King Charles ignores Prince Harry’s security concerns, no interest in helping out: report….Read More

King Charles has no interest in getting involved in his son Prince Harry’s ongoing fight to win back taxpayer-funded security protection, according to a royal author.

After London’s High Court ruled to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their protection in February, Harry has made it his mission to win it back — but has notably received zero help from the royals.

And according to royal author Ingrid Seward, the cancer-stricken monarch, 76, will not be lending his youngest son a helping hand in his ongoing legal battle.

The king is in a position where the security and who gets the security is decided by the government, and the government is not the monarch,” Seward told Fox News.

“When Charles was Prince Charles, he could do more, but as monarch, he has to be very careful. He cannot get involved with government policy. Therefore, probably the easiest way out is to let somebody else deal with Harry.”

“I am sure that somebody talks to Harry, it just may not be his father,” she added. “And in a way, that’s probably because his father just doesn’t want to get involved. He hasn’t got time; he hasn’t got the inclination, and he probably hasn’t got the energy for what would be a potentially difficult conversation.”

Indeed, it was reported last month that Charles is reluctant to even speak to the Duke of Sussex, 40, over fears there could be “serious legal jeopardy” given the duke’s ongoing legal case against the UK government.

“Here you have the infelicitous situation where the king’s son is suing the king’s ministers in the king’s courts,” a senior constitutional expert and advisor to the royal family told biographer Robert Hardman, via the Telegraph. “That is pulling the king in three directions.”

You also have the situation where the king’s son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong,” they added, referring to the Times of London’s report that Harry “misremembered” several conversations involving the royals, which he aired out in his bombshell 2023 memoir, “Spare.”

Sources tell Hardman that the king worries his youngest son could put him on blast by saying Charles had privately offered him assurance on the matter, which in turn would result in the case’s collapse.

“So imagine the situation if the prince were to talk to his father about his court case and then later to describe that conversation — or, worse, a conversation which was not entirely accurate,” added Hardman, author of “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story.”

There would be serious legal jeopardy. Harry would only have to say ‘My father said this’ and a court case could collapse.”

Earlier this year, London’s High Court ruled to strip the Sussexes of taxpayer-funded UK security protection.

The father of two was ordered to pay 90% of the UK Home Office’s legal costs for defending the court’s initial ruling.

In February, Sir Peter Lane, the judge of the High Court, ruled that there was no unlawfulness in stripping Harry and Meghan of their security in February 2020.

Harry has since been granted permission to appeal the decision.
