Recent revelations have intensified the security concerns surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to royal experts. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex find themselves under increased scrutiny following an FBI report that the individual who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump had also researched Kate Middleton.
Jenni Bond, speaking to OK!, highlighted the inherent security risks associated with members of the Royal Family, noting that Prince Harry's military background makes him a particularly high-profile target. "Harry’s concerns for his family’s safety are well-founded, considering the hefty costs of their private security in the States," Bond explained.
She further noted that the couple must have anticipated such challenges when they opted to step back from royal duties and relocate to the U.S. Bond recalled numerous incidents where intruders have breached Buckingham Palace's security, including one notable intrusion into the Queen’s bedroom.
Bond remarked on the necessity for high-profile figures, like the Sussexes, to maintain extensive security measures. "Many celebrities face similar threats, necessitating bodyguards to manage their safety, reflecting the unfortunate reality of today's society," she said.
Additionally, the article noted Prince Harry's recent setback in his legal battle over police protection in the UK, where his initial appeal against a High Court ruling was denied, underscoring ongoing challenges in managing his family's security.
