Prince Harry's ongoing security dispute with the Home Office is set to reach a pivotal moment, with an appeal hearing scheduled for April to address the downgrade of his security arrangements while in the UK.
The Duke’s ability to bring his family to Britain remains uncertain due to these security concerns.
Sources close to Prince Harry suggest that visiting the UK with his children is not possible without guaranteed safety measures in place.
A friend of the Prince shared with HELLO!, "Safe visits would allow his children to experience his home country and enable him to better support his charitable work."
This month, Harry is also set to appear in the High Court in his legal battle against News Group Newspapers.
The ongoing security issue has intensified tensions within the royal family.
Reports indicate that Harry’s attempts to discuss the matter with the monarch have gone unanswered, and sources close to King Charles argue that it would be "wholly inappropriate" for him to intervene.
The situation is especially tense regarding Harry’s relationship with his brother, the Prince of Wales. Sources say that the bond between the brothers is now "fractured almost beyond repair."
In sharp contrast to the challenges he faces in the UK, Harry has settled into life in Montecito, California.
At the New York Times DealBook Summit in December, Harry expressed his happiness, saying, "I very much enjoy living here and raising my kids here," adding, "this is the life my mum wanted for me."
The Duke’s new life includes peaceful beach walks, family bike rides, and surf lessons with his son, Archie.
Harry and Meghan have become prominent members of an exclusive social circle in their celebrity-filled neighborhood.
A local source shared, "They are active members of an exclusive social circle in Montecito. They support their friends' causes and always make time to show up."
