bringing his family to Great Britain under the current circumstances. In addition, he found that his father's recent health problems, King Charles III, who is ill with cancer, continue to complicate his wishes for peace within the family.

The legal disputes about Harry's security measures began after the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) had decided that Harry no longer needed a state -guaranteed protection after moving to the United States. According to Sky News , his lawyers have argued that he was based on his royal status, his combat inserts in Afghanistan and the associated threats of extremist groups represents an increased security risk. However, Harry's legal steps did not bring the desired success: the Court of Justice found that its “immediate security concerns” were understandable, but no legal argument.

With this defeat before the Court of Appeal, Harry's situation not only exacerbated himself legally, but also emotionally. Buckingham Palace has emphasized that the security problem has already been checked in court and the interior minister was positive about the court's decision, but emphasized that personal protection units cannot be financed on a private basis. The question of why Harry is fighting for his protection in Great Britain despite multiple visits in dangerous areas, a controversial point remains in public discourse.
