Prince Harry Says He Can’t Bring Archie and Lilibet to the UK After Security Appeal Loss
The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has shared a deeply emotional message in a new interview, revealing he cannot envision bringing his children, Archie and Lilibet, back to the UK due to ongoing security concerns.
His remarks come in the wake of a legal defeat over his request for taxpayer-funded police protection, a case that may leave him liable for up to £1.5 million in legal fees.

Jack Stookes, a former royal gardener, commented on GB News following Harry’s interview, expressing concern for the Sussex children.
“I think what's hitting him now is seeing his children grow up without that connection to their grandparents,” Stookes shared.
“These are two innocent children caught in the middle, and they’re being robbed of all that love.”
He also questioned the role of Meghan Markle’s family, wondering aloud whether her father, Thomas Markle, was involved in the children’s lives:
