Attention royal followers: we just got a very rare statement from one of Prince Harry's representatives.
This comes as Prince Harry is seeking a judicial review in the U.K., after his request to personally fund police protection for himself and his family was denied. The Duke of Sussex's claim for a review was filed in September, but after information about the case was leaked to a U.K. tabloid, the spokesperson stated that Prince Harry thought it necessary to release a statement “setting the facts straight.”
In the statement, it talks about how, as a member of the royal family, Prince Harry “inherited a security risk at birth,” and “while his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the Royal Family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.”
The message continues, saying, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed while in the UK. In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.”
