Horrifying! But as Perezcious readers know, Anil’s confession doesn’t come as a shock as Prince Harry and Meghan have expressed their considerations about their security within the UK. The couple misplaced taxpayer-funded police safety within the nation after they stepped down from their roles as working members of the royal household and moved to California in 2020. This led Harry to ultimately file for a judicial assessment in opposition to the British authorities following their refusal to permit him to pay for police safety to be able to hold his household protected each time they’re within the nation. Things (clearly) have been so unhealthy up to now that the royal’s authorized group even acknowledged that he and Meghan not felt “safe” to deliver their kids to the UK, noting their safety group has zero entry to the federal government’s intelligence and jurisdiction.
