Prince William‘s visit to New York had more layers and consequences than many predicted. The heir to the throne’s trip to the Big Apple was supposed to sell him as the great statesman he plans to become when he inherits the throne from King Charles III.
Prince William also came to bask in the popularity that he has achieved in the United States. Polls have him beating President Joe Biden, his father, Prince Harry, and Kate Middleton.
However, it served a purpose that almost went unnoticed — according to veteran expert Neil Sean, Prince William also removed the conversations and lawsuits about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle needing security to live a life of service.
Prince Harry is embroiled in a lawsuit against the Home Office over his and Meghan Markle’s security arrangements.
The Duke of Sussex argues that he should be allowed to pay for police protection while in the UK alone or with his family because they no longer receive personal protective security after stepping down as working royals and moving to the US.
Lawyers for the Home Office responded to the Duke of Sussex by saying it was “not appropriate for wealthy people to be able to buy specialist armed police protective security.”
On his show this week, the royal commentator went into great detail, explaining that the future King of England was able to attend meetings, sleep in a hotel, and anonymously go jogging in Central Park without the need for massive security.
He said: “This was a big story and is still an ongoing battle. Let me tell you this is between His Majesty’s home office and, of course, the British Metropolitan Police, alongside Prince Harry, who, to be fair and point this out, has offered to pay for his own security with the British Metropolitan Police. But successive home secretaries have also pointed out that the Met Police is simply not for you, no matter if you’re a former Prince Harry or not. As the case may be, what’s happened, you see, is truly this now with Prince William over in New York.”
According to the royal reporter, Prince William, despite being hugely famous, avoided a frightening situation. Sean brought up Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s scary car chase that took place in the spring of 2023.
He stated: “As we now know, he flew commercial without great fanfare, went jogging in Central Park without issues with security, no catastrophic car chases anywhere, no upset mayor, and no upset New York PD police. So everybody’s happy with what he’s done.”
He explained how Prince William took Prince Harry and Markle’s security drama off the table. He said: “And this is an interesting thing when you consider that, by default, you can leave a life of service and do these things without all the battles and the traumas that Harry and Megan claim they needed.”
The journalist and Fox News writer went on to say this about the drama that unfolded during the Jubilee: “If you remember way back at the Platinum Jubilee, they moaned about the security at that point, then Megan rolled the window down to wave to fans. It can’t be that bad.”
Prince Harry will be back in London in January to continue his court battle against the British police.
According to Sean, it is not a winnable case because of Prince William’s actions in New York.
He concluded by saying: “But either way, on a more serious note, this issue, which is set to begin in January of next year, is part of the ongoing battle for security, which is allegedly funded by the British taxpayer. Well, it’s not going to look good. They will use this particular site for Prince William in New York. You know, if it was good enough for the future king of England in the fullness of time, why is it not good enough for Prince Harry? Of course, we all know that what Harry and Megan would like is security 24/7 at someone else’s expense back in Montecito, for now, though they’ll have to look elsewhere.”
The Duke of Sussex does not intend to give up this fight.
