Prince Harry made a heartbreaking admission earlier this month after losing his court appeal over his UK security rights. The Duke of Sussex, 40, had taken the Home Office to the Court of Appeal in a bid to try to have his UK taxpayer-funded security rights returned to what they were during his days as a working royal. This comes after his security rights were reduced in 2020 when the duke and his wife Meghan Markle, 43, decided to step down from royal life and move to the US.
After losing his appeal earlier this month, Harry sat down with the BBC and admitted that he does not think it will be safe to bring Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, three, to the UK anytime soon. He also made a heartbreaking admission about his children and what they will miss out on by not visiting the duke’s home country.
Harry told the BBC on May 2: “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
Talking about his children, the prince then said in a sad 10-word admission: “The things that they’re going to miss is, well, everything.”
He continued: “I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK, of course I do. I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
While Harry himself has visited the UK numerous times since quitting royal life in 2020 and moving across the pond, the same can not be said for his wife and two children, who last stepped foot in Britain in 2022.
Although Archie spent the first few months of his life in Britain, Princess Lilibet – who was born in the US – is believed to have only visited just once.
This is because Harry believes the country is not safe for his family without the security he once had as a working royal.
