As working royals, they received 95% of their annual income from Harry’s father, then Prince of Wales. In September 2024, a US judge ruled documents relating to Harry’s visa application should remain private. However, after the Heritage Foundation challenged the decision a heavily redacted version was published. A separate court ruling previously rejected the prince’s request to be allowed to pay privately for more substantial protection. Harry said it was too dangerous to bring his family back to the UK without adequate police protection, and took the government to court.

He wants access to his previous level of security when in the country, but is willing to fund the security himself rather than ask taxpayers to foot the bill after he stepped down as a senior member of the Royal Family. Once he moved away, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) – which has delegated responsibility from the Home Office for royal security – decided he would not receive the same level of protection. “He views it as if he has a police protection team standing alongside him, then he’s safe,” he said. “He was born as the second son of the now King. He served on the frontline, making him a legitimate target, and now he can’t bring his family back to the country and to be part of his family,” he said. Prince Harry appeared to be “pretty close to tears” at times in his “very emotional” interview, a royal editor has said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they are extending their deal for films and TV shows with Harry Netflix. It is also the first X (Twitter) post to mention him since 2022 (pictured below), when he was among the young royals who took part in a walkabout in Windsor following Queen Elizabeth II’s death. Prince Harry’s tone was “hurt but full of intention” in his interview, a royal historian has said.
- He was commissioned as a cornet into the Blues and Royals and served briefly with his older brother, William.
- However, he did call on the government to directly intervene in how decisions are made by Ravec, which he said was “not constrained by law”.
- It’s not known how many years the deal is set to last or what financial arrangement is attached.
- Two years later, alongside his brother William and sister-in-law Catherine, Harry jointly initiated the mental health awareness campaign “Heads Together”.
- When news of the King’s cancer diagnosis was announced in February, Harry made a transatlantic dash to see him, but his meeting with his father was just 45 minutes long.
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the UK after stepping back from official royal duties in 2020.
- She is the tenth staff member to have left the couple in three years, the paper said, including head of staff Josh Kettler who suddently quit after around three months in the role.

- “I agree… the fact that he left this country. I agree with the fact that he no longer is a working royal, but he is a very, very high-profile person through no fault of his own,” he added.
- The “sticking point” for reconciliation is security when he visits the UK, said Prince Harry.
- Then he talked with great frankness, sounding like a slightly homesick son stuck overseas, when he spoke about wanting reconciliation.
- The couple have since launched commercial ventures, including several Netflix series and a new lifestyle brand headed by the duchess, Meghan Markle.
- In addition, Harry revealed how he learned of his mother’s death and that for a long time he thought she was still alive.
- NGN, which owns the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times and published the News of the World before its 2011 closure, also apologised for serious intrusion into the private life of Prince Harry’s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Hours after the judgment was read out in court, a bombshell interview aired in which Prince Harry said he wants “reconciliation” with the Royal Family – but claimed the King “won’t speak to me”. Prince Harry claimed Sir Richard “abandoned” a full review of his security arrangements after speaking to the Royal Household. Prince Harry, who relocated to the US in 2020, said he “can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point”. Any prospect of a return to the UK for Prince Harry, Meghan and their children – Archie, five, and Lilibet, three – is “impossible” in light of the Court of Appeal ruling, the royal told the BBC.
