Prince Harry will not return to his native U.K this month to attend the memorial service honoring his late grandfather Prince PhilipCelebHomes News was contacted by a representative on March 11th.
This service will take place at Westminster Abbey on March 29, and it is intended to be a public tribute to the former Duke Of Edinburgh who passed away on April 9th, 2021 at the age of 99. His funeral last spring was limited to 30 people due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While The Duke of Sussex hasn’t said why he won’t make the trip, he reportedly “does not feel safe” in the U.K. after losing police protection. Harry has been in an ongoing legal battle against the British government to have the U.K.-based security reinstated for his California-based family: wife Meghan Markle and their children 2-year-old Archie and 9-month-old Lilibet.
Harry and Meghan declared their intention to step down from royal duties early in 2020. They were denied access to tax-payer funded security in the U.K., and told they couldn’t pay their expenses for protection.
