Prince Harry is reportedly reassessing his plans to return to the UK due to emerging security concerns, particularly after details of his potential attendance at an upcoming Invictus Games event became public.
According to sources cited by Express.co.uk, the Duke of Sussex, who is expected to participate in the 10th-anniversary celebrations of the Invictus Games at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday, May 8th, is troubled by the revelation of specific event details, including time and location.
The insider revealed that Harry's security team had emphasized the importance of maintaining discretion regarding his travel plans, especially in light of potential security risks heightened by sensitive disclosures made in his memoir.
"Harry is acutely aware of the security implications, particularly given the recent leak of event specifics. In past UK visits, last-minute announcements were commonplace due to similar concerns," the source conveyed.
While the guest list for the Invictus Games event had initially included Meghan Markle, her attendance remains unconfirmed, adding another layer of complexity to Harry's decision.
The advance publication of the event details by St. Paul’s Cathedral has intensified Harry's apprehensions, as he previously sought legal intervention over the downgrading of his security status following his withdrawal from royal responsibilities.
The recent breach of confidentiality has only exacerbated Harry's concerns, prompting him to contemplate the feasibility and safety of his UK visit.
