Prince Harry decides to take big risk after UK trip security plan leaked

It appears Prince Harry is putting himself at risk as he is set to visit the UK despite his security details being leaked to the country.

Security plans for the Duke of Sussex’s upcoming visit to London have been leaked months after Harry told the High Court that security concerns were hampering his return to the UK. However, the younger son of King Charles III is determined to press ahead with his plans.

The Duke’s decision to attend the Invictus Games 10th anniversary service, which was confirmed on Sunday, came after intensive discussions between his security team at the Home Office and the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC).

The court instead ordered him to pay 90 per cent, meaning Harry now faces costs estimated at £1 million including his legal fees.

The Duke will attend the event at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 and deliver a keynote speech. However, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet will not be accompanying Harry to the UK.
