Prince Harry is upset over security detail (Image: Getty)

Prince Harry is “throwing his toys out the pram” over security concerns for his UK visit, it is claimed.

The Duke of Sussex was set to return to the United Kingdom with Meghan, Archie and Lilibet this July – but one decision by the government could derail all his plans for a happy family reunion.

In a new episode of the Daily Expresso show with TalkTV star and fan favourite Mark Dolan, JJ revealed that the duke’s request for taxpayer-funded police protection outside royal residencies was denied.

JJ said: “It turns out it hasn’t gone through, and he won’t be having armed guards unless he is on the royal properties.”

Mr Dolan did not hold back from spilling what he had heard about Prince Harry’s response to the decision. He said: “This has driven him crazy. I’m hearing he is spitting feathers about this, throwing his toys out the pram like a toddler, which I think is very in character for Harry Mountbatten-Windsor.

“Now what should have been a wonderful second chance for Harry to build that relationship with his father and to get himself back into the royal family and it’s up in smoke.”

JJ added: “It’s the armed security that he’s so desperate to have. He wants to have the police cars around him and the armed officers walking around with rifles in their hands.”

Comments come after a source close to Harry told The Guardian the family trip now seems uncertain, as whilst the duke wants his children to meet their grandfather, he does not want them to be “chased by paparazzi wherever they go from the moment they step off the plane”.

“Their plans to see family, friends and visit various charitable causes close to the duke’s heart have been pulled out from under their feet at the eleventh hour,” the source told the publication.

The Sussexes trip back to the UK was going to be their first visit as a family in four years. While King Charles has offered them accommodation in one of the royal estates, whether they will all return together now remains unclear.
