To “live in a world where he is not burdened" by his greatest concern is what Meghan Markle hopes Prince Harry will experience in the future, a new report claimed.
An unnamed source claimed that the Duchess of Sussex has expressed her desire for Prince Harry to be able to "let go" of his cases and cease bearing the burden of litigation while he tries to reinstall police protection for himself and his family. An individual who had previously worked for the Archewell Foundation, which is owned by the Sussex couple, is said to have disclosed that Meghan "wants him to be free" of his ongoing legal battle for security.
The anonymous insider that Meghan, 42, "supports [Prince] Harry 100 percent but she wishes he could let go of these lawsuits, be happy and live in the moment.” The former actress from "Suits" is allegedly aware of the fact that the Duke of Sussex is prevented from giving up because of his deep-seated worries of history repeating itself, which stem from the sad automobile accident that occurred with Princess Diana, as well as his love for his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
"She wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he's been through and his love for [her and their children], he can't. She wants him to live in a world where he is not burdened by this,” the former staffer told PEOPLE Magazine. Prince Harry has made it clear that he is extremely worried about the well-being of his family, which consists of four other people.
"Harry is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father,” another informant told the entertainment news outlet. "Harry is determined to protect his own family at all costs,” a third tipster said to the magazine. It is common knowledge that the passing of Prince Harry's mother, Diana, in 1997, has a significant impact on him considering that he is now a father of two children.
He immediately lost the right to his police protection when he stood down as a working royal, and Prince Harry has been entangled in a long-running struggle over his security when he comes to the United Kingdom. This battle has been going on for quite some time. The subsequent court battles that he fought to have it reinstated for him, his wife Meghan, and their two children were unsuccessful, and he is currently planning to appeal the decision, The Mirror reported.
The decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) in February 2020, which stated that he would no longer be provided the "same degree" of publicly-funded protection when he was in the nation, prompted Prince Harry to take legal action. This decision was made by Ravec as a consequence of a change in the Duke's "status," which occurred when he ceased to be a "full-time working" royal.
Sir Peter Lane, a retired judge from the High Court, dismissed Prince Harry's claim that he was "singled out" and treated "less favorably" by the ruling in February. He came to the conclusion that Ravec's approach was neither unreasonable nor procedurally unfair. The Duke of Sussex "hopes to obtain justice from the Court of Appeal," according to a statement issued by a legal spokeswoman representative for Prince Harry after the verdict was handed down.
According to what was stated at a hearing that took place at the High Court, Prince Harry is of the opinion that his children will not be able to "feel at home" in the United Kingdom if it is "not possible to keep them safe" there.
"It was with great sadness for both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020. The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home, as much as where they live at the moment in the United States. That cannot happen if it's not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil. I cannot put my wife in danger like that and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm's way too,” Prince Harry said in a written statement at a previous hearing in the case.
