The Duke of Sussex began his second day in the UK today, leaving his bombshell court case and family drama behind, just hours after police officers were seen attending one of his events in London on Tuesday. Prince Harry began his five-day visit to his home country on Tuesday, after a chaotic few days of various statements from his team and Buckingham Palace over his accommodation and travel plans.
The Duke was reportedly denied taxpayer-funded police protection after a review of his threat level in the UK had not yet been released, which resulted in his wife, Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, not joining him in London, due to security fears. Despite that, on Tuesday, two unarmed police officers from the Metropolitan Police were seen alongside Harry’s security team at Chatham House just before the duke left an Invictus Games event. The Daily Express understands that the officers, from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team, were called there due to concerns that the media and crowds that had gathered were obstructing the road and public footpath. It is also understood that after providing brief assistance to the duke’s security team, they carried on with their duties.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, he managed to drop into his scheduled engagement via a side door to avoid the waiting photographers.
