Prince Harry could get back his police bodyguards if he was detained with his father, King Charles III, according to a former official for the fight against terrorism. Neil bass, who once led British against terrorism, said that if the king personally asked to protect his son, the metropolitan police would usually agree. Harry lost full -time safety in 2020 when he resigned from royal duties and moved to the United States. His legal attempts to re -protection have failed so far.
Former police chief suggests that reconciliation can solve the problem
Neil bass said Daily Telegraph that the decision could change if the king hit directly. “If the metropolitan police were asked to protect the Duke of Sussex either with the head of state, whether it was the queen at the time or the future king, we would protect this person,” Basu said. “I think reconciliation would be the key to this problem.”
Basu added that while the royal family traditionally avoids influencing government or police affairs, employees of the palace may have played a role in previous security decisions. It seems that his notes reflect Harry’s claim that royal helpers influenced the withdrawal of his protection in 2020.
Harry’s security background
The Duke and the Duchess of Sussex lost 24 -hour police security in February 2020 after returning from royal duties. The home office would later explain that the police protection is basically reserved for working Royals based in the UK. Since then, Harry has submitted a legal case against the authorities, because he, his wife and children are at risk of their security when they visit Britain, according to the BBC. Harry faced repeated failures in court, and the courts report that his security needs can be evaluated in a case -by -case case.
Requires reconciliation
Basu suggested that the reconstruction of confidence with King Charles could be Harry’s best chance of recurring lasting protection. However, any sign that Harry tried to use this relationship to influence security policy could further strain ties with the palace. Meanwhile, the Duke remains without a dedicated police team while traveling with its private security.
