Prince Harry's concerns are growing over serious security risks after the leaked publication of his return date to the UK. The exact date and time of the 10th anniversary service for the Invictus Games, scheduled to take place at St. Paul's Cathedral on May 8th, were unintentionally revealed on the cathedral's official website. This inadvertent disclosure has raised significant concerns about Prince Harry's security. Express.co.uk has exclusive details on this matter.
The accidental publication of Prince Harry's appearance date and time at the 10th anniversary Invictus Games ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral has caused heightened security concerns and potentially puts his attendance at risk. Sources informed the Daily Express that Prince Harry's team emphasized the need to keep the exact date of his appearance confidential due to security concerns in the United Kingdom.
The revelation of the service details on St. Paul's Cathedral's official website has intensified the concerns, particularly in light of the revelations made by the Duke of Sussex in his memoirs. In the memoir, Prince Harry discussed his military service, including his involvement in combat situations, such as having killed 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. The source stated that Prince Harry is well aware of the potential risks to his security, especially considering the sensitive information he shared in his diary.
As a result, Prince Harry's team has been insistent on keeping his whereabouts strictly need-to-know whenever he has appeared at events in the UK in recent years. Last-minute announcements have been made on previous occasions to mitigate security risks. The fact that St. Paul's Cathedral posted the exact time and date of the event Prince Harry was scheduled to attend on its official website weeks in advance constitutes a serious security risk.
It is noteworthy that Prince Harry recently lost a high court appeal against the government regarding his security while in England. He objected to the decision to lower his security status after stepping back from his royal duties and claimed that he was treated unfairly in the changes to his police protection, despite still facing significant security threats. The Duke appealed the court's ruling, which stated that there was nothing illegal in the security decisions. The source mentioned that Prince Harry is determined to continue appealing the court's decision, as he wants to spend more time in the UK with his family but does not feel comfortable doing so until his security is ensured.
The leak of the Invictus Games anniversary service date has not been received well, to say the least. The source expressed that it has added further concern to Prince Harry's already existing worries about his security in the UK. Last week, express.co.uk exclusively revealed that Prince Harry was scheduled to attend the service at St. Paul's Cathedral on May 8th. Although the event is listed on the service schedule page of the official website, no public announcements have been made yet. Normally, events are announced in a more visible section of the site, but this has not been done in this case. Express.co.uk has reached out to Prince Harry's spokesperson for comment on this matter.
