The Invictus Games are an affair of the heart for Prince Harry. That’s why he will be traveling to The Hague next week, where they are taking place this year. The decision might not be for everyone.
Since Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan moved to the United States, the couple has rarely been seen in Europe. Prince Harry traveled to Prince Philip’s funeral service last year without his wife, and he also appeared alone at the unveiling of a Diana statue in the garden of Kensington Palace. But one of his most important projects, the Invictus Games, is unlikely to be missed by the 37-year-old.
Prince Harry travels to the Invictus Games
The games will take place from April 16th to 22nd this year held in The Hague. Harry’s decision to attend, despite missing Prince Philip’s memorial less than two weeks ago, may not please his critics. Because Harry’s alleged justification that he is not safe enough in Great Britain because he would not be granted any protection is, in her view, incomprehensible.
Ken Wharfe, a former British police officer who protected Princess Diana and sons William and Harry, told the Daily Mail that Harry may be in greater danger in the Netherlands. Because veterans compete at the Invictus Games, the sporting event could rather be the target of terrorist attacks. “I’m amazed why Harry thinks he’s safer in the Netherlands than in the UK. He would have traveled with his brother or father to his grandfather’s memorial and received protection from the Met. It’s not like he’s on turned up on a bicycle in Westminster Abbey,” Wharfe said.
No better protected in the Netherlands than in England
“Dutch police will be making their own security assessments and will be in touch with Harry’s private security service. However, in my opinion, going to Holland to support a charity with a military connection is a bigger risk than going to London last week come,” he explained.
Prince Harry has been at odds with the Home Office for some time. Prince Harry is demanding police protection for himself and his family while in the UK. A privilege that was stripped from the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan following their voluntary departure from the British royal family in 2020. In his new adopted country of USA, Harry has hired private security guards to guard him and his family. The royal pays for this out of his own pocket. His lawyers argue that Harry is also willing to pay for the bodyguards himself when he stays in Great Britain and thus not to be a burden on taxpayers. The problem: The bodyguards are allegedly denied important information about a possible threat by the British government.
