Prince Harry exploring ‘every available option’ to bring kids to UK amid security concerns

Prince Harry is exploring “every available option” to bring his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to England despite security concerns.

The Duke of Sussex’s spokesperson told Page Six on Monday that the biggest “issue” with Harry’s trip to the UK with wife Meghan Markle and their kids is “whether appropriate security will be provided throughout the visit.”

“Prince Harry’s programme in the United Kingdom includes both public and private engagements across the country,” the statement read. “Safe accommodation is only one element of an effective protective security plan because risk follows the person, not the place.”

The spokesperson explained that RAVEC, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, still has to decide the level of security granted to Harry and his family during the trip — which has complicated matters.

“It is therefore difficult to understand how the proportionality of the current arrangements can credibly be maintained without that independent assessment,” the spokesperson continued.

In conclusion, the spokesperson said Harry “continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK.”

The 41-year-old ex-royal and his wife and kids, who live in Montecito, California, are vacationing somewhere in Europe ahead of their planned visit to the UK.

Harry — who is promoting his Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham next year — desperately wants his family to see his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, sources told us.

But since the prince’s security fight with his homeland’s government is still not fully resolved, Harry has allegedly been rethinking taking the trip across the pond altogether.

Harry, according to The Guardian, doesn’t want his children to experience being “chased by paparazzi wherever they go from the moment they step off the plane.”

A source also told the outlet Harry is “distraught” that the Sussexes were only granted private security at their offered royal residence.

The “Spare” author previously lost security privileges in 2020 after he and the “Suits” alum, 44, resigned from their royal duties.

Harry has been back to the UK multiple times since then, including when he tried and failed to appeal the security decision last year.

Markle, meanwhile, hasn’t been back to England since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
