Know why Prince Harry-Meghan keeping their kids out of spotlight
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly chosen to limit public exposure of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, due to safety concerns. Per PEOPLE, this decision is largely influenced by the tragic death of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, in a 1997 high-speed car chase. A family friend told the magazine that the couple's reluctance isn't about hiding their children but protecting them from potential threats.
Harry's determination to shield children from any harm
Harry's primary goal is to allow his children "to lead as normal a life as possible without the fear of kidnapping or harm." The family friend emphasized that Harry's commitment as a father and husband is to prevent the tragic history of his mother's death from repeating itself. "As a dad and husband, Harry is determined to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself," the friend stated.
Harry's fight for increased family security
Harry and his wife Markle's concern for their children's safety remains a significant factor in keeping them away from the public eye. According to several trusted sources within Prince Harry's, the Duke of Sussex believes that King Charles III has the authority to restore his security. However, Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the matter. A palace insider told the magazine that the idea that the King controls Harry's security is "wholly incorrect."
Legal setbacks, constitutional constraints: Harry's security battle continues
Meanwhile, Harry has also pursued legal action in his quest to reinstate his taxpayer-funded security, but he lost his case earlier this year and plans to appeal. The situation remains contentious, with the specifics of what is preventing him from obtaining the protection he desires still unclear. Constitutionally, King Charles has no governmental authority in the UK, and the decision to grant police protection is managed by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC).
